The Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show with Ben Brown

Why Delusional Optimism is Keeping you Stuck


Listen Later

Life’s not slowing down for you to catch up. You either adapt or get left behind.

The chaos isn’t going anywhere. And the version of you that keeps saying ‘once things settle, I’ll start’ is what I call delusional optimism. The belief that things will magically get better without you actually changing. I’ve been there. My clients have been there. And it’s the single biggest killer of progress I see every day.

In this episode, I break down why comfort is the enemy, how chaos is actually the training ground for your next level, and the simple four-step process we use in our Prime Fit Coaching program to shift from wishful thinking to deliberate execution.

Tune in if you’re done negotiating with your excuses. It’s time to step up, take ownership, and get your edge back.
