Here’s a brutally accurate performance indicator:

If I looked at your calendar—and the hard conversations, follow-ups, and decisions you keep avoiding—I could predict your results with scary accuracy.

Most leaders don’t lose momentum when things get hard.

They lose it after they succeed.

In this episode, we expose the success trap—the moment when results improve, pressure lifts, and leaders quietly stop doing the very things that made them successful in the first place.

In this episode, we break down:

• Why success tempts leaders to coast instead of compound
• How avoided conversations and postponed standards quietly kill momentum
• The difference between motivation and emotional stamina
• Why elite leaders keep doing the hard things after the applause fades
• A simple daily tool to rebuild execution before results slide further

You didn’t get stuck because the market changed.

You got stuck because you stopped doing what worked.

Elite leaders don’t work hard until they succeed.

They work hard because they’ve succeeded.

If your results have stalled, this episode will show you exactly where discipline slipped—and how to rebuild it starting today.
