Every entrepreneur eventually learns the hard truth: your time and energy are limited. And if you’re wasting that energy on things that don’t move you forward, you’re holding yourself back from the business you want to build.

In this episode of The Goal Getter’s Guide, Jen Laffin shares 20 things goal getters no longer waste time on — from second-guessing every decision to chasing shiny new projects. 

You’ll walk away with a clear picture of where your energy leaks might be and how to reclaim focus, clarity, and momentum.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why perfection, procrastination, and comparison drain your progress
• The mindset shifts that separate goal setters from goal getters
• How to identify and release the habits that slow down your growth
• A simple challenge to create more momentum this week

Highlights from the Episode:

1. Goal getters trust themselves instead of second-guessing.
2. They choose progress over perfection.
3. They act their way into clarity, not the other way around.
4. They expect discomfort — and keep moving through it.
5. They stay consistent without the “fresh start” cycle.
    …and 15 more habits they avoid so their energy goes where it matters most.

Why It Matters

Success isn’t just about what you do. It’s also about what you stop doing. By dropping even one of these time-wasters, you’ll feel lighter, clearer, and more equipped to follow through on your biggest goals.

🎧 Listen in and choose one habit to release this week. It may be the exact shift that helps you move from stuck to unstoppable.
