Grit over Glamour

Right now, I’m in the middle of a 100-day workout challenge. The goal? Move my body for at least 30 minutes a day and share my progress in an online fitness group. Simple in theory — but in practice, it’s a challenge. Truthfully, most days I don’t feel like working out. It’s not glamorous. It’s not exciting. But it’s teaching me something important: how to show up, even when it’s not convenient.

Sticking with something day after day has shown me that leadership isn’t always loud or flashy. Sometimes, it looks like doing the mundane — again and again. The same is true in business. There are parts you may not love: tracking expenses, organizing payroll, or showing up for networking events when you’d rather stay home. But consistency in these areas builds the foundation for something lasting.

The question is: can you shift your mindset and commit to the long game? Can you choose to lead well, even when it feels routine?

Because here’s what I’m learning: you never know what’s on the other side of obedience — when you remain faithful to what you’ve been called to do.

Join us at The Business Brunch Conference – Lead Well and be reminded that showing up matters — even on the days it doesn’t feel like it.
