Summary

In this solo episode, Trevor Cowley gets brutally honest about what’s really holding most business owners back—and it’s not the economy, leads, or competition. It’s you.

Trevor breaks down how comfort, ego, and a lack of self-awareness keep entrepreneurs stuck, even when everything on the outside looks good. He shares the hard truths about drowning in silence, the importance of intentional discomfort, and why success requires more than just showing up.

If you’ve been feeling burnt out, unmotivated, or like you’re losing yourself in the hustle—this one will hit home.If you are ready to level up personally and professionally, go to joinrbo.com

0:00.0	Being an entrepreneur sounds cool, but the reality of building a business is very, very difficult.
0:07.0	Every level that you hit, there's a lot of things that suck that you just won't want to do.
0:11.6	What you're capable of is on the other side I don't feel like it.
0:15.5	And if you're committed to what it is that you're trying to do, nothing is going to stop you from getting there.
0:23.5	Welcome back to another episode of real business owners with myself, Trevor Cowley.
0:28.1	Today is a solo episode, so you know how that goes. Some days I get a little aggressive,
0:33.3	but it comes from a place of love. You know, I love and care about each one of you that take time out of your day to tune in and that are doing what they can to try to get information to enhance their life.
0:44.7	But obviously, as you know, information is only so good.
0:48.3	It's applied information that really makes changes.
0:51.0	I want to reaffirm this before I jump in today's podcast. There's nothing wrong with any of

1:18.8	what's needed. The issue is, you're accepting what your struggles are without really putting up a fight
1:24.2	to overcome them, hence they still exist. I hated seeing somebody run faster than me,
1:30.4	but I didn't hate it enough to go out there and work on increasing my speed. So you either hate the
1:36.4	struggle that you're dealing with or the process that you would have to go through to fix it.
1:40.9	Most hate the process to fix it, but yet they bitch about the same struggles that they
1:45.4	aren't willing to address and they do that for the rest of their lives. Once you overcome you and
1:50.6	your shortcomings, the new you will overcome the struggles that you're currently facing. This is all
1:57.5	an individual problem. If your business is in chaos, you're probably a disorganized person.
