📋 Show Notes: 💎 Key Takeaways:

1. Mindset Mistakes Matter:
   It’s often internal habits—not external challenges—that hold you back. Self-doubt, fear, and perfectionism are productivity killers.

2. Fear of Failure (and Success) Paralyzes:
   Whether it’s fear of being judged, making the wrong move, or being overwhelmed by success, fear must be faced with faith.

3. Busy Work ≠ Progress:
   Rearranging your desk or tweaking your website doesn’t replace making bold, income-generating moves—like making that call or launching that offer.

4. Monetize Before You Build:
   Stop creating “expert systems” in a vacuum. Test your idea. Sell first, then build what your audience actually wants.

5. Accountability Accelerates Growth:
   Coaching only works when you take action. Don’t hide behind excuses about your niche or audience—God has already equipped you.
