The Mindful Agent

Just Do It: The Mindset That Changed My Life

Listen Later

There’s a moment every one of us faces in business and in life—the choice between holding back because of fear, or stepping forward even when our stomach is in knots. In this episode of The Mindful Agent, I open up about how I’ve learned to stop waiting until I felt “ready” and instead build confidence by doing the very thing I thought I couldn’t.

 

The truth is, action reshapes identity. Every phone call, every presentation, every risk we step into becomes proof that we’re more capable than our doubts suggest. And when we start collecting those small wins, we not only grow our business—we grow ourselves.

 

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Why “I can’t” is often just a shield we use to avoid discomfort—and how to break through it.

  • Why confidence doesn’t come before the action, but is actually built in the act of doing.

  • Simple steps I’ve used to lean into action even when my nerves told me to hold back.

  • How consistent effort in real estate creates not just results, but a stronger sense of who you are.

  • How to see resistance and nerves as signs you’re exactly where you need to be.

    • Each time we step forward into the work we’ve been avoiding, we prove to ourselves that we’re stronger, braver, and more capable than we imagined. And that’s why—at the end of the day—there really is nothing better than just doing it.
