"Doing the Thing." It's all about the magic that happens when we stop just planning and start taking action to create the life we dream of.

Have you ever caught yourself spending more time researching running shoes than actually running? Or planning your work so meticulously that you forget to get down to business? Well, you're not alone! In this episode, we explore why it's so easy to get caught up in the preparation and miss out on the actual doing.

I'll share insights from my experiences with thousands of business owners and why a staggering 65% of businesses struggle in their first 10 years. Spoiler alert: It's all about the mindset!

But don't worry, I won't leave you hanging with just the problems. We'll talk about how to differentiate between being busy and being productive, and I'll give you some real talk on how to focus on what really moves the needle in your life.

And for those of you looking to level up even more, check out my book "Level Up" - it's your guide to getting focused, stopping procrastination, and upgrading your life.
