In this Friday Focus episode, Ken dives deep into the power of maintaining a positive outlook—especially when setbacks and rejections seem never-ending. Inspired by a listener’s comment about the "endless supply of rejections" in the job search, Ken shares a powerful story comparing the fast-growing corn crop to the slow and steady growth of bamboo. Sometimes, just because we can’t see progress, doesn’t mean things aren’t working beneath the surface.

Ken discusses how to cultivate a belief that your hard work is paying off, even if the results aren't immediate. He emphasizes faith—not in a purely religious sense, but as the deep-seated belief that your efforts matter and growth is happening, even when it’s invisible. Sharing his own journey of persistence, from low-engagement social media posts to landing TEDx talks, Ken shows that patience, belief, and consistent action are key to becoming truly unstuck and unstoppable in your career and life.

Tune in to learn how to shift your mindset, keep moving forward, and trust that—and how—things are working out for you.

If you're ready to take the next step and get unstuck and unstoppable, you can find time on Ken's calendar at https://kenwilliamscoaching.com/breakthrough
