Growth Sparks. Five insights for your personal and business growth —straight to your inbox—every Sunday.
Hey Trailblazers. Welcome to Growth Sparks. We all avoid discomfort, but what if the pain you dodge today is the very thing holding you back? The truth is, short-term pain isn’t just unavoidable—it’s the price of long-term success. Your future self is begging you to read this…What I bet on: Doing the hard thing now makes your business win later. You avoid the hard stuff. We all do. But here’s the truth: The uncomfortable path is almost always the right one. Imagine this: You’re scared to climb a big hill because it’s steep and your legs will hurt. But when you get to the top, you see a beautiful view and feel so proud! That’s how it works with your business too. Short-term pain leads to long-term gain. So why do we resist? Most people avoid short-term pain because it feels… well, painful. They think, “Why work hard when I can chill instead?”
We crave instant relief. And run from pain. But here’s the trick: the hard stuff—like fixing a problem or learning something new—builds a stronger business later.
This is the biggest trap: We tell ourselves that we’ll handle the hard stuff later. But “later” never comes. And the problem doesn’t disappear—it grows. Delaying the pain only multiplies it. Successful people understand one thing: Discomfort now leads to success later.
The people who win don’t avoid short-term pain. They embrace it. So what is the fastest way to grow? Do the hardest thing on your list—first. Here’s how to make it a habit:
Now, it's your turn: Find the problem, make a plan, and do it. You’ll see more money, happier customers, and a stronger business.
