26: The Secret Behind Every Breakthrough - Persistence
Success rarely comes from talent or intelligence alone. The truth is far simpler — and far harder: success belongs to those who persist.
In this episode of The Middle-Aged and Miserable Podcast, we explore the often-overlooked factor behind every meaningful achievement: persistence. For many men, the desire to change careers, launch a business, or escape the rat race is quickly followed by a wave of doubt — “I don’t know how,” “I’m not smart enough.”
But what if none of that was the real problem?
This episode reveals:
- Why persistence outperforms education, connections, or intelligence
- The four predictable stages every long-term goal goes through
- How to survive the “nothing’s working” phase without giving up
- The difference between blind persistence and strategic pivoting
- Why your why is the single most important factor in staying the course
You’ll also learn how to reframe self-doubt, avoid burnout, and shift your mindset from short-term struggle to long-term vision.
Whether you’re building a side business, pursuing a new career, or simply looking to live life on your own terms, this conversation will help you stay focused — and finish what you started.
