Why do entrepreneurs stall even when the path is clear? Why is it that you know Why do entrepreneurs stall even when the path is clear? Why is it that you want to take action you know what to do you know how to do it and you genuinely want the result yet something stops you? In this episode of At the End of the Day, Chris Raimo sits down with Kam Knight to answer one of the most common and frustrating questions in entrepreneurship and personal growth.

Kam introduces and breaks down a concept he developed called Internal Resistance, the hidden force that explains why motivation knowledge and desire are often not enough. This conversation reframes procrastination self sabotage and overwhelm not as flaws but as signals pointing to something deeper.

Internal Resistance explains the gap between intention and execution. It is not laziness lack of discipline or weak motivation. It is unconscious pushback that shows up even when conscious desire is strong. Kam explains that both our wants and our resistance operate at the same time and until we understand both progress will always feel inconsistent.

Key Topics

• Why motivation and knowledge are not enough
• The role of unconscious resistance in entrepreneurship
• How endless wanting creates distraction and burnout
• Why resistance is not laziness
• How resistance disguises itself as logic and planning
• Why focus beats chasing multiple opportunities

The Three Parts of Internal Resistance

• Wants: The mind constantly creates new goals without lasting satisfaction
• Resistance: Unconscious pushback that blocks action even when goals matter
• Tricks of Resistance: Planning perfectionism and rejecting advice

Key Takeaways

• Simplicity creates momentum
• One focused goal beats many unfinished ones
• Real change happens at the unconscious level
