206: The Best Advice You Can Give Someone Looking for Success

When you’re ready, here are three ways I can help you build your engineering career:

 

1. Engineering Career Accelerator Scorecard … foundational development actions and key points you can check, score, and apply immediately to stand out and excel at work.

 

2. Join us at Happy Hour … a limited-attendance LIVE monthly workshop where we dig deep into career growth strategies and provide 1:1 open coaching for you at the end of the session.

 

3. Work with me directly … start with a free chat and ensure it’s a great fit, then work with me and my team privately in our intensive coaching program, exclusively for engineers.

Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you push, your goals just aren’t happening fast enough?

 

In this episode, I’m sharing some of the best advice I’ve ever received—advice that completely changed how I approach success and personal growth. 

 

A few episodes ago, I talked about the worst advice I’ve ever heard, and today, we’re flipping the script. I’ll take you back to a pivotal coaching session where I realized my frustration with "slow progress" was actually self-imposed. I’ll also share two experiences—one at an amusement park and another in my business—that taught me the power of patience, surrender, and presence. 

 

If you’ve ever felt like you’re not moving fast enough toward your goals, this episode is for you. You’ll learn why chasing speed can actually slow you down and how shifting your mindset can make your vision a reality sooner than you think. 

 

So press play and let’s chat…are you stuck in the waiting game or embracing the ride?
