When Overthinking Becomes Your Biggest Obstacle
Host: Scott Smith
Episode Description
In this energetic episode, Scott Smith shares a powerful lesson he learned during his days as a radio host that has become one of his most quoted pieces of advice. With his trademark blend of humor and straight talk, Scott tackles the common tendency to get stuck in preparation mode – what he calls "fixing to get ready."
Drawing from a memorable call he received while hosting a Saturday night radio show, Scott reveals how many of us waste valuable time overthinking, researching, and planning when we should be taking action. He challenges listeners to recognize their stalling and offers practical wisdom on breaking free from this pattern.
Whether you're building a business, pursuing a passion, or simply trying to progress toward a goal, this episode provides the motivation to stop preparing and start moving forward – even when the path ahead isn't perfectly clear.
Featured Story
During his days hosting a popular radio show called "70s Saturday Night," Scott received a call from a woman who said she was "fixing to get ready" to go out. When asked what that meant, she explained she was thinking about what to wear, whether it needed ironing, if her date would like it – essentially wasting time because she had time to waste. This chance conversation became a powerful metaphor for Scott, as it showed how people spend too much time thinking, pondering, and worrying instead of taking action toward their goals.
