You’re not undisciplined. You’re not “bad at routines.” You’re a human with a nervous system...

You’re on a call with a big exec. You’re trying to sound confident. And then it hits that little voice that says, “They can see through me.” Your heart starts pounding. You talk too fast. You start filling the silence. It feels horrible. Here’s the secret: everyone feels...

We spend our whole lives trying to outthink emotions. We outwork them. Outrun them. Numb them with busyness and “productivity.” But the truth is, it’s not your calendar, your system, or your discipline that’s holding you back. It’s the one thing you refuse to feel. Fear....

If planning feels heavy, annoying, or like one more thing on your to-do list, this episode is for you.
Most sellers either:
• Don’t plan at all and spend the day putting out fires, or
• Try to follow someone else’s “perfect system” and assume they are the problem when it doesn’t work.
You don’t need a complicated notion board or a 2-hour CEO block.
You need a simple way to decide in advance what matters most, and keep it where you can actually see it.
In this episode, I walk you through a planning shift that takes 5-7 minutes and can easily give you two hours back in your day by cutting down decision fatigue, distractions, and low-value busywork.
🎯 In this episode, I riff on:
↠ Why planning is simply making decisions in advance (and why that matters)
↠ The biggest mistake sellers make: mixing planning and execution together
↠ How a 5-7 minute planning ritual can save you hours of wasted time
↠ Why your plan needs to live in your visual space (Post-its, tick charts, simple paper)
↠ Treating your future self like an employee you’re setting up for success
↠ A Monday “list-making day” for when you struggle to get going
↠ Daily planning: morning vs end-of-day and how to stop night-time rumination
↠ What actually happens to your quota when you “just start working” without a plan
↠ Different rhythms to test: daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly planning
↠ Using a 12 Week Year-style quarter to make decisions once and simply execute
↠ How to build a personal operating system that makes sense to you (not LinkedIn)
↠ Dropping the “shoulds” and letting your planning style match your actual brain
