You’ve Locked Yourself into a Mental Cage, Here is the Key to Escape the Madness EP429

This almost got me fired.

I was hired as a TV News Reporter for NBC before I even officially had my college diploma.

My tenacity, determination, and a false sense of confidence allowed me to beat out thousands of others for the job.

I thought my education and four TV internships prepared me for this job…but doing it in real life for real pay was a completely different level of pressure.

The deadlines were insane! I had to find interview subjects, do the on-camera interview, verify sources, write the script, edit the piece, and record promos for the story in a matter of a couple of hours…there was no time for perfection.

While I was barely putting together one story by the hard deadline, the other more experienced reporters had THREE stories done!

After 6 weeks My News Director (Boss) pulled me aside and said,” Carter, you’ve gotta start pulling your weight around here…you need to work faster.”

I was shell-shocked. The only way I could do that was by not caring if it was perfect, and just trusting my initial gut instinct.

Given my lack of professional journalism experience, I didn’t exactly have that confidence yet.

So I had to trust it anyway or get fired. No one noticed the difference between my highly perfectionistic news story, to the (what I felt like was sub-par) three “get-er-done” stories.

Your over-thinking and false belief that it needs to be perfect for it to pay off, have you bottlenecked in your business.

Unless you’re a surgeon, getting it done is always a solid business plan.

Waiting and obsessing over it to avoid any potential mistakes, ends up helping no one.

Often times the mistakes that do happen are the biggest blessings of all (even in the medical world).

What if the moment when everything in your life seems to be falling apart at once isn’t proof that you’re going backward, but part of what happens before your biggest expansion?

Wealth expert and creator of The Quantum Woman™ framework Shamina Taylor joins Tiffany for a deeply honest conversation about what a quantum leap actually looks like in real life, including the part nobody wants to talk about: the breakdown before the breakthrough.

Shamina takes us inside her own quantum crash-out, when the successful life she had built began crumbling and forced her to confront what achievement, logic and pushing harder could no longer fix.

Ep 816 Why Do You Procrastinate When You KNOW What to Do?

You know you need to post the content, talk about your offer, hire the help, make the investment, have the conversation, or finally start the thing you’ve been thinking about for months.

You’ve researched it. Planned it. Journaled about it. Asked ChatGPT 47 different ways. And you’re still not taking action.

This isn’t a motivation or discipline problem. And it definitely doesn’t mean you’re lazy.

Procrastination and self-sabotage can be automatic stress responses designed to protect you from what taking action might expose you to: failure, rejection, judgment, uncertainty, visibility, and even success.
