We all love a good idea, don’t we?
A new project. A shiny platform. A “this could be the one” moment.
But the truth we don’t want to hear is that all that excitement is often what’s keeping us stuck.
This episode dives into the uncomfortable but life-changing truth about focus. Why it’s the absolute key to success, and why most of us sabotage it without even realising.
If you’ve ever found yourself juggling too many ideas, drowning in distractions, or constantly “starting” but never quite finishing… this one’s for you.
