IN THIS EPISODE
Welcome to episode 26 of the Dream Build Repeat Podcast. If you’re someone who’s in the midst of waiting and needs the motivation to keep going, this episode just might be the pick-me-up that you need.
In this episode, I'm going to talk about the importance of trusting the process and doing the work while waiting, especially with today’s microwave society. I’ll be sharing five incredibly inspiring stories to remind us that success doesn't just happen overnight, even when it seems like it does for some people. How do we approach our own periods of waiting? What do we choose to do when the outcome that we want isn’t happening soon enough? These are some of the things that we reflect on in today's episode.
