Your Overthinking Habit Is Costing You More Than Money | Ep 56
If you’ve ever found yourself lying awake at 2am, replaying the same business decisions over and over, this episode is for you. Today on The Simplified CEO Podcast, I’m breaking down why overthinking is the silent killer of small business growth - and how it’s stopping you from making the leap from five to six figures.
I’ve seen it time and time again with my clients (and I’ve lived it myself):
Hours lost in competitor research instead of launching the thing
Perfectly good offers never seeing the light of day because they weren’t “ready”
Endless spreadsheets, YouTube reviews, and strategy books that lead to more confusion, not clarity
Here’s the uncomfortable truth. Overthinking isn’t protecting you from failure; it’s guaranteeing it.
In this episode, I’m sharing:
The science of what happens in your brain when you overthink (and why it shuts down your creativity)
Real stories from entrepreneurs who stayed stuck in planning mode while opportunities slipped away
The exact 4-step decision-making framework I use with my clients to cut through analysis paralysis and start moving toward six figures
The mindset shift that separates CEOs who scale fast from those who stay stuck at five figures
This episode will help you stop spiraling in indecision and finally take confident, fast action in your business because action creates clarity, not the other way around.
If you’ve been delaying that new service launch, second-guessing your pricing, or waiting for “perfect” before you move, it’s time to break the cycle. Tune in now and learn how to make decisions like a real CEO so you can scale with more speed, confidence, and ease.
And if this resonates with you, share it on Instagram and tag me @cs_bartlett so I can cheer you on!
