EP 430 The "Almost There" Trap

April 8, 2025 · 29 min

Show notes

In this episode of The Purpose Show, we're talking about something I see all the time, the almost there trap. That moment when you're so close to the breakthrough, but instead of pushing through, you self-sabotage. Sound familiar?

I'm breaking down the psychology behind why we do this and how to reframe your mindset from constantly starting over to actually finishing what you started. We'll talk about consistency, discomfort, and the truth about what it really takes to grow.

If you've ever felt stuck in the cycle of getting close and then backing off, this episode is your reminder that you're closer than you think. Let's break the pattern and keep going.
