Episode 523: Why Fear, Doubt, & Perfectionism is Keeping You From Achieving Your Goals


Listen Later

In this solo cast, I'm bringing you behind the scenes of our In the Trenches Bootcamp and sharing the questions I ask every attendee—and the surprising answers I keep getting. Too many investors set goals but stop short of executing, and that's what holds them back.

As you watch this episode, I challenge you to stop waiting for the "perfect time" and start treating your goals as committed plans backed by consistent action. I'll walk you through why most people freeze up, the system I teach for breaking paralysis, and the mindset shifts that separate the top 3% of doers from the 97% of dreamers.

If you've been sitting on the sidelines or if you've been "getting ready to get ready", this episode is your wake-up call to act.
