You have the plan and the motivation, yet the work isn't getting done. Author Kam Knight joins the podcast to expose ”Internal Resistance”—the biological mechanism designed to keep you from growing. This is an autopsy of your ”busy work” and a guide to killing the resistance maintaining your $0 revenue streak.
Key Insights:
The Wanting Mechanism: Your brain generates infinite desires that distract from actual execution.
The Inner Critic: Action is often blocked by a subconscious ”panel of judges” that prioritizes safety over progress
Sneaky Tricks: Planning and perfectionism are sophisticated avoidance tactics—they provide the ”illusion of progress” without moving the needle.
The Fix: Ruthlessly contain your environment and use targeted self-talk to reprogram your self-image.
