11. Trust the Process Part 4: When It Stops Working (Or Feels Like It Is not Working)

About this episode

This episode discusses what to do when the process feels like it has stopped working and how to overcome doubt and plateaus in progress.

What do you do when the process stops working… or at least feels like it? This episode tackles the moment most people quit—the plateau, the silence, the doubt. You'll learn why progress hides, how your mind misreads effort as failure, and what disciplined performers do next. If you're questioning everything… this is where it actually starts working.
