Get Out of Your Own Way
Manage episode 522114999 series 2220917
Before you convince yourself you "aren't ready," ask this: Are you actually unprepared… or just standing in your own way?
Show Notes — "Get Out of Your Own Way"In today's episode, Baylor shares a lesson sparked by a blast of cold wind and a long overdue purchase: a bike trainer he knew he needed months ago.
Like many of us, he put it off… not because he didn't need it, but because he didn't want to face the one part he didn't understand.
From that moment comes a bigger truth: We delay the very things that move our lives forward—not because they're hard, but because we're afraid of the parts we don't know.
Through the story of finally buying the trainer, asking for help, and realizing how many excuses we create once things get "too fancy," Baylor breaks down the three barriers keeping us stuck:
We don't invest in what we know will help us.
We avoid anything that reveals what we don't know.
We wait on perfect conditions instead of taking the first step.
This episode challenges you to stop overthinking, stop waiting, and stop discounting your potential simply because the next step isn't comfortable.
What You'll LearnWhy we delay the things we know we need to do
How adversity can be the wake-up call we shouldn't have needed
The difference between "expensive" and "an investment that moves you forward"
Why asking for help is a sign of strength—not incompetence
How pride prevents progress (and how to fix that)
Why fancy tools and perfect conditions actually slow you down
How to build momentum by taking messy first steps
A simple mindset shift to stop creating excuses and start creating progress
"Most of what holds you back isn't weakness—it's waiting for perfect. Forget fancy. Start moving."
