About this listen
Let’s be brutally honest for a second: You aren’t "strategizing." You aren’t "waiting for the right moment." You are terrified.
In this episode, we expose the silent killer of dreams: The Perfectionism Trap. We explore why your brain treats your massive, ambitious goals like a physical threat, triggering a safety mechanism that locks you into Analysis Paralysis. We’ve been lied to—we’re told to "dream big," but big dreams often lead to big freezes.
We discuss why overthinking is actually a form of psychological self-sabotage designed to keep you safe, comfortable, and completely stagnant.
Here’s what we unpack:
- The Biology of Stuck: How high standards trigger your brain's "fight or flight" response.
- The Motivation Myth: Why relying on "feeling like it" is a guaranteed way to fail, and why Action must precede Confidence.
- The "Low Bar" Strategy: How intentionally doing a bad job (at first) is the secret to elite performance.
- Friction vs. Results: Shifting your focus from the perfect outcome to the immediate act of starting.
If you are tired of negotiating with yourself every morning, this episode is your permission slip to be imperfect, messy, and undeniable. It’s time to stop thinking and start moving.
