Hurt people often project their pain onto others. Feedback, even if hurtful, can be valuable for growth. Protecting your time is essential for progress. Time blocking can help maintain focus on tasks. Commit to experiments for a set period to gauge success. Count episodes, not downloads, to measure progress. Persistence is key, but know when to pivot. Chasing money can lead to poor decisions. Embrace mistakes as learning opportunities. MORE FROM THIS EPISODE: HTTPS://PODMATCH.COM/EP/366
