Breaking Through Self-Sabotage, Excuses, and Inconsistency to Finally See Results

Introduction

Ever felt like you have all the information, yet you’re still not implementing? You’re not alone. I used to think more knowledge was the answer—I’d read every book, take every course, listen to every podcast, and yet… nothing changed. I stayed stuck in a cycle of inconsistency, self-doubt, and frustration. The harder I tried to find the “perfect” solution, the worse it got.

This isn’t about knowing what to do—it’s about actually doing it. Today, we’re breaking down exactly how to close the gap between knowing and doing so you can stop spinning your wheels and start seeing real results.

Which bank are you building? Are you investing in your excuses, or in your action? Let’s talk about how to make deposits into the right account.

Segment 1: The Mindset Shift You MUST Make

Your struggle isn’t about discipline or motivation—it’s about how you think.

There’s a story about a gambling man who had two dogs he raced. With startling accuracy, he could always predict which dog would win. When he retired, someone asked him how he did it.

• Mind the Gap – The frustration isn’t from not knowing what to do; it’s from the gap between what you know and what you do. Every small action closes the gap.
• Why We Keep Delaying Change:
  • We say, "I’ll start tomorrow," but we’d never say that about work.
  • We treat our health like an optional hobby instead of a priority.
• Reframing Motivation:
  • Think about Deal or No Deal. Are you taking a bad deal because it’s easy?
  • Sin and Archery— missing the bullseye - the best part of this whole episode

Action Step for Listeners:

• Identify one “I’ll start tomorrow” excuse you frequently use.
• SEE THE DEAL-MAKING. Don’t take the bad deal. Make this a practice. Do the reps to get good at spotting and rejecting excuses.

Segment 2: STOP TRYING TO SCORE ON EVERY PLAY

Success isn’t a Hail Mary pass—it’s a game of inches.

Imagine if an athlete walked off the field every time they didn’t score. Ridiculous, right? But we do this in our own lives. We think if we can’t be perfect, it’s not worth trying.

But success isn’t about
