Why does more learning often keep entrepreneurs stuck instead of creating results?

Erin Gray 0:00
Welcome back to Your Money, Your Rules. Today I want to credit one of my clients with this idea for this episode because we were talking in one of our sessions about her implementing more and pausing the learning for a bit. I think as entrepreneurs, you know, we're so often encouraged to keep learning and we genuinely love to learn. I think that's just in our DNA. We read all of the books, we listen to the podcasts, we take the courses, we hire the Coaches, we we do all of the things. And I believe that learning is a very important and valid part of our business. And I advocate, you know, for everything that I mentioned above. But I think a lot of us have reached this point where the answer actually isn't more information, it's actually implementation.

So let's dive in. For a lot of us, information feels very productive. If you were a good little girl in school and you made straight A's, you were great at learning and taking tests and learning more information. And I think learning helps us feel productive. You know, we tell ourselves that we are working on our business, we're investing ourselves. And that's actually true. Like we are doing those things and implementation. though is where transformation actually happens. Like you don't change because you learned something. You change because you applied it and you embodied it. Like think about listening to podcasts on boundaries. How many podcasts have we heard on boundaries? Nothing is going to change though until you actually set one and you follow it.
Erin Gray 1:32
Like think about the first time you actually had to set a boundary, uphold the boundary, and then you know, have the consequence for the boundary. Like that's where we actually embody it. And learned the lessons that we have been reading or taking courses on.

How does implementing what you already know build confidence and self‑trust?

Erin Gray 1:48
Think about all the money. I mean, I have so many money books on my shelf. And I've taken so many different courses and all of this stuff around money. But what actually shifted for me is when I actually started taking action and implementing and like being and acting from the identity of a person that. Feels safe. with her money. So I think the other thing is that implementation, it creates evidence. So, meaning that so often we want to feel more confident, but confidence isn't built from more information. It comes from our identity, right? So when you think about being a more confident person, you'd have to ask yourself, okay. What would obviously the feeling would be confident, but what would be the actions that I would be taking from a place of confidence?
Erin Gray 2:39
And One of the things that I'm always asking myself is what would a confident, trusting, bold person do? And if what I am the action that I'm taking is not aligned with that, then that is where I correct the action and I take action from that place. So confidence and boldness and trust grows from evidence, right? Evidence comes from taking action. I think. We need both parts. We need the part that like settles our brain so that we can actually build some evidence of like, look, I did this and it was okay and I still felt safe and I worked through it and it was fine. And then also from the body's perspective as well. So every time you implement something, you create more proof in your brain. You gather that data, you
Erin Gray 3:25
Um, you know, you learn something, you refine it, you are building more self-trust. And this is also about being willing to feel

What role does nervous‑system safety play in taking action and forming new habits?

Erin Gray 3:37
The unfamiliarity in your body, the discomfort in your body. This is about you creating the safety that you need in your nervous system. So that you can then take the action. And the more that you take it, right, the less scary it begins to feel in your body. And then the quicker that you get results and then you gather data and then you refine and you keep moving on. And I'm not advocating here because I think for me, when I first started on this journey. I Was actually Taking action too quickly. Like my body did not feel safe enough. And I was kind of pushing myself when my body wasn't ready. And there's this fine line there that only you know because you're in your body.
