In this solo episode of The Mindset Mentor, host Rob Dial opens by urging listeners to subscribe, rate, and review the podcast. He then shifts focus to the central theme: the importance of where a person’s life is heading rather than their current circumstances. Dial argues that modern society has eroded patience because of the instant‑access culture enabled by Google, Amazon, Uber, and similar services. He contends that this expectation of immediate results leads many to feel frustrated when success—whether a six‑pack, a thriving business, or a healthy pregnancy—doesn’t materialize quickly. Using concrete examples from fitness, entrepreneurship, and pregnancy, he emphasizes that meaningful outcomes require time, consistent effort, and realistic timelines. The episode serves as both a motivational call to adopt a long‑term, patient mindset and a practical reminder that convenience in information and goods does not translate to shortcuts in personal growth.

I would greatly appreciate it. Today, I'm going to be talking about where you're going. I'm going to be talking about how to turn your life around. No matter where you are, I don't care where you're like. In fact, if I'm being, like, fully transparent, I don't really care where your life is right now, whether it is amazing or whether it's complete shit. Doesn't really matter. What I'm more worried about and what I care more about is where you're going, like, what direction your life is heading in. Because you could have, like, terrible past, you could have not the best circumstances right now, but if you are heading in the right direction, you will eventually get where you're trying to go. And we're going to talk about that today. We're going to talk about where you're going, but most importantly, how to actually get there. And I'm going to talk about this first. The first thing I want to say is that we live in a world where I think it's getting harder and harder and harder to be patient. It's really hard to be patient nowadays. And the reason why is because we expect everything to happen right away. Like, if I have any question in the entire world, I can just literally Google it. Hey, how fast is the speed of light? And immediately, I know exactly how fast the speed of light is. When I was a kid, that wasn't an option. Like, we would have to go to the library. I'd have to ride my bicycle to the library and hope that when I got there, the right encyclopedia was there. And if it wasn't, I would never know how fast the speed of light is. Now it's like, I have a question. I have an answer. I have a question. I have an answer. If I want something, I go on Amazon. There's a lot of times I can get it delivered today if I want some. Want to get to someplace and I don't want to drive, I can Literally hire a taxi basically, and have an Uber or a Lyft arrive at my house within the next, like five minutes. If I'm hungry, I don't even have to get my ass off the couch. I can literally just order some food and get food delivered to my house and not have to go anywhere if I don't want to go into the grocery store. Because I never, ever want to go in any grocery stores. I just have my groceries delivered to me. And that's just set up that way. Like every morning I just wake up and the food delivery is already there. It's wild. And so we're actually starting to train ourselves to want things immediately. I think this is why so many people are sad that they don't have the success they want, because they think they're going to work for four days and they're going to have the success they want. Like, how ridiculous is that to think, you know what, I'm gonna work for four days and then I'm gonna have a million dollar business? Like, it doesn't work that way. There are some things that the convenience of Google, the convenience of Amazon, Uber are just not going to be able to help us with. Like, I can't just go on Amazon and just get in overnight shipping a million dollar business. It doesn't happen that way. Great things take time to build the body that you want. You can't just walk into the gym and think that you're gonna leave the gym with a six pack. Doesn't work that way. Like, there are things that just take time. It's like going, oh, she's pregnant. Could we hurry this up? Could we get it done in the next three months? No, you can't. You've got to wait for great things take time. Creating a baby takes time. Creating a six pack takes time. Creating a million dollar business takes time. But we're starting to be trained more and more and more to expect things immediately. And that's just not the way that the world really actually works. That's the way that the Internet has provided us the convenience for a lot of things. But don't misconstrue convenience for the way that the entire world works. You know, if you think about like 100 years ago, if you wanted some strawberries 100 years ago, you would have to go buy the seeds. Hopefully whatever grocery store you went to or whatever place it was had the seeds. Let's say not even 100 years ago, let's say 300 years ago, you wanted strawberries. Just because there were probably grocery stores 100 years ago. Let's say 300 years ago, you wanted strawberries.
