Success for the Athletic-Minded Man #155 Making Success Easy(er): Turning Hard Work Into Inspired Action
How to create “drive.”
Does success require hard work? Well, yes and no. When you discover how to turn hard work into inspired action, the pain and suffering that is required to achieve meaningful goals get easier. But you have to stop and do the work. You have to discover what’s important, why it’s important, and how to set goals that are connected to those things.
But there’s fear. I know. And doubt. So, you wait. Maybe next year. Maybe when you read one more book or talk to one more expert. So the waiting continues. You feel adrift. Or maybe like you’re barely keeping your head above water. Like you’re so busy you can’t stop to evaluate what you even want lest you drop one of the balls you have in the air. But you know there’s more in you. You know you’re leaving too much on the table. You know you’re capable of more and being average scares the crap out of you. But still, you wait.
How do you break this cycle? How do you move forward despite chaos, busyness, fear, doubt, and uncertainty? How do you turn hard work into inspired action?
We’re going to dive into this today in this episode of Success Through Failure.

About Your Host Jim Harshaw
My name is Jim Harshaw. And I know where you’re at. You’re working hard and qualified for what you do but you aren’t getting what you want. You have plans on getting to the C-suite or launching a business but ultimate success seems as far away today as ever. You’re at the right place because you can get there from here.
And I can help.
Who I Am
I’m a speaker, coach, and former Division I All-American wrestler that helps motivated former athletes to reach their full potential by getting clarity on what they really want and taking aggressive action to lead their ideal life not just despite their prior failures but because of them.
I’m a husband and father of four. And I’m a serial entrepreneur. I’ve launched multiple successful businesses as well as the obligatory failed one. I’ve been the executive director of a non-profit and have raised millions of dollars. I’ve worked in sales. I’ve even been a Division I head coach. While I was born in a blue-collar home I have spent my life surrounded by Olympians, CEO’s and millionaires.
Jim Rohn said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”
I’ve been lucky.
I’ve learned the habits of successful people and guess what. You’re just like them. I know because I know your type. You’re programmed for hard work, which is a prerequisite for success, but you’ve never been shown how to use what you know to create the life you want with the tools you have.
I will show you how.
Why You Are Here
You've worked hard to achieve greatness. You’ve set goals and maybe even set records. You’ve definitely failed and you’ve at some point found yourself questioning if you were on the right track.
You need to understand this: You are far more prepared to succeed than those who’ve not tried, competed, struggled and overcome like you have. That’s the value of your education as someone who aims high. You are prepared to be as successful as your wildest dreams will allow.
Here I will teach you, with the help of brilliant minds that have been shaped by failure, struggle, and adversity, to be who you want to be. I sense that you want this because you have read this far.
