Why Playing Small Is the Most Expensive Mistake You’ll Ever Make
Manage episode 516663850 series 3262144
Have you ever found yourself pulling back when things feel uncertain — thinking, “Maybe I should wait until things pick up”? In this episode, I’m diving into a truth that every entrepreneur needs to hear: playing small doesn’t protect you — it costs you. It costs you opportunities, clarity, and the momentum that actually moves your business forward.
If this year has felt slower, harder, or like your confidence has dipped, this one’s for you. I’ll show you why this exact season might be your most powerful setup yet — and how betting on yourself is the smartest investment you can make.
✨ Things I Cover:
- The real cost of inaction versus the return on investing in yourself
- Four key areas of ROI when you lean in: Perspective, Systems, Community, and Speed
- Why waiting for “someday” might be the most expensive decision in your business
- How top producers stay ahead — even in uncertain markets
- The mindset shift that turns slow seasons into seasons of setup
