About this episode

Leona Burton discusses how overthinking leads to procrastination among women in business and encourages a shift from analysis to action.

In this episode of Mib Speaks, Leona Burton addresses the common issue of procrastination among women in business, particularly the tendency to overthink decisions. She emphasizes that overthinking stems from fear rather than a lack of ability and encourages listeners to shift their mindset from analysis to action. By setting deadlines, taking small steps, and embracing imperfection, women can build confidence and clarity in their decision-making processes. The conversation highlights the importance of choosing oneself and taking action to create meaningful change in life and business.
