Procrastination is sneaky—it shows up disguised as harmless distractions, but it's silently draining your time, money, and energy. In this episode, we dive deep with ChewHoong, a powerhouse in neuroscience-informed business growth, to break the chains of procrastination. We uncover why it happens, how to recognize when it's sabotaging your success, and the steps to move from stagnation to action. Whether you call it Penelope Procrastinator or just an old habit, it's time to shift gears and reclaim your power. Let’s turn hesitation into momentum and watch your business (and life) thrive.

Key Takeaways:

• Procrastination isn’t just about time management—it's linked to subconscious beliefs and energy misalignment.
• Shift your identity by saying, “I’m procrastinating for right now,” instead of labeling yourself as a procrastinator.
• Your intuition holds the key—learn to tap into it to understand what’s really causing your delays.
• Money is on the line—every delayed decision or action costs you real dollars in business.
• Extreme self-care and coaching can help break recurring procrastination cycles and uncover hidden blind spots.
