Summary
Most entrepreneurs don't fail because they lack strategy.
They fail because they cannot regulate themselves long enough for strategy to work.
They pivot too fast.
They react too fast.
They spiral too fast.
And the truth is…
Business does not reward intensity.
It rewards steadiness.
In the last episode I talked about the nervous system of a CEO and why regulation is the price of admission for leadership.
Today I want to go deeper into what that actually looks like in practice.
Because resilience and patience are not personality traits.
They are trained behaviors.
And if you can learn to build them, you dramatically increase your odds of building a business that actually lasts.

| 0:00.0 | One of the patterns that I see often in entrepreneurs, especially online fitness coaches, |
| 0:04.0 | is what I call emotional pivoting, right? Something doesn't work for a few weeks. They change it. They change their script. They change their offer. They change their messaging. They change the platform. They change their niche just because it wasn't working. They changed their whole strategy. And then they repeat the cycle over and over and over and over again. But the problem is, |
| 0:21.1 | businesses are built through compounding effort. And compounding effort just requires time. |
| 0:27.7 | What is up, you guys? Welcome back to the podcast. I'm excited to talk to you about this today. |
| 0:32.1 | I gave this talk at our legacy event. And it really landed. I kicked us off with this, and then basically every |
| 0:38.5 | other speaker validated me and so many of our students were like, oh my God, that's what I needed |
| 0:43.0 | to hear. That's the thing I have to go back and do and think about. So let me start it off like |
| 0:48.3 | this. Most entrepreneurs don't fail because of their lack of strategy. They fail because they |
| 0:53.3 | cannot regulate themselves |
| 0:54.8 | long enough for the strategy to work. So today I'm talking about regulating yourself and your business. |
| 1:01.1 | Resilience, patience, how do you create the nervous system of a CEO? How do you get to the point |
| 1:06.0 | where you're not like, sign up for this? This is too hard. This client wants their money back. I have to |
| 1:10.2 | spend more on ads now, you know, like freak out because that's the game. This is too hard. This client wants their money back. I have to spend more on ads now. |
| 1:11.2 | You know, like freak out because that's the game. So many people do and they pivot too fast. |
| 1:16.7 | They react too fast. They spiral too fast. And the truth is business doesn't reward intensity. |
| 1:23.2 | What it awards, awards, rewards, rewards is steadiness. Steadiness of a CEO. So a while back, I talked about the nervousiness of a CEO so while back I talked about the nervous |
| 1:30.2 | system of a CEO why regulation is the price for admission in leadership there was an episode around |
| 1:35.8 | December where I really talked about this but how this is hard and how you have to figure that part |
| 1:39.8 | out but today I want to go deeper I want to go deeper into what it actually looks like in practice. |
| 1:44.9 | So if you're enjoying this episode, go back to the one in the mindset talk in December that you, that you needed, that a state of the union that I gave for our students. |
| 1:54.2 | And today I'm elaborating on it. So resilience and patience, they're not personality traits that like you may think, they're just trained behaviors. |
