The "When" Trap: Stop Waiting to Live Your Life


Listen Later

"I'll be happy when I hit six figures." "We'll travel when we have more time." "I'll rest when the business is stable." Sound familiar? In this episode, we expose the dangerous trap of delaying your life until some future condition is met—and how it's actually stealing your present joy and slowing down your business growth.

Raj and Victoria get vulnerable about how the "when" mentality cost them years of joy, health, and presence in their relationship. They share the turning point that changed everything and give you five practical steps to break free from this cycle today.

  • Why linking your happiness to future milestones is self-sabotage
  • How the "when" trap prevents you from achieving your goals
  • The difference between contentment and complacency
  • Why operating from lack vs. abundance changes everything
  • How to give yourself permission to feel successful NOW


Action Steps:


  1. Identify your "whens" - Write down all the ways you're saying "I'll feel X when Y happens"
  2. Ask the shift question - For each one, ask "What would change if I decided to feel this way right now?"
  3. Take one confident action today - Act from the place of already being/having what you're waiting for
  4. Notice the energy shift - Journal or voice note how operating from fullness (vs. lack) changes your results
  5. Make it your default - Keep practicing until this becomes your natural operating system
