Welcome to Episode 104 of The Endless Growth Podcast!
Gratitude, ambition, and the daily battle with self-comparison—this episode dives deep into the mindset shifts that shape success.
Alex and Edgar start by reflecting on the power of gratitude, exploring how appreciating small wins doesn’t mean settling but instead fuels progress. They break down the struggle of balancing thankfulness with the drive to achieve more, especially in a world where social media constantly tempts us to compare.
Speaking of social media, they get real about how scrolling through highlight reels can make even the most accomplished people feel behind. Edgar shares a story about a hat entrepreneur’s rise to success, while Alex admits to spending too much time online, battling the urge to measure his progress against others.
But it’s not just about mindset—this episode also touches on business, real estate, and the power of taking action. They talk about the fear of market saturation, why timing and consistency matter more than the “perfect” idea, and how networking and visibility create opportunities most people overlook.
Alex also shares his perspective on the home-buying process from his time as a real estate agent, breaking down the behind-the-scenes challenges that buyers and agents face. Plus, they discuss the frustration of social media algorithms, the perfectionism trap that stops people from posting, and why just showing up consistently is half the battle.
From battling limiting beliefs to embracing the realization that everyone is too busy with their own lives to judge yours, this episode is packed with raw insights, personal stories, and reminders to keep pushing forward.
Tune in for an episode that’ll challenge your perspective, spark motivation, and remind you that success is a mix of gratitude, ambition, and persistence.
