Persisting Through the Chaos: Lessons from the Messy Middle

Live Full Work Fun Podcast

In this episode, the hosts Gayla Scrivener and Fran Groesbeck explore the concept of the "messy middle," a phase in any project or goal where things feel disorganized and chaotic.

Gayla first heard the term “messy middle” from Michael Hyatt several years ago when she participated in his Best Year Ever course.

The messy middle is often characterized by a sense of being overwhelmed and not yet seeing the results you desire.

However, both Gayla and Fran emphasize that this phase is a natural and necessary part of any endeavor. They share their experiences, insights, and strategies for navigating this challenging phase and coming out the other side with successful results.
