info_outline🎙️ The Hidden Cost of “Almost” | The Brian Hess Show
What’s happening, what’s happening?! Welcome back to The Brian Hess Show!
Today, we’re tackling a mindset that holds so many people back—being an “almost” person. Almost hit the goal. Almost closed the deal. Almost finished the project. Why do we stop just short of the finish line? And what is the true cost of not following through?
Joining me today is Vinnie Candelore, and we break down:
✅ Why almost finishing is just another way of quitting
✅ The hidden toll that unfinished projects take on your confidence and success
✅ The power of self-discipline and accountability in closing the gap
✅ How to shift from “almost” to “all in” and transform your results
✅ Why the difference between good and great is in the final 10%
We also dive into the mental habits, distractions, and self-sabotaging patterns that keep people stuck in the “almost” cycle—and how to break free once and for all.
🔥 CHALLENGE: Identify one thing you’ve been putting off or leaving unfinished. Commit to finishing it this week. Drop a comment and let me know what you’re tackling!
