It's always the downstream effect of something else, which is either they don't have a why that's strong enough, their identity is holding them back, or they have too many fears." - Rob DialRob Dial pulls back the curtain on what really causes procrastination - revealing it's merely a symptom of deeper identity issues or fears holding us back. Through a powerful thought experiment asking people to imagine making a million dollars with loved ones' lives at stake, he demonstrates how quickly "impossible" goals become achievable when we have a compelling enough reason. His insight cuts through typical productivity advice to address the root causes that keep us stuck in patterns of delay and avoidance.The conversation takes a profound turn as Rob and Lewis explore how our motivations impact not just our success but our fulfillment. Rob shares his observation that many of the most successful people he knows are also the most generous, suggesting that pursuing goals beyond self-interest often leads to greater abundance. He cautions against the dangerous trap of believing happiness awaits at "the top of the mountain," highlighting the tragic reality of accomplished individuals who achieve everything yet still feel empty inside.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
