Summary
David Nurse knows exactly what’s holding you back from reaching your goals—taking action. And you’re about to be introduced to the nine action archetypes that explain your lack of follow-through. You’ll learn to identify your archetype, the way it’s affecting you, and how to use the right tools to get you moving forward.
David is an NBA Mindset Coach (and former professional basketball player himself), a Top 50 worldwide motivational speaker, and an author. He’s been teaching professional athletes and Fortune 100 executives how to develop unshakeable mindsets for the past 15 years.
“The traditional belief that hard work is the only way to succeed is flawed,” David says.
In his newest book, “Do It: The Life-Changing Power of Taking Action,” he gives you other options to explore and tells you why they work with an unconventional approach: “The heart is your armor. The brain is your sword. Together, working as one unit, this is what makes you a warrior: the brain and heart connection.”
Today’s conversation gets into how you can defeat fear and take action by using a no-fail formula to eliminate hesitation. This requires repetition (your daily habits) plus instinct (your gut feelings) plus trust (belief in the process). You’ll also get tools that will help you unlock your personal roadblocks and achieve your goals.

| 0:09.0 | You're listening to the human upgrade with Dave Asprey. |
| 0:16.8 | On today's episode, we're going to talk about just taking action, which is what happens |
| 0:24.5 | when you don't just have a goal, but you decide to do something to reach the goal. |
| 0:29.6 | This is something that I actually struggled with. |
| 0:33.6 | I don't usually say struggled with because you don't have to struggle if you have a challenge, |
| 0:38.0 | but that's something you most must do. |
| 0:39.0 | When I was younger, I did struggle with this because I'd had these goals, but just wouldn't |
| 0:43.3 | do the basic things to get myself there, and then I would sort of beat myself up for |
| 0:47.8 | it. |
| 0:48.8 | So, I invited David Nurse on to the show today. |
| 0:53.4 | And he talks about action archetypes. |
| 0:56.6 | And if you've been following me for a while, I love these frameworks that help you understand |
| 1:00.6 | how to perform better as a human being, whether we're talking about a personality type, a |
| 1:05.4 | neogram, or we're talking about even erotic blueprints from the conference last year, |
| 1:12.0 | or love languages. |
| 1:13.0 | All of these are different frameworks for understanding people, but I have not come across |
| 1:17.8 | something called an action archetype until I became familiar with David Nurse's work. |
| 1:23.0 | He is an NBA mindset coach because apparently just throwing balls through hoops isn't enough. |
| 1:29.5 | You have to actually think about throwing them through. |
| 1:31.3 | Isn't that right, David? |
