#4: The Cost of Inaction


Listen Later

You’re not lazy. You’re not unmotivated.

You’re just stuck in survival mode defaulting to comfort and delaying the hard things until “later.", until things 'calm down'.


But as you know, it's not going to be easier later

In this episode, I break down the real cost of doing nothing, how waiting quietly erodes your progress, your energy, and your potential.

You’ll learn:

  • Why your mind resists adding anything “new”

  • The concept of time spent vs time invested

  • What “double bottom line” time really looks like

  • The invisible toll of kicking things down the road

I’ll also share the story of my garden (and what two years of delay cost me) + a practical way to identify what you’ve been putting off and how to finally take action.
