#1016: The hills are the way: Why growth starts where comfort ends

In this episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio’s Coaches Corner, Brian and Robin Joy tackle one of the most common misconceptions in business: the search for a foolproof, step-by-step blueprint to success.   Drawing from personal stories, coaching experiences, and even a 10-mile race through Colorado’s Garden of the Gods, they reveal why growth doesn't come from copying someone else’s path but from navigating your own challenges. They share the difference between blueprints and frameworks, the value of taking action before overthinking, and why the toughest parts of your business — your "hills" — are not obstacles, but the path itself.   Tune in to get inspired to face your own business hills head-on and learn why writing your own story is the key to lasting success.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "What documents should I retain when selling online?"   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/GfXHWG897sY   Show note LINKS: TheProvenConference.com - Our May 2025 event - plan to join 100s of listeners to this show in Orlando May 29-31st, 2025!   SilentJim.com/keepa - Keepa is the only tool you need when starting off selling.
