About this listen

In this episode:

Are you stuck in an endless cycle of planning without taking action? In this episode of The Break Your Bullshit Box Podcast, we dive into the reason even the best-laid plans fail and how we use strategy as a hiding place. We discuss the second part of my Break Your Bullshit Box framework: Breaking Your Bullshit Box. In other words, understanding the gremlins and limiting beliefs that sabotage our follow-through. If you're tired of buying planners, creating perfect calendars, and never executing, this episode will help you break free from the strategy trap and start taking real action

Key topics covered:

  • The reason planning feels productive but often leads nowhere
  • The strategy trap: How we hide in planning to avoid action
  • Understanding the "gremlins" - the voices that justify our results
  • The difference between human behavior problems and logical solutions
  • The importance of intention behind every commitment
  • How to identify what's really holding you back from following through

Key Takeaways:

  1. Success doesn't come from the plan, it comes from the honesty underneath the plan about why it's failed in the past
  2. Clarity only comes through action, not through endless analysis and planning
  3. We can't solve human problems with logical strategic plans, we need to address the underlying beliefs and behaviors
  4. Planning can be a form of avoidance, making us feel productive without actually accomplishing anything
  5. Understanding your intention behind each commitment is crucial to breaking patterns
