Summary

What if the reason you’re not moving forward isn’t what you’re missing, but what you keep holding on to? Change doesn’t happen because you add more to your life. It happens when you finally remove the habits that drain your time, your energy and your momentum. In this solo episode, I break down the seven patterns that stop high performers from moving forward, even when they think they’re doing everything right. These questions come up constantly, and the truth behind them is the same. Waiting is a trap, negative energy slows you down, comfort blocks growth, complaining keeps you stuck in place. If you feel like you’re pushing hard but not getting anywhere, this episode will show you exactly what to cut. These are simple shifts, but they change everything. Tune in and take notes. What we discuss: (00:49) Why waiting to feel ready keeps you stuck (01:41) How negative people drain your creativity and momentum (02:26) Comfort that feels good now but blocks real growth (03:32) Complaining vs ownership and what actually moves you forward (04:07) Failure as feedback and the mindset shift that stops the quitting cycle (04:40) When saying yes becomes self-sabotage and how to break the pattern (05:41) Consuming before creating and why it kills your voice and momentum Thank you to our sponsor: Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off Air Doctor: Go to airdoctorpro.com and use promo code HUSTLE40 for up to $300 off and a 3-year warranty on air purifiers.

0:00.0	Hi, guys. It's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits and Hustle. Crush it.
0:06.8	Before we dive into today's episode, I first want to thank our sponsor, Therasage. Their
0:12.4	tri-light panel has become my favorite biohacking thing for healing my body. It's a portable red light
0:19.7	panel that I simply cannot live without. I literally
0:23.0	bring it with me everywhere I go. And I personally use their red light therapy to help reduce
0:28.5	inflammations and places in my body where honestly I have pain. You can use it on a sore back,
0:35.2	stomach cramps, shoulder, ankle. Red light therapy is my go-to.
0:40.0	Plus, it also has amazing anti-aging benefits, including reducing signs of fine lines and wrinkles
0:46.3	on your face, which I also use it for. I personally use Therisage trilight everywhere at all the time. It's small, it's affordable, it's portable,

1:38.6	But today, I actually want to flip it.
1:42.1	Real transformation isn't just about adding new habits.
1:45.1	It's actually about stopping the ones that hold you back,
1:50.3	the ones and patterns that keep you stuck, drained, and waiting for that quote-unquote someday. So today, I want to share with you seven things I would never do if I want to level up.
1:57.6	And how saying no to these habits will instantly move you closer to the life you
2:02.4	actually want. I did this by compiling some of the most asked questions of me in this area.
2:09.4	And so I'm going to share the question with you and then we're going to dive into the answer.
