Corey

If you're ambitious but filled with self-doubt,

::

Corey

want to talk directly to you today.

::

Corey

And walk you through the nine most likely reasons.

::

Corey

You haven't achieved what you know you're capable of.

::

Corey

So I've worked with everyone from aspiring solopreneurs to CEOs to highly successful founders.

::

Corey

And every single one of them struggled with at least one of these.

::

Corey

Which caused what I call the action gap.

::

Corey

Which is the space between knowing and doing,

::

Corey

like, you know, what you want to do. And you might even know how to do it, yet you don't do it.

::

Corey

These are the most likely reasons why. Let's get started.

::

Corey

number one. You're waiting for permission that will never come. Because you've been conditioned to wait until someone else tells you you can do something.

::

Corey

But that doesn't exist in adulthood. Typically. It especially doesn't exist in entrepreneurship.

::

Corey

But like I hear from so many people, well, I really want to do this thing. I want to start my business or I want to pivot my business. I want to take this other job, whatever.

::

Corey

But then they don't. And typically that's because deep down we are waiting for somebody else, something outside of us, to give us permission to do the thing.

::

Corey

But nobody's going to do that. Like nobody is sitting around waiting and thinking, oh, I should hit that person up and tell them that they can do the thing they want to do. I should give them permission. It's never going to happen.

::

Corey

So you have all these ambitions, but you continue to just sit around and not take action.

::

Corey

Because you think you need permission first.

::

Corey

Versus learning how to give yourself permission to do the thing.

::

Corey

Really? The thing you want to do can genuinely help people.

::

Corey

And you are the person to do it, and you want to do it.

::

Corey

You probably don't need somebody else's permission.

::

Corey

But you don't need permission to put something valuable out to the world.

::

Corey

So what are you actually waiting for?

::

Corey

You're probably afraid, which is why you're waiting for permission.

::

Corey

Because you've been taught your whole life. Well, until an authority figure tells you you're allowed to do something, you can't do it until somebody else gives you permission to write that book, to start that business, to start the podcast, the YouTube channel, to take the other job, to sell your business, whatever

::

Corey

you think, you can't give yourself permission.

::

Corey

And you sit around and you wait. Any wait, any wait. And nothing happens because nobody is waiting to give you permission. The permission you've been looking for can only come from you.

::

Corey

Number two, you're letting impostor syndrome kick your ass.

::

Corey

Because you're comparing yourself to people you think are ahead of you. Writing in psychology we have these things called upward and downward social comparisons. And upward social comparison is basically where you compare yourself currently to somebody you perceive to be better than you, higher than you, more successful than you.

::

Corey

The issue with this is you constantly feel behind you, constantly feel like you're not worthy to do these other things because you're not as good as those people. They're smarter than you. They're more successful than you. They know more than you. Whatever. Who are you to attempt this thing? So you have the ambition,

::

Corey

but you feel like you don't belong in the room.

::

Corey

You feel like you're not good enough to enter that particular arena.

::

Corey

But here's the thing with imposter syndrome, one. Every single person I've ever met ever feels that tension, right? That tension of

::

Corey

I've never done this before, and I have this discomfort, this angst, this again, just this tension.

::

Corey

That naturally exists when we enter a new

::

Corey

area, when we develop a new skill, when we enter a new domain that never goes away.

::

Corey

Like I've, I've worked with some of the top people and even they say they have imposter syndrome. And the reason? And I was like, okay, but you're the reason other people have imposter syndrome. Like your existence, your success causes other people to have imposter syndrome. How do you have it?

::

Corey

And the reality is, the reason they have it is they're constantly pushing themselves.

::

Corey

They're constantly pushing their limits. They're constantly expanding their growth edges. They're constantly learning and doing new things.

::

Corey

But the thing is, like fundamentally, imposter syndrome is the belief that you don't belong in the room, whatever the room is.

::

Corey

So you think when you start to enter that room, you have that tension of like, oh, well, who am I to do this? I don't belong there. All these other people who are better than me are going to judge me.

::

Corey

I am unworthy to be in that room.

::

Corey

But the only way you actually grow is by entering that room. Like that room is actually growth. It's evolution. It is the next iteration of yourself, your identity, your business, your life.

::

Corey

And the only way you can actualize all that potential is by entering that room in the first place.

::

Corey

But now you sit around and you say, well, I have all this ambition. I want to enter this room, but I feel like I don't belong in that room.

::

Corey

Either you do or you don't. But regardless, you will not grow until you enter that room in the first place. And once you finally enter that room, what you will find every single time is that everybody else in that room kind of feels the same.

::

Corey

We all do upward social comparisons. We all kind of feel like to one degree or another, we don't belong in certain rooms because.

::

Corey

Those rooms are full of highly ambitious, disciplined, growth oriented people. Of course, you feel like maybe you don't deserve to be there. Of course you feel like maybe you're unworthy

::

Corey

and that can kind of cripple you, or it can galvanize you. It can inspire you to be worthy of being in that room,

::

Corey

to push yourself, to challenge yourself, to grow.

::

Corey

Because one, the people in that room, they're probably not going to judge you,

::

Corey

right? If they're good people, if it's a good room to be in, they're not going to judge you because they all know what it's like.

::

Corey

But the other thing is, just by the sheer proximity of being around other people like that will naturally push you and motivate you to be better.

::

Corey

All the growth you're looking for is in the room you're afraid to enter.

::

Corey

Number three, you're more concerned with what they might say

::

Corey

than what you want

::

Corey

because you don't trust yourself in your own judgment. But here's all the time. Well, what will they think? What will they say? What? Who is they? Who is this mythical? They. You keep talking about? Is it random coworkers that have no idea

::

Corey

the life you want to live?

::

Corey

Is it random trolls on the internet whose sole job is to find people doing cool things and putting themselves out there and try to tear them down?

::

Corey

Is it the random person from high school who used to be one of the cool kids, but you haven't been in high school for 20 years, but yet for some reason you still think, well, what might they think?

::

Corey

Versus saying, well, what do I want? I have these ambitions, I have these goals, and I know I'm capable of them.

::

Corey

But do I trust myself? Do I trust my own judgment

::

Corey

and what I want? I know this is the thing I want. I know I'm capable of doing this.

::

Corey

How can I focus more on myself then what all of these mythical Vaes and these other people may or may not say,

::

Corey

it doesn't matter what they think. It doesn't matter what they say.

::

Corey

It doesn't matter what they do.

::

Corey

Because they are not the ambitious people. They are not people whose lives you want. They're not people who inspire you. They're not people who are in your corner in the first place. They're not people who understand the path you're trying to be on. Why are you so concerned with their perceptions of you, rather than your perception of yourself, rather than trusting yourself and relying on your own judgment?

::

Corey

Learn to trust yourself more.

::

Corey

Learn to focus on yourself more.

::

Corey

Rather than constantly looking over and saying, well, what might they think?

::

Corey

Number four, you're letting sunk costs dictate your life,

::

Corey

mostly because you've lost perspective. And here's what I mean

::

Corey

one of the most common things I hear from people is

::

Corey

I really want to do this other thing, but I've spent so much of my life on this path, I feel like I've invested too much in this.

::

Corey

I have gone too far down this path to change, to pivot, to make, to to go into a new direction.

::

Corey

had this conversation like literally yesterday or the day before.

::

Corey

And it was a founder and they were like, hey, you know, I'm pushing 40. I really want to go this other direction, but I feel like I can't.

::

Corey

I feel like I have spent the last 15, 20 years building this over here.

::

Corey

And I just feel trapped.

::

Corey

I know I have the skills to build this other thing to to build this other business, to do this other ambitious thing.

::

Corey

But that represents a completely different path. I would be starting from scratch.

::

Corey

One of my mentors early on, he said, life is about perspective. Life is not about right or wrong. Life is about perspective. And I told this founder this and I was like, look, man, okay, let's say, you know, you're 40, you feel like you've spent too much of your life on this one path.

::

Corey

You feel like you're you're you're too late, right? I'm too old to change.

::

Corey

Average life expectancy is around 80 years old. Let's just simplify to 80. If you are on your deathbed at 80 years old, looking back at you right now at 40, you know, middle aged,

::

Corey

wood, 80 year old, you think you don't have enough time.

::

Corey

And he was like, oh, no. Like, I would think I had plenty of time. Exactly. You lost perspective. You're so focused on saying, well, a midlife, it's too late for me.

::

Corey

I can't change.

::

Corey

It would take five or even ten years to fully go in this other direction. Okay. And the fuck you going to do at the time anyway?

::

Corey

The time is going to pass. You don't die like the time is going to pass regardless. Where do you want to be after that time has passed?

::

Corey

So right now you're saying, well, I'm too far down this path. Yeah. When you're older, you'll look back and be like, damn, I had so much time that I still could have pivoted. I still could have taken that chance, taken that leap, bet on myself.

::

Corey

Any time I start to struggle, it's generally because I have lost perspective on what matters and what doesn't.

::

Corey

So finding questions like this to develop the right perspective that you need to move forward is critical.

::

Corey

And what he realized was, oh shit. Yeah, I've spent however many years on this one path, but I have developed so many skills that I can apply to this new one.

::

Corey

I wouldn't be starting from scratch. I would be starting with all the skills I've been accumulating over the last ten, 20, 30, 35 years.

::

Corey

That's what you'll find to.

::

Corey

It's not too late. Like like every day you wake up. As long as you wake up, you probably got time to figure it out, right? Like any day you wake up, this side of the dirt is a day to grow, to try to iterate, to learn.

::

Corey

Sunk cost is just a way to say I'm too afraid to make a change. It's a way to rationalize or to intellectualize. To hide behind. Logic of, well, I've spent 30 years doing this other thing, therefore I cannot change. You're afraid to change and you're trying to find excuse to justify not changing.

::

Corey

But if you are ambitious and you want to change,

::

Corey

nothing is actually stopping you from changing.

::

Corey

Number five, you're waiting until you feel ready, which will never happen.

::

Corey

This is the probably one of the most common things I see is you think you have to feel ready before you can take action, but the reality is you will not feel ready until you take action, right? Like first time I hit published an article, I didn't feel ready.

::

Corey

First time I did a podcast, I didn't feel ready. First time I launched a course. First time I got a paid client. First time I did whatever. I never felt ready. And the reason I didn't feel ready was because I had never done it before.

::

Corey

Right? If you look at like professional musicians or athletes or all these other like performance based disciplines,

::

Corey

the only reason they feel ready is because they've spent thousands of hours practicing their performance.

::

Corey

So when they step on stage or the court or the field or whatever,

::

Corey

they feel ready purely because they've taken action thousands of times before.

::

Corey

It's the same with anything else you do.

::

Corey

You straight up will not ever feel ready before you take action. Because you can't. Because you don't have proof,

::

Corey

right? Like, we we we like to operate off of proof. That's the issue. Like this a mind fuck. I'm like, well, until I have proof, until I feel ready, until I can justify or have evidence that I'm ready. I'm not gonna take action.

::

Corey

The only way you get that evidence is by taking action.

::

Corey

So you can wait until you feel ready. That's fine. You can if you want, but you will be waiting until your dying day. Because if you wait until you feel ready and to take action, you will not ever take action straight up. Just just won't.

::

Corey

Or you can say, okay, I am willing to feel the uncertainty of not feeling ready

::

Corey

and take action anyway, and take imperfect action.

::

Corey

Because once I take action, I start to build evidence.

::

Corey

I get feedback, I can iterate, I can better prepare for the next time. Then I will slowly start to feel ready because I took action.

::

Corey

Number six you keep getting in your own way,

::

Corey

right? You overthink. You overcomplicate. For a super common thing I hear is, well, I thrive in chaos. Adversity is the thing that fuels me because I love being the underdog and count it out. And when everything is just complete chaos and whatever, that's where I really, really do my best.

::

Corey

That's cool. Like if you thrive on chaos, awesome. A lot of people don't. The issue is we sort of inherently move toward areas where we feel like we thrive. And what that often translates to is you seek chaos, you overthink so that you can have a hard problem to solve. So if it's a simple problem, you will complicate it.

::

Corey

Just to feel like you did something because there's no pride in solving a simple problem. There's pride in solving a hard problem, but there's there's not pride in making a problem harder to solve.

::

Corey

So when things are straightforward or simple or obvious or even just calm,

::

Corey

you're like, no, no, no, it's got to be chaos. There's got to be adversity.

::

Corey

I either have to seek those or I self-sabotage and create them so that I have something to fight against so that I have chaos to thrive with them. That's the issue.

::

Corey

That's one way you get in your own way. Yes. You're ambitious. Yes, you're capable. But then you make everything so complicated, so chaotic, so overthought over whatever, just so you can feel that sense of, oh yes, this is the chaos I live in, I thrive, and I love.

::

Corey

But you can't really succeed if everything stays chaos, right? Chaos, like my definition is disorder.

::

Corey

Success requires some order.

::

Corey

And that's sort of the issue, especially if you're a smart person or if you see yourself as a smart person. You love being able to think your way out of things. You love things being complicated so you can swing your intelligence around and wrestle with it.

::

Corey

But then when you find a very straightforward problem that is easy to solve, you're like, no one either.

::

Corey

You say, I don't want to. That isn't the problem want to solve. It's two simple for you. Say, it can't be that simple. Let me overthink this shit to death until I figure out why it's so complicated. Oh, now it's complicated. Now I can find it. Why? Why get in your own way? Why make shit harder than it already is?

::

Corey

The good thing though, when you are in your own way, is you can get out of your own way because it's within your control. You can choose

::

Corey

to not go the way of chaos. You can choose to not overthink things.

::

Corey

So if you are getting in your own way, remember you can also get out of your own way.

::

Corey

Number seven, you allow toxic personal narratives to persist.

::

Corey

so common. Things I often hear from like founders, entrepreneurs, creators of things, these things like, well, I feel like I'm worthless.

::

Corey

I believe I'm not smart enough,

::

Corey

I can't be trusted. I don't trust myself. Therefore I cannot trust other people, which interferes with my ability to build a team.

::

Corey

Or my self-worth is tied to my sense of being useful. So when I don't feel like I'm useful to somebody, I feel worthless

::

Corey

for.

::

Corey

I have not earned rest. Rest is something. Rest is a reward. You have to earn

::

Corey

well. When you have all these just toxic beliefs, toxic personal narratives,

::

Corey

they constantly hold you back, right? It's like rest isn't a reward for peak performance.

::

Corey

It is a requirement for peak performance. Right? Like that's how you avoid burnout or you recover from burnout.

::

Corey

Or yeah, you can, you know, use self-hatred or like yourself and build incredible things and do incredible things, but you will be absolutely miserable inside. Like the number of people I've met who have incredible outward material success but are but internally are just masses of human beings.

::

Corey

percentage wise, super, super high.

::

Corey

And it's sort of like an extra mind fuck for them because they're like, well, so many people constantly tell me all you're so successful or you must be so happy. Oh, you must be so satisfied with everything you've done. And they put on a good face. Then he fine. But internally they're absolutely miserable.

::

Corey

They feel hollow. They feel worthless. They feel unworthy. Most of the time in their lives. Again, I'm talking very successful founders, very successful, like CEOs and C-suite and and, you know, again, people with 7 or 8 figures in revenue and subscribers and all these other things from the outside, you think they're super, super happy and successful internally. They're not.

::

Corey

And a big reason for that is just personal narratives. Okay? Because the the beliefs we carry with us, the stories we tell ourselves about who we are, what we're capable of, what we deserve, how the rest of the world is and exists, and how we interact with it. Those sort of influence everything else we do in our lives, right?

::

Corey

Like if inherently I believe I am a broken piece of shit, then that will color every choice I make, every interaction I have, every achievement I may or may not have

::

Corey

versus if I have the narrative of I am worthy of love, I am capable. I am a good person who is always seeking to grow. Likewise, that colors everything that I do.

::

Corey

Which do you think leads to a more satisfied, fulfilling, actually successful life?

::

Corey

The issue with these though, is a lot of us like you're not born with all these toxic personal narratives, right? You pick them up as you get older,

::

Corey

you might pick them up from, you know, the shitty parent or coworker or romantic partner or balls or whatever.

::

Corey

And initially this voice is external, right? Like it's somebody else saying, you are unworthy, you are unlovable. You are not smart enough.

::

Corey

But over time, this external voice seeps into our brain, and then we start repeating somebody else's words in our own voice.

::

Corey

But then over time, we forget that these aren't our words. They're someone else's words. We are repeating in our voice.

::

Corey

When that happens, you accept it as truth because, like, well, this is my voice, I am unworthy, I am a piece of shit. I am whatever. Therefore it must be true because this is in my voice.

::

Corey

But what you're actually doing is repeating the false words of somebody else until you recognize that you will continue to repeat them.

::

Corey

Once you recognize it, then you can start to rewire it.

::

Corey

You can start to say, okay, well, what personal narratives would empower me to move forward? Who

::

Corey

would help me succeed on my terms, would help me enjoy my day to day.

::

Corey

Cool. Let me identify those. Let me write them down. Let me start to practice them. It'll take time for sure, but it's super doable.

::

Corey

Number eight you spend every second of every day avoiding yourself.

::

Corey

one of my favorite quotes is from Blaise Pascal. And he says all of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.

::

Corey

We spend.

::

Corey

Every waking minute, often.

::

Corey

Wrapped up in some sort of distraction. Right? You're looking at your phone, you're checking notifications. You're refreshing fucking LinkedIn.

::

Corey

You're putting out this fire. You're building this thing over here. You're doing this. You're doing that. You're in a meeting.

::

Corey

You're never just kind of by yourself. Because when you're by yourself, all these insecurities can come up.

::

Corey

All these thoughts, the self-doubt.

::

Corey

These worries.

::

Corey

Or even just like the parts of yourself you don't really care for, right? Like I don't talk about like shadow self, shadow, shadow work shit. But for lack of a better term, the darker parts of you you're not really you don't really see is overly savory, and you'd rather just pretend they're not there.

::

Corey

So even when, like you want to figure it out, you're like, okay, let me find the most optimal journal prompts. Let me take this productivity course, let me read this self-help book over here. And sometimes those are good. Sometimes they're helpful.

::

Corey

But they're typically just a way for you to stay distracted. Right. Like productive procrastination kind of stuff

::

Corey

like, well, I feel like I'm making progress. I feel like I'm doing something,

::

Corey

but you're actually not

::

Corey

because you're still not sitting with yourself. You're still not sitting with your own thoughts like you will get infinitely more out of sitting in a room by yourself with a pen and paper and just writing out your thoughts.

::

Corey

It doesn't even matter what they are for now, just kind of brain dump or taking a walk without company, without listening to a podcast. You write like like don't multitask. Mono task.

::

Corey

You will get so much clarity by doing very simple. Simple to the point that most people discount them.

::

Corey

Exercises like that.

::

Corey

But again, going back to an earlier things like it's almost too simple, so you kind of discount it.

::

Corey

So the alternative is you spend all day jumping from distraction to distraction.

::

Corey

You get to the end of your day. And those few moments where you are laying down in bed and you put your phone away and it's just you and your thoughts.

::

Corey

That's the only time during the day, a lot of times you're actually by yourself.

::

Corey

And sometimes you don't like what thoughts come up.

::

Corey

So you try to rush to sleep.

::

Corey

The reality is.

::

Corey

The clarity you seek is in the stillness you avoid.

::

Corey

Number nine, you're trying to lone wolf. It,

::

Corey

right? But the reality is lone wolves die in the wild.

::

Corey

They're like, no, no, no. Like I'm super smart, I'm disciplined, I'm ambitious. I can figure all this out on my own.

::

Corey

One maybe you can,

::

Corey

but even if you can, how long is that going to take you doing it on your own

::

Corey

or two?

::

Corey

Maybe you can't.

::

Corey

Or maybe you can.

::

Corey

But it comes at the cost of always feeling alone, feeling isolated.

::

Corey

a common thing I hear from people is

::

Corey

the people around me don't understand what I'm doing. I feel like I have to keep all this inside. I feel like

::

Corey

I can't really share my doubts or my thought process, or a struggle I'm having right now, or I can't even really celebrate a win because the people around me aren't on the similar path and they just don't get it.

::

Corey

I don't know who to talk to.

::

Corey

It's like if you constantly feel alone or like entrepreneurship or like doing big, bold, ambitious shit

::

Corey

can be a lonely your path, right?

::

Corey

Like heavy is the head kind of shit.

::

Corey

But what you feel alone,

::

Corey

surrounded by people. Like when you feel alone in a crowd. It feels extra lonely, right? It's one thing to feel alone. Like when you're actually by yourself versus feeling alone. Like at a party, at a work event, hanging around for the holidays with like, friends and family. It's very different.

::

Corey

And you start to question, can I do this? Can I actually make this work? Am I cut out for this? Is this viable at all, or have I just made up this whole naive fantasy

::

Corey

about taking this ambitious, bold action?

::

Corey

So you doubt yourself and you start to play smaller and smaller and give up,

::

Corey

or you just never even take the chance in the first place.

::

Corey

That's why I hate the whole like, lone wolf thing, because it's like we we romanticize it like, oh, he's self-made or oh, she's a lone wolf. She is the lone wolves die in the wild.

::

Corey

Humans are not there like, designed, but humans have evolved into

::

Corey

very social creatures.

::

Corey

Right. This is why, like, back in the day. Like feeling like being ostracized, like from your tribe, being rejected by your social group represented death because humans suck in the wild, right?

::

Corey

Like humans aren't particularly strong. Teeth aren't sharp. Can't really climb very well. Can't swim very well. Sure. Shit can't fly.

::

Corey

So if you like, you need other people to survive. Like like you need a tribe. You need a group.

::

Corey

So back in the day, when you did something egregious, they'd be like, oh well, you are cast out. You are ostracized.

::

Corey

Good luck surviving, buddy. And you typically didn't.

::

Corey

Yet somehow in modern times, we romanticize that idea. It's just not not feasible, not accurate.

::

Corey

Nobody's self-made. Nobody's a lone wolf who, like, succeeds, right? Like, even got self-made people. They had a ton of help. A ton of support. They may not have had, like financial backers, but they had friends, or they had a mentor, or they had somebody else to support them along the way.

So the sooner you can stop romanticizing the whole lone wolf thing and find a group, a community, even just one person you have like a regular coffee date with or a phone call with.

::

Corey

The sooner you can actually start to take all these bold and vicious actions you have and you know you're capable of.

::

Corey

All of these are helpful. I have conversations around these sort of like nine reasons

::

Corey

almost every day. Again, whether it is people just starting out on their like entrepreneur or creator journey, people much further along,

::

Corey

and everything in between, these are the things just from a psychological perspective,

::

Corey

that are actually at the root of a lot of the things that hold us back.

::

Corey

and this is why I love working with creators. Like, to me, if you create something, you are a creator, right? Creator doesn't just mean like fucking vapid influencer or a content creator necessarily.

::

Corey

If you build something, if you create something, you're a creator. To me.

::

Corey

And this is why I created the Creator Alchemy Lab, which is the premier online community for ambitious creators taking bold action.

::

Corey

If it sounds like you, we'd love to have you

::

Corey

because you don't need more tactics and strategies or systems at this point, you've probably learned them all. You've probably used them all, and you still, if you've gotten this far, probably haven't gotten the results. You know you're capable of.

::

Corey

You need a community for the support and accountability

::

Corey

to bridge the action gap.

::

Corey

We talked about at the beginning.

::

Corey

To help you navigate the inner game of entrepreneurship, which includes self-doubt.

::

Corey

And just a group of people who can walk alongside you on your journey.

::

Corey

I was lucky enough to have this

::

Corey

early on in my journey.

::

Corey

It was very much like self-organized, very hard to find, which is why I created the Creator Alchemy Lab

::

Corey

so that others can have what I had to kind of piece together on my own, one person at a time.

::

Corey

So you can just have that right out the gate, like right now. Like literally if you join right now, you have access to a full community of people who know exactly what you're going through.

::

Corey

Just go to Creator alchemy.com/lab. I'll put a link below if you wanna find out more. We'd love to have you.

::

Corey

So like I said, I hope this was helpful.
