Summary
If you struggle with perfectionism, fear of success, or feeling like you have a "tyrant boss" inside your head, this breakdown reveals exactly how to shift that dynamic. In this episode, Joe and Brett analyze a rapid coaching session with a man who is a high-performer for others but frozen when it comes to his own business. They uncover how "stories" about perfectionism keep us stuck, and why trying to be a "good provider" can actually stop you from doing the work. As the man works with Joe to peel back the layers of what’s causing his procrastination, Brett and Joe dive deeper into the topic of procrastination, dissecting the root causes that cause us to freeze when we wish to act and paths forward for reframing both how to approach and to view procrastination. They discuss: - The idea of procrastinator as an identity - Self-judgement, perfectionism, and shame - The emotional roots of procrastination - How to dissolve stuckness - Practical ways to approach procrastination
