In this episode, I share some tough love and also address a common issue many of us face: feeling stuck due to consuming too much information, trying to do too much, or not being honest with ourselves. Drawing inspiration from a listener's candid email, I offer practical advice on identifying barriers, amplifying strengths, and making tangible progress. If you're struggling to start a project or move forward with your goals, this episode is for you. Learn how to focus on what truly matters, commit to actionable steps, and find the accountability you need to succeed. And above all, this episode will help you find the confidence in yourself that is likely keeping you from making progress right now.

Takeaways:
Identify the true barriers that are holding you back, such as a perceived lack of resources, consuming too much free content without taking action, having too many ideas and feeling overwhelmed, and a lack of confidence.
Create an action plan by identifying one area of focus, sacrificing and committing to the effort, scheduling dedicated time, and finding accountability.
Believe in yourself and follow through on your commitments to build confidence and make progress towards your goals.
