    067 - Solo Ep: Why Can't We Get Ourselves Do What We Want To Do?

    This video explores why we procrastinate and how our emotional states influence our decision-making. I look at a study on decision-making during sexual arousal and another on procrastination, deadlines, and performance to help determine why we make the decisions that we do. Then I give some practical tips to overcome procrastination through pre-commitment and involving others in setting deadlines.

Mindset + Growth = Limitless

I’ve been a long time follower of Nick from several social media channels so I was excited to listen to his pod.

The first episode with Ryan was great. Perfect combination of understanding what it takes to take ownership of your life and how both Nick and Ryan faced pressures to conform to what society expects you to do. Go to college -> Get an MBA -> Get a Corporate Job -> Climb the Corporate ladder. All things that are great for some people…

However, in this podcast it shows that when you get out of your own way your life’s possibilities are LIMITLESS!!!
