I am Michael Awad an IT Manager in my mid-thirties. In these podcasts, I talk about creating a strong mindset and motivating yourself in a job that requires sitting behind a desk all day. It requires hard work, and I believe the only way to achieve happiness and keep yourself motivated is to take the path of most resistance and embrace the process in life as well as in your professional career. Forget about the result mindset and start believing in the process!
You’re Doing Everything Right… So Why Are You Still Stuck?
You’re doing everything right.
Training. Discipline. Showing up every day.
And still… nothing.
No results. No recognition. No breakthrough.
So you start questioning everything:
Am I not good enough?
Am I missing something?
What’s the point of all this effort?
Here’s the truth most people never realize:
Progress doesn’t feel like progress.
It happens in silence.
In long, invisible phases… where nothing seems to change.
Until suddenly it does.
In this video, I break down:
Why you feel stuck even when you’re doing everything right
The hidden phase almost everyone quits in
And the “plateau effect” that decides whether you win or disappear
I’ve lived this myself going from consultant → programmer → manager…
Feeling behind every single time… until everything clicked.
Most people don’t fail.
They quit right before it works.
If you’re in that phase right now… this video is for you.
