Procrastination: You Can’t Build on Pause — Push Play on Your Purpose, S2 E5
Welcome to Season 2, Episode 5 of The Mind Your Business Mentor Podcast — our very first VIDEO episode! In this powerful and personal session, we’re confronting a struggle that nearly every solopreneur experiences: procrastination. But not from the usual "you're just lazy" angle. We’re digging deeper.
This episode unpacks why we really procrastinate and what it looks like to move forward with alignment, clarity, and purpose. Spoiler alert: It has a lot more to do with being out of sync with yourself than a lack of discipline.
From Pause to Purpose
I started this podcast with big goals and a fresh approach. I launched an AI-powered podcast with every intention of standing out and maximizing my content. But after four episodes, everything stopped. Not because I didn’t care—but because I was waiting: for engagement, for feedback, for permission.
Then I had a conversation with my mentor David Shands. He didn’t know any of this, but he looked me dead in the face and said: “You need to do video.”
That was my confirmation. That was my wake-up call.
Why We Procrastinate
Procrastination isn't just about time. It's often:
Misalignment
Lack of clarity
Fear (of failure, success, or judgment)
Perfectionism
Constant comparison
Lack of structure
Not Trusting Yourself
The 5D Philosophy — A Real-World Look
Decide: You chose to be an entrepreneur
Discover: You found a business model that looked promising
Develop: You started building, learning, and trying to make it work
Deliver: But this is where most people get stuck. They don’t finish what they start.
Dominate: Mastering your goals, this can not happen until you execute on all of the above
The Flight Analogy
Imagine boarding a plane to New York and the pilot keeps rolling halfway down the runway… then stopping. You’d never take off.That’s how most people run their businesses.Even when you do take off, flights never move in a straight line. Pilots constantly course correct. You will too. That’s the beauty of alignment over perfection.
The Comparison Trap + The Permission You Already Took
Stop comparing your inconsistency to someone else’s years of discipline. You became an entrepreneur so you could stop asking for permission. So why are you still waiting?You already took control. Now act like it.
Trust Yourself
Everyone says you need to be known, liked, and trusted by others. But do YOU know, like, and trust yourself? That’s where confidence begins. When you trust yourself, you stop waiting for someone else to tell you it’s your time.
Final Word
You can’t build on pause. You were not designed to stay stuck. You were built to move, to build, and to deliver. This episode is your invitation to do just that.
So if you needed a sign? This is it.
