#140 Stop Getting Sold to and Do This Instead

In this episode, I talk about the common feeling of “everyone’s trying to sell me something” and how to avoid wasting time or money on the wrong solutions. I share my own experiences of jumping into offers too quickly, thinking they were signs, only to regret it later. The key lesson is that if I’m actively solving my own problems, I can spot whether an opportunity truly supports my goals or is just a distraction. I explain the Accountability Code, which starts with reflection, humility, and planning, so I can decide what fits my long-term vision before committing.

I also walk through the second half of the Accountability Code: implementing, commitment, and feedback. I give examples from my business and personal life, like hiring help for projects or finding a cleaning service, to show how important it is to protect boundaries, stay focused, and avoid getting sidetracked by offers that don’t match my needs. By sticking to this process, I make better decisions, keep momentum, and enjoy the work without being pulled in the wrong direction.

Key Topics Covered:

How jumping into offers too quickly can lead to regret
Why actively solving my own problems changes how I see opportunities
The first step of the Accountability Code: reflection on goals, values, and possible solutions
The second step: humility, acknowledging gaps in my understanding
The third step: planning, how a solution fits into my long-term goals
The risk of hiring others to do what I should be learning myself
The importance of commitment to my original goals and boundaries
How distractions can come disguised as “perfect” opportunities
The last step of the Accountability Code: using feedback to improve decisions
Why staying focused makes work easier, more enjoyable, and more successful
