Summary

If praise felt like progress, but your project never left the ground, this conversation is your reset. We unpack why announcing goals can hijack your motivation, how the “talk is cheap” trap shows up in everyday life, and what it takes to build an identity around action instead of applause. Using the classic fable of the mice and the cat, we examine the gap between clever plans and courageous execution—and why most people stop right where the real work begins. And, as a special FREE bonus, I ...

Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

0:09.7

I've got to tell you, my friends, in my opinion, one of the worst kinds of people.

0:15.4

Oh my gosh, is the person who talks and talks and talks and says they're going to do a lot of

0:20.2

things and there is

0:21.8

no follow through. In fact, I learned years ago that when we even share things that we're going

0:27.6

to do that sound cool, we get the dopamine hit from the immediate feedback. And so we're already

0:33.6

0:54.5

It is called the Mice in Council. And it is a good one. Share this one, my friends, with anyone who needs to take some action. The Mice summoned a council to decide how they might best devise means for

1:31.0

obtaining notice of the approach of their great enemy, the cat. Among the many plans devised,

1:38.0

the one that found most favour was the proposed to tie a bell to the neck of the cat, that the mice might be warned by the

1:47.1

sound of the tinkering and run away and hide themselves in their holes at his approach.

1:53.5

But when the mice further debated who among them should thus bell the cat, there was no one
