‘This is easy!’ Is maybe more Alpha? The phrase seems to dismiss the efforts needed and the speaker is attempting to infect the learner with a blase yet positive mood...just my thoughts
To me saying that it will be easy later seems like you are focusing on the result. Personally, I have certainty in the result because i know that after i have put in the time and effort i have gained the experience that will aid me be good at w/e i'm doing.

Saying 'it's easy' now it is more focused on the process, so on the doing itself. So, i care much more about the process of getting there, about the journey - i want it to be a good journey.
