Too Creative for My Own Good: How I Beat Shiny Object Syndrome
Sep 10, 2025 • 00:16:53
In this Wisdom Wednesday, I share how “being creative” quietly kept me stuck.
I was juggling real estate, teaching social media classes, working a restaurant job, and running this podcast—four lanes, zero traction.
Everyone said, “You’re doing great for your age,” but my bank account told a different story.
In this episode, I break down why too many ideas = no progress, how comparing yourself to average creates a false sense of accomplishment, and why dabbling makes it take longer to learn if something actually works.
Then I give you the fix that changed everything for me: FOCUS = Follow One Course Until Success.
You’ll learn:
- How I picked one lane and set a 12-month commitment.
- My “Yes… and not right now” rule to kill distractions.
- Why focus gives you more energy, clearer feedback, and a stronger personal brand.
- A simple accountability plan you can start today.
If you’re serious about building wealth and momentum in your 20s, pick one path and go all in.
