    Ep 370: Breaking Autopilot: Why We All Need An External Perspective

    Episode Summary: Ever arrive at your destination with no memory of the drive? That's autopilot and it's not just happening in your car. It's running your business decisions, your communication patterns, and the choices you make (or avoid) every single day. In this episode, Amber Fuhriman breaks down why smart, capable entrepreneurs stay stuck. It's not simply because they lack information. It's because they're operating on invisible patterns they can't see from inside their own heads. In This Episode, You'll Discover: Why having access to information isn't enough to create changeThe difference between surface-level solutions (another sales script) and addressing the real problem (why you're not using the 17 you already have)How business pressure exposes the invisible structures underneath your behaviorWhy change happens in an instant, but deciding to change takes timeThe real reason coaching works: it addresses the human running the business, not just the processes Key Takeaway: You don't need more information. You need more honesty about how you're actually operating and updated strategies in how to handle what you learn. Both of these require an external perspective to see what you can't see on your own. Notable Quotes: "Change doesn't take time. Change happens in an instant, but it's deciding to change that takes time." - Amber Fuhriman "You already have access to the information. You already know so much more than you are implementing. If information were enough alone, you would've created results." - Amber Fuhriman Connect with Amber: Ready to identify the autopilot patterns holding you back?
