Are you secretly using your grit to stay stuck in your business? In Season 4 Episode 4 of the Potent Productivity Podcast, host Robert Cabeca and Business Growth Accelerator Sarah J. Pitts dive into the hidden dark side of resilience and why endless persistence might be dragging you down a 40-hour tech rabbit hole.

Discover how your inner cheerleader (Kick-Ass Katie) can be manipulated by your inner doubter (Wreck-It Rose) to keep you trapped in "procrastivity" and overthinking. Sarah shares practical tools to balance optimism with real-world data, the "Pause & Reality-Check" rule for overwhelmed CEOs, and why "perfect" is the absolute enemy of "finished" in business growth.
