Progress, Growth, Expansion

Ed Mylett | Cumulus Podcast Network
About this episode

Crush your EXCUSES and Embrace Growth in Every Step!


In today's episode, it's just you and me 1:1 and I'm fired up to dive into a topic that affects so many of us — overcoming the paralyzing pursuit of perfection. This episode is all about shifting your focus to growth and expansion, even when the journey isn't flawless.


I'm walking you through the three principles that have been the cornerstone of my personal and professional success:

  • Progress over Perfection,
  • Growth over Destination,
  • and Expansion over Stagnation.


I'm breaking down how perfectionism can be a hidden form of ego and how it stifles real progress. Plus, I'm sharing personal stories, like my early days in business where I embraced the mantra, "Pardon my progress," that will help you understand why your progress threatens others and how to harness that criticism for your own progress.


You'll learn the importance of small, consistent improvements and how the difference between winning and losing often comes down to minor adjustments. I emphasize the value of continuous learning and the danger of becoming stagnant.


This episode is packed with actionable advice and motivational insights designed to help you embrace progress, learn from failures, and continue expanding your potential. Whether you're facing criticism, dealing with setbacks, or just feeling stuck, this episode will empower you to keep moving forward and growing.


Join me for an inspiring episode that promises to shift your perspective and ignite your passion for relentless improvement.
