How to Keep Going When Success Takes Time
Mon Sep 29 2025
Success in business rarely happens overnight — but waiting for results can feel overwhelming, discouraging, and even lonely. The truth is, entrepreneurship is a marathon, not a sprint.
In this episode of the Project Purpose Podcast, I sit down with psychologist and business owner Dawn Smith to explore the mental endurance entrepreneurs need to thrive in the “in-between” seasons. We talk about:
Why instant results are a myth in entrepreneurshipThe psychology of patience and resilience in businessPractical strategies to stay motivated when results are slowHow to celebrate small wins and maintain momentum over timeIf you’ve ever felt stuck, burnt out, or tempted to quit because success seemed too far away, this conversation will give you the tools and mindset shifts to keep going strong.
