You think you're fully committed to your business. You're not. And that's why you're stuck.

In this brutally honest episode, we expose the commitment problem destroying most businesses the hidden half-commitment that keeps you playing small, pricing low, and staying stuck in the same place year after year.

This isn't about side hustles vs. full-time. This is about the mental escape routes that sabotage even full-time entrepreneurs. The backup plans that feel like safety but actually guarantee failure.

What You'll Discover:

The Commitment Illusion - Why you think you're all-in when you're actually hedging your bets (and how the market can tell)

The Backup Plan Paradox - How having a safety net actually makes you MORE likely to fail, not less

Where Half-Commitment Shows Up - In your pricing, marketing, boundaries, quality standards, and decision-making (the subtle signs you're playing defense)

The Burning Boats Moment - When successful founders stop testing and start committing (and why waiting for this moment costs you years)

The Two Real Choices - Commit fully or get out—why the middle ground is actually the riskiest place to be

This episode is for you if:

• You've been "building" your business for years but you're in the same place
• You keep your resume updated "just in case"
• You price low to avoid losing clients
• You're working hard but not seeing breakthrough results
• You tell yourself you're being "smart and cautious" but feel stuck
• Deep down, you know you're not fully committed

What makes this different:No sugarcoating. No "follow your passion" platitudes. Just the uncomfortable truth about why half-commitment kills businesses faster than bad ideas do. Based on a decade of watching which founders break through and which ones stay stuck.

The Core Truth:The moment you give yourself a backup plan, you almost guarantee you'll need it. Backup plans don't protect you—they prevent you from climbing high enough to need protection in the first place.

Real Talk:This episode might make you uncomfortable. It might challenge your "being smart and cautious" narrative. But if you're tired of playing small and ready to actually build something real, this is the conversation you need to hear.

Who This Helps:Entrepreneurs who are "trying" but not thriving. Founders working 60-hour weeks but not seeing results. Anyone who's been building the same business for 2-5 years without significant growth. People who know they're capable of more but can't figure out why they're stuck.
