In this video, I address the common issue of overthinking in entrepreneurship and its detrimental impact on time and money.
Discussing how excessive control and perfectionism can make business operations feel like moving through quicksand, I explain that overthinking acts as a profit and time leak.
Rather than attempting to think better, the key to overcoming overthinking lies in addressing the emotional roots—primarily rooted in fear. I liken overthinking to the Titanic problem, emphasizing the unseen emotional iceberg that drives the visible symptoms like perfectionism and analysis paralysis.
By growing your emotional intelligence (EQ) to match your intellectual intelligence (IQ), you can reduce stress and enhance decision-making. Ultimately, this shift will lead to peaceful, joyous profits.
