The Real Reason You Can’t Start

Perfectionism doesn’t show up when you’re almost done. It shows up before you even start.If you’re stuck tweaking, planning, overthinking, or waiting until things feel “right,” this episode explains exactly why and how to move forward without forcing motivation or burning yourself out.Most people think perfectionism is about caring too much. In reality, it’s about trying to decide what you *should* do instead of asking what you "can" do.Creators, founders, artists, and high performers get stuck when vision turns into "should." That’s when action dies.In this episode, I break down:• Why perfectionism blocks action before execution even begins  • The difference between ideation and experimentation  • Why great musicians, artists, and founders don’t chase perfect  • How to move from suffering-through to enjoying-the-process  • Why mastery starts when you stop forcing outcomes  Follow me on my socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshterryplaysFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/joshterryplays/X: https://x.com/joshterryplaysTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@UCOLdtkK1XqV6ikuHUqfetnQTo work with Josh Terry go to https://apply.joshterryplays.com

Hyperreal Confidence

Confidence doesn’t come from motivation or self-talk.It comes from being realistic about who you are and where you’re going.

Why Doing MORE Is Making You Weaker

High performers don’t struggle with laziness, they struggle with overtraining. In business, content creation, leadership, or performance, it’s almost impossible to spot when you’ve crossed from productive discomfort into cognitive damage. This episode breaks down how elite performers accidentally sabotage their results by pushing too hard, and why doing less (strategically) leads to bigger outcomes. If your default is “try harder,” this will completely reframe your approach.Follow me on my socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshterryplaysFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/joshterryplays/X: https://x.com/joshterryplaysTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@UCOLdtkK1XqV6ikuHUqfetnQTo work with Josh Terry go to https://apply.joshterryplays.com

The Mindset Shift That Unlocks Growth

Every stage of growth demands stronger boundaries and every boundary you set gets tested by the success it creates.Dating → stop being needy → attention increases → boundaries get tested.Business → niche down → demand rises → you must say no.Nations → freedom → prosperity → new moral debates.Boundaries aren’t walls. They’re commitments to who you’re becoming.Follow me on my socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshterryplaysFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/joshterryplays/X: https://x.com/joshterryplaysTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@UCOLdtkK1XqV6ikuHUqfetnQTo work with Josh Terry go to https://apply.joshterryplays.com
