In this transformative episode of The Year of Profit, Joe Shortridge dives deep into a powerful concept that affects nearly every listener: The Someday Drawer. It's that place—physical or mental—where we store our dreams, goals, ideas, and intentions we swear we'll get to "someday." But as Joe explains, "someday" is not a date on the calendar. It's a delay tactic that keeps you stuck, overwhelmed, and disconnected from your true potential.
This episode uncovers why we hide our dreams away and how to finally break free from the "someday mindset." Joe explores the emotional and psychological roots behind procrastination, fear of failure, and the fantasy of the "future self" who somehow has more time, energy, and confidence than we do right now. Through relatable stories, real-life examples, and honest reflection, Joe reveals how The Someday Drawer quietly drains your confidence, steals your momentum, and convinces you that waiting is safer than starting.
Listeners will learn a clear, practical system for cleaning out The Someday Drawer, sorting what still matters, releasing what no longer fits your life, and choosing one meaningful project to begin today. Joe outlines a simple but powerful strategy called micro-starts, small actions that lower resistance and help you build momentum without feeling overwhelmed. Whether your dream is to start a business, learn a skill, improve your health, fix your finances, or repair a relationship, Joe shows you how small steps create big change.
A centerpiece of this episode is the introduction of The Today List, a three-question daily tool that keeps you focused, grounded, and moving forward. Unlike traditional to-do lists that pile on pressure, The Today List keeps your energy aligned with progress, clarity, and gratitude.
Listeners will walk away feeling inspired, empowered, and ready to take action—not someday, but today. This is a must-listen for anyone who feels stuck, overloaded with ideas, or tired of waiting for the "right time" to begin the life they want.
If you're ready to open that drawer, dust off your dormant dreams, and reclaim the life that's been waiting for you, this episode will give you the motivation and tools to get started—one small step at a time.
Tune in, share with someone who needs it, and start taking your first step toward a more intentional, more powerful, and more profitable life.
