292. Mental Masturbation - How Are People NOT Doing The Work

292. Mental Masturbation - How Are People NOT Doing The Work

In this episode, we dive into the trap of "mental masturbation" – you know, when we trick ourselves into feeling productive without actually taking action.

We chat about why we fall into this state, like being scared of failing (or even succeeding), and how crucial it is to take real action.

We share stories about getting too caught up in the nitty-gritty, like obsessing over spreadsheets or tweaking website buttons that don't matter.

We also talked about the importance of applying what we learn instead of just hoarding knowledge.

Plus, we got real about how fears can secretly stop us from moving forward. Our takeaway? It's all about doing stuff that truly grows our business and facing those fears head-on. Let's get out of our heads and into action!
