The Adonis Effect

Why High Performers Stay Stuck in Life & Business


Listen Later

If you’re doing the work but still feel stuck, inconsistent, or overwhelmed, the issue usually isn’t effort - it’s mindset.

In this episode of The Adonis Effect, I’m joined by Brett Scott, a mindset coach who helps high performers break through internal limits and build real freedom, discipline, and momentum. We unpack why so many capable people stay stuck despite working hard, and how shifting mindset, identity, and standards can change everything.

Whether you’re a business owner, high performer, or someone looking to regain clarity and direction, this episode offers practical insights you can apply immediately.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why effort without the right mindset leads to burnout and inconsistency
  • The real difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset
  • Why discipline is one of the highest forms of self-love and self-respect
  • How identity and internal standards shape habits and behaviour
  • The hidden cost of tall poppy syndrome on ambition and confidence
  • Why capable people often hold themselves back to fit in
  • How to move through fear, discomfort, and internal resistance
