E317. The Secret to Doing Hard Things: Eat the Frog First

In this episode of PivotMe, April dives deep into the age-old productivity wisdom: “Eat the frog first.” But this isn’t just about task lists—it’s about courage, action, and momentum. April breaks down why high performers don’t avoid hard things; they just do them faster. With raw stories, practical insights, and a splash of humor, this episode will challenge listeners to stop delaying and start leaping. Key Takeaways: What the Frog Really Is: It’s that hard conversation, overdue decision, or the lingering task you keep pushing off. And it’s costing you peace and progress. The Myth of Graduation: You don’t outgrow difficult tasks. Successful people just build the muscle to handle them faster and messier. 10 Seconds of Courage: You don’t need hours of motivation—just ten seconds of brave action to shift everything. Momentum Matters: Eating one frog builds energy to tackle the next. Success is a domino effect—just start. Don’t Over-Prepare: High performers don’t “perfectly plan” their attack on the frog—they just move. They wreck it. They move on. Quote from the Episode: “Frogs don’t disappear when you get more successful. They just get bigger—and you get better at eating them.” Actionable Items: Identify the “frog” you've been avoiding—name it. Set a timer and give yourself 10 seconds of bravery to leap. Don’t wait for permission, motivation, or perfection—just move. Use the momentum from one win to build into the next. Hard things don’t go away. But you don’t need less frogs—you need more courage. Eat the frog, eat it fast, and watch how your confidence and success compound. --------- Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders? 🚀 Join us for Collaborate in Grass Valley 2025! 🌟 Don’t miss out on your chance to connect, grow, and unlock your full potential with a community of like-minded go-getters. 👉 www.theaprilgarcia.com/collaborate 👉👉 Connect with me here: Website: https://www.theaprilgarcia.com  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/AprilGarciaPivotMe  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theAprilGarcia/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theaprilgarcia
