E 192 - Stop Waiting for Permission with Jon Acuff

Listen Later

In this episode of From Busy to Rich, Wes sits down with bestselling author Jon Acuff for a conversation on procrastination, growth, permission, and how to stop holding yourself back from the life you actually want.

Jon breaks down why procrastination isn’t a willpower problem (it’s a permission problem) and how the stories we tell ourselves quietly shape our future.

This episode is packed with practical frameworks, mindset shifts, and powerful questions that will help you move from hesitation to action.

In This Episode We Cover:

  • Why procrastination is often a form of self-protection
  • The hidden permission issues around money, success, and growth
  • How to “make tomorrow easy today”
  • The difference between dreamers, planners, hustlers, and analysts
  • Why desire, not discipline, is what creates lasting change
