Courage and Confidence Podcast – Season 3, Episode 4: "When Opportunities Feel Like Hard Work"
What if the opportunity that could change everything is right in front of you — but you can't see it because it looks too much like hard work? In this thought-provoking episode, Lee and Michelle explore one of the most quietly powerful ideas they've tackled yet, inspired by a quote from Thomas Edison: "Opportunity is missed by most people because it's dressed in overalls and it looks like work."
The conversation takes a brilliantly unexpected turn when Michelle reveals that Lee has no idea what they're going to talk about — making for some wonderfully honest, unguarded moments as Lee works through the ideas in real time, including a few genuine lightbulb moments of her own.
Together they unpick why we so often miss, dismiss, or talk ourselves out of opportunities — and what we can do about it:
Michelle's challenge to listeners is simple but powerful: think of something you've been putting off. What are you actually waiting for? And what might happen if you just did the work?
A genuinely eye-opening episode that will have you looking at the situations in your own life with fresh eyes.
