Have you ever heard these myths about long-term success? That you have to choose between a job you love and a high-paying career, that playing the long game means giving up short-term rewards, and that there is only one correct path to success. Fortunately, Dorie Clark has the truth to share with career-driven individuals who seek long-term success: How to Create Success Playing the Long Game.
We often psych ourselves out when it comes to pursuing our passions, but the truth is, if we persevere, the competition becomes easier as we progress. But it takes courage to face who we are and what we want and set our minds to it. What will you do?
“It is unrealistic to expect to achieve success overnight. However, the good news is that you can substantially increase your chances of achieving success rapidly if you are dedicated to showing up and implementing strategies that align with your goals.”

Dorie Clark Joins Me To Discuss How to Create Success Playing the Long Game
Dorie Clark, an accomplished author and thought leader, was once, like many others, unsure about her career path. When her plans to be an academic failed, and she got laid off from her job as a journalist, Dorie was faced with the harsh reality that life could change in an instant. Through a series of reinventions, she eventually found her way to entrepreneurship and has since become a successful business owner. In her most recent book, “The Long Game,” Dorie shares the valuable lessons she’s learned from her own experiences and those of others. She emphasizes that the key to creating long-lasting success lies in perseverance and consistency.
Drawing from her own experiences and those of countless others, Dorie demonstrates that it’s not about the number of competitors at the starting line but the few who make it to the finish. By being persistent and consistently evaluating one’s desires and motivations, anyone can find success playing the long game.

More From My Conversation With Dorie Clark
The Long Game
The long game refers to the concept of focusing on long-term goals and success rather than being constantly driven by short-term wins. By adopting a long-term perspective, individuals can make more strategic decisions, develop resilience, and cultivate a growth mindset that will serve them well in both their personal and professional lives. The long game requires patience, perseverance, and a dedication to constant learning and improvement as a critical component of long-term success.
In the Passion Struck podcast, Dorie Clark shares how playing the long game has helped her transition from a journalist to an award-winning author and speaker, revealing her method for building resilience, strategic thinking, and cultivating a personal brand. By learning from her experiences, listeners can gain valuable insights into achieving long-term success and happiness.
The Exponential Power of Perseverance and Patience
Perseverance and patience play a crucial role in achieving long-term success. Success may not come instantly, and it is essential to remain focused on one’s goals and not become disheartened by setbacks. By demonstrating perseverance and patience, individuals can surpass the competition and achieve exponential growth in their careers.
During the interview, Dorie Clark highlights the importance of making peace with patience and persevering in one’s chosen field. She emphasizes that the rate of the payoff is not linear but exponential, and by putting more dedication and effort into one’s craft, one can experience a compounding effect that results in escalating success.
