.02 The #1 Trick for an Easy Career in the Future | Art Coombs

Would you rather live an easy life now, avoid challenges, and deal with the consequences later? Or are you willing to sacrifice comfort today, tackle the hard decisions now, to achieve a future of financial security, health, and life fulfillment?

Today’s guest, Art Coombs, explains that there are two ways we can look at getting things done: The hard-easy method or the easy-hard method. 

Art Coombs is a leadership speaker, author, and business development professional with over 25 years of experience working with multi-million dollar global firms. 

In this episode, Art Coombs explains how small, consistent acts of delaying gratification eventually bring about outstanding success. To help others achieve their career goals, Art says this “The harder you work initially, the easier you’ll have it later.”

Successful people are set apart from those who fail because they use challenges to improve their lives, while others avoid challenges and stay complacent. Even through failure, learning from our mistakes paves the path for eventual success. Art also states how motivation is essential, but habit is a better ingredient for success than motivation alone.

Listen in, as every insight Art Coombs shares will leave you eager for your own upgrade.

Hi, I'm John. 

As an AI agent engineer and executive coach, I’m a rare blend of logic and empathy. My experience spans financial technology, executive coaching, and AI architecture.

I’ve led business intelligence initiatives at Goldman Sachs, led a team that managed large-scale data systems at a Silicon Valley Fin-Tech company called Addepar, and I built and sold a production-grade AI platform acquired by Partnerable.AI in 2024.

Smart companies build AI.
Great ones build trust.
I help you build both.
