Summary
You’re doing a lot. The coaching package has been rewritten. The niche has been reconsidered. The email is still sitting in draft. This isn’t a strategy problem or a productivity problem. This is your inner critic - and it’s probably been running your business quietly for a while. This episode names it, explains why it is so hard to spot, and gives you a simple practical tool to work with it.
