Want to know the number one thing that holds most men back from getting unstuck and experiencing the results they dream of in their career... and life?
It's not a lack of opportunities or having the right network.
It's not 'being passed over' at work.
It's not poor time management.
No, It's not a lack of skill or education or an impressive resume (or CV for our European friends).
And it's definitely not Covid.
It's indecision.
Wait, what?
Yep. That's right. It's the overthinking, analysis paralysis, always-in-my-head way of doing things that puts men into their rut and keeps them trapped there.
Indecision is the unrelenting opponent between your fears...and your FREEDOM.
It reinforces your fear of making the wrong decision. "...what if there is a better option somewhere else?" whispers the voice of indecision.
It reinforces your fear of failing. "...I'm not ready to take that next step yet" says the voice of procrastination.
It reinforces your fear of embarrassment. "...I'll be humiliated if it doesn't work out" says the voice of insecurity.
It reinforces about a dozen more excuses that leave you with a spinning head, an overwhelmed brain and an unfulfilled soul.
Like a lost swimmer treading water in the wide open ocean, you burn a lot of energy going absolutely nowhere, eventually feeling weaker and weaker as the hours and days go by.
But worse than that, indecision makes you constantly question yourself and your abilities. It extinguishes your passion and the fire in your belly to go after what you really want:
= That promotion or change in your career.
= Starting your own business.
= Taking control of your health and losing those "Covid 15lbs".
Heck, even taking the initiative to plan a date night with your wife zaps your energy. (Which is a bad way to start date night!)
EVERYTHING becomes such a heavy chore of thinking that any joy or enthusiasm you started with is all but dead by the time you finally decide what to do.
Do you relate to this, {{ subscriber.first_name }}?
If so, perhaps trying to resolve this doing it your way isn't working.
You don't need to do more research.
You don't need to read more books.
You don't need to "get ready to get ready" anymore.
You need to get out of your head and get an outside perspective.

Maybe we can help you too.
