About this episode

Polly Lavarello discusses how identity can hinder business progress and the importance of taking action.

In this episode, I’m talking about the sneaky ways our identity can quietly keep our business stuck, even when we know exactly what would move the needle. From funnels to speaking gigs to ads, the thing we resist is often the thing that could create the most freedom. I also share a client conversation that properly blew my mind, why “I’ll do it when…” is usually a very expensive sentence, and why one small leveraged move this week can matter far more than another lap around the same old to-do list. Highlights: (02:04) - Why mindset and strategy really do need each other (04:10) - The two types of business owners Polly sees again and again (06:12) - When “permission to play” changes everything (08:36) - The danger of waiting until you feel ready (11:45) - Choosing the one leveraged move that could shift your year (15:38) - Why messy action beats staying safely stuck To find out more: Website Instagram (FREE) THE CUSHY WORK WEEK PLAYBOOK This podcast is proudly produced by Wavemakers Audio
