90% of people experience some form of procrastination

In fact, the average person spends 218 minutes procrastinating every single day (over 3.5 hours).

Which means that, every year, you're wasting 55 days by putting off tasks you really need to do 😱

While there are a lot of reasons people procrastinate (we'll cover those later), they often boil down to this…

Short-term avoidance seems easier than accepting that you might not get it "right" the first (or even 10th) time.

The false idea of "perfectionism" combined with a rampant fear of failure paralyzes so many of us in the entrepreneurial space.

And despite what you might hear…

Growth IS challenging every step of the way, and no, it actually doesn't get easier (sorry, not sorry).

Because every time you overcome a challenge, one (or 5) new ones pop up (ever heard the saying, 'new level, new devil?')

And that's why resources like our regular OBO Digest exist.
