Notes from Our First Group Call: How Progress Actually Feels
Key Takeaways 📝
- Discomfort is a signal, not a stop sign. Frustration and plateaus usually mean the work is finally working, not that something has gone wrong. Progress often feels worse before it feels clearer.
- Depth beats novelty. Mastery comes from staying with one acquisition channel long enough to move past “newbie gains” and into real skill. Most people quit right before that happens.
- Metrics clarify behaviour. Numbers aren’t judgment. They’re feedback. Without them, it’s easy to self-soothe instead of self-correct.
- Questions create commitment. When people arrive at conclusions themselves, they’re far more likely to act — and stick with it when things get hard.
A few themes that came up repeatedly 🧠
- Many people mistake friction for failure, when it’s often just the cost of skill development.
- Community accelerates learning because articulation, teaching, and reflection lock insights in.
- Over-reliance on AI for avatars and messaging creates distance. Clarity comes from real conversations, not generated ones.
- Silence, objections, and hesitation aren’t problems to fix — they’re information to work with.
