2 Upcoming Years Will Suck & Why That's A Great Thing

Episode #475 with Dr. Kevin Groth

Adversity is opportunity — if you have the right mindset. And to help you move forward from the difficult times in your life, Kirk Behrendt brings back Dr. Kevin Growth to explain why you will have a few bad years, how that's a great thing, and ways to embrace the years that suck.

Quotes:

  • “In Traction, Gino Wickman talked about out of a 10-year window, you're going to have two great years, six good years, and two awful years. And I think the important thing to reflect on is that you're going to have two really bad years, and those bad years are actually what propel you forward.” (3:50—4:06)

  • “It is easy to coast. And it’s fun, and it’s good. You need brakes. Everybody needs a little bit of rest, but at the same point in time know that the next wave of “suck” is going to come, and then that's going to drive you into a whole different realm of, ‘What do I need to do now?’” (8:55—9:10)
  • “It’s good to have a vision through [life]...
