Most people don’t fail because they’re lazy. They fail because they don’t know what to do next. 

In this episode, Sharran tackles the biggest problem holding people back: useless advice. Phrases like “just do it” or “stay disciplined” sound great, but they don’t tell you what to do next. That’s where the Action Filter comes in. It's a tactical system that helps you break down advice into steps you can execute immediately. It helps turn vague advice into clear, executable steps that drive results.

Sharran walks through real-world examples from Michael Jordan, Marvel, and Steve Jobs to show how elite performers turn plans into results. If you’re tired of motivation without action, this episode will give you the clarity you need to move forward.

Stop listening to generic advice. Tune in to learn the Action Filter and execute your biggest goals today!
