What’s Really Stopping You? - The Fear Beneath the Excuses and Why It’s Time to Move Anyway
Today invite yourself to look past the surface-level excuses we all use—“I don’t have the time,” “It’s too expensive,” “I’m not ready”—and explore what’s really stopping you from chasing the life you want.
Through a story about a dream job at Starbucks and a conversation with a friend stuck in indecision, Donny uncovers a universal truth: the real barrier is rarely logistics—it’s fear. Fear of not being good enough. Fear of failing. Fear of stepping into something unfamiliar.
But what if you didn’t wait for permission? What if you started creating what you want now?
This episode will help you:
- Recognize when fear is disguised as a “valid reason”
- See your excuses for what they are: stories you can rewrite
- Remember that if you want it, you’re meant to do it
Reflect on this:
– What story are you telling yourself about why you can’t start?
– What if the first step is easier than you think?
– What will it cost you to keep waiting?
