Episode #193
Name the beast—complacency—and identify its roots (fear, surrounding mediocrity, short-term comfort, or not knowing the first step) to make it manageable.
Treat your goals with the same urgency you give true emergencies and commit to one concrete next action now.
Leverage people who know the 'combination'—mentors and proven resources—to shortcut the path and build momentum through small, scary steps.
And here it is in one word, complacency.
I gave up the short-term comfort for the long-term contentment.
You can turn this podcast off and go back to complacency, or you can turn this podcast off and do something about it.
How to overcome complacency (22:09)
Over and over again, I hear it. I get on the phone with my prospects and clients and they tell me what’s holding them back. They tell me they know there’s more potential in them. They tell me they know they’re leaving too much on the table. They tell me the time is running out and there’s no time left to underperform. They tell me they want to commit. They want to make a change. They want to slay the beast.
What is the beast? The beast that is stealing your success. Stealing your potential. Robbing you of the life you know you can live?
Complacency.
Complacency comes from being comfortable.
Complacency comes from being surrounded by mediocrity.
Complacency comes from fear.
Today, we discuss how to crush complacency.
