Overnight Success Is a Lie: What You Never See Behind the Scenes
Manage episode 505820348 series 3586142
In this episode of Never in Reverse Podcast, Jeremy Axel and Doug Cox break down one of the most toxic myths in business, the idea of overnight success. We’re pulling back the curtain on what really goes into those so-called “instant wins” and why the truth is way less glamorous (but way more powerful).
We’ll explore:
- How media narratives skip over the grind and fuel false expectations
- Why persistence and long-term effort matter more than perfection
- The hidden role of luck vs. grind in shaping success stories
- Real stats on how long success actually takes
If you’ve ever felt “behind” because of someone else’s highlight reel, this conversation is for you. Success isn’t fast, clean, or guaranteed it’s earned in the trenches, stitched together by failures, and hidden behind the scenes most of the time.
