Let’s be real. Most of you aren't "busy." You’re just distracted.
You’re letting a toddler drive a Ferrari.
I see people stressing over a 5% dip in their portfolio, but they’re ignoring the fact that they’re shorting their own life expectancy.
Here’s the cold hard truth about why you’re stuck, and how to take the wheel back. 👇
1. The "Monkey" is Ruining Your ROI 🐒
Tim Urban nailed it. Inside your brain, there’s a Rational Decision Maker (the CEO) and an Instant Gratification Monkey (the intern who just wants to doomscroll and eat snacks).
Usually, the "Panic Monster" (Deadlines) shows up to scare the Monkey away.
But for the big stuff—starting a business, getting fit, fixing relationships—there is no deadline.
So the Monster never comes. And the Monkey drives your life off a cliff.
2. The "Spectator" Trap 📉
This is what I call "Hidden Procrastination."
When there’s no deadline, you don’t panic. You just… float.
You become a Spectator in your own life. You watch your dreams depreciate to zero while you sit in the stands.
That low-level anxiety you feel? That’s your soul knowing you’re wasting your supply cap.
3. Stop "Preparing." Start Executing. 🛑
You think making a fancy To-Do list is working? Wrong. That’s just procrastination in a suit.
Stop trying to be perfect.
The Fix: The 5-Second Rule. Count 5-4-3-2-1 and MOVE.
Perfectionism is just fear dressed up as standards. Ship it broken, then fix it.
4. Kill the Fear of Failure 🔪
You’re scared you’re not good enough? Good. You probably aren't yet.
Action isn’t about proving you’re smart; it’s about finding out where you’re stupid so you can fix it.
Treat your life like a startup. Iterate. Fail fast. Pivot. Just don’t stand still.
5. Design Your Environment (God Mode) 🏰
You have the willpower of a gnat. Accept it.
If your phone is next to you, you will pick it up.
The Fix: Isolate yourself.
When I need to focus, I leave my phone in the other room. I create a "Zero Distraction" zone.
If you can’t control your environment, you can’t control your outcome.
💎 The Bottom Line: The Life Calendar
If you live to 90, you have about 4,680 weeks.
That’s it. That’s your total supply. No minting more.
Visualize those weeks. Most of you have already burned through a third of them.
Stop waiting for the "right time." The market doesn't wait, and neither does death.
Get up. Do the work. Take back the controller.
