John and Erik dive into the importance of patience in achieving success and how our expectations and measurements can either empower or sabotage our progress.Key takeaways from this episode:John shares examples of successful people who faced numerous rejections before achieving breakthrough success:Mr. Beast uploaded 455 videos before gaining significant tractionGary Vaynerchuk posted 1,000 wine videos before getting discoveredColonel Sanders pitched KFC 1,009 times before getting a yesJ.K. Rowling faced 12 rejections before Harry Potter was publishedThe Beatles were rejected by four record labels and honed their skills playing in German clubs for yearsWalt Disney heard 300 "no's" before Mickey Mouse became successfulThe hosts explore how impatience is often a form of entitlement, where we expect results without putting in the necessary work or time.Erik shares his personal experience with content creation, including a video that got 90,000 views followed by several that received only a few hundred views, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the algorithm.The most valuable insight: Change what you measure. Instead of focusing on views, followers, or immediate results, measure the number of reps (videos created, workouts completed, etc.) – things that are within your control.John discusses his upcoming meditation series and the importance of emotional states, noting that what we really seek in achievements like "$10 million" are specific feelings: victory, safety, confidence, and freedom.The conversation concludes with the hosts celebrating a heartwarming email from a listener in Portugal who adopted a dog after being inspired by the podcast – a reminder that impact often happens in ways we don't measure.Subscribe to The Expansive: link.chtbl.com/expansive Hello!
