Podcast Ep 399 - Client hesitates with a $13k sale, what do you do?
Tue Feb 03 2026
In this episode, I talk about what it really looks like to grow through the hard things in business—especially when money, emotions, and uncomfortable circumstances are involved. Using a real coaching conversation as an example, I share a powerful framework for navigating pain without letting it turn into unnecessary suffering. If you're facing a situation you don't want, don't like, or wish were different, this episode will help you understand how acceptance—not resistance—is the key to growth, wisdom, and peace.
Key takeaways from this episode: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.
Pain combined with resistance creates suffering; pain combined with acceptance creates peace or wisdom.
Resisting reality multiplies emotional stress.
Arguing with what's happening adds friction and keeps you stuck.
Acceptance doesn't mean approval.
You don't have to like a situation to accept that it's happening.
Clean pain leads to growth and wisdom.
When you accept what is, pain becomes a teacher instead of a burden.
Every challenge is shaping your capacity.
Difficult moments build the emotional strength and wisdom required for higher levels of success.
You can feel pain without letting it own you.
Acceptance allows you to experience hard things without being consumed by them.
This episode is an invitation to stop arguing with reality and start growing through whatever is in front of you.
