🎧 Episode Summary
Seneca warned us: “While we are postponing, life speeds by.” Leaders often delay, waiting for perfect timing or certainty. But delay is just fear dressed up as caution. Time moves whether we act or not.

The Stoics remind us that clarity comes faster from action than from endless overthinking.

🧠 What You’ll Learn Today:

  • Why waiting for perfect timing is dangerous
  • How delay is often fear in disguise
  • Why action creates clarity

💬 Share This With a Leader Who:

  • Struggles with decision paralysis
  • Waits too long for the “right moment”
  • Needs momentum more than more planning
