Summer B JoyGuestAmosHostOkay.
So, um, are you there?
That's quite fascinating.
It's, uh, it's something really interesting.
So you noticed that smart, committed people could have the right, uh, strategy and still struggle to execute, um, to execute it.
Why do you think that happens?

Well, what I have come to understand is that there is actually what I call a silent CEO that lives inside of our nervous system, and it's what, it's what actually gatekeeps our success.

So what happens is that we can have all the best strategy in the whole wide world and then, you know, go out and, uh, attempt to execute it.

But our, our silent CEO that lives inside of our nervous system, it defaults to our survival wiring.

And so we, we all just have natural patterns that we fall into, um, to keep us safe.

So the intention is good, and, you know, if you have a tiger to slay, that's a great thing.

If you have a business to run, it's not so great because we, we want things beyond what, what's in kind of, kind of that, you know, safety zone, if you will.

And, and we're applying ourselves, you know, we're putting ourselves towards that, but that, that mechanism inside of us that, that kind of pushes us back into our default patterns is, is what we end up, you know, actioning.

So for some of us, that might look like, you know, we have like a s- a s- a freeze response, and we stall, and we go blank, and we, we, you know, we-- it's like we know what to do, but we can't get ourselves to do it.

For others of us, it might be like, you know, an over-responsibility, taking on too much for other people and, and making sure that the relationship is what's preserved and saved over, over everything else.

And so we kind of maybe have a scenario where we undercharge for, you know, what our value And we do it in the name of relationship building and say, "Oh, but we know we're, we're building that relationship, so it's okay.

It's okay to not, you know, charge our, our full value, our full worth." And so those kinds of things show up, and we don't even actually know that they're happening, but they're what, what moves our choices.

And it's like it's, it's auto-deciding before we even sometimes know there's a decision that we're making.

And so it's, it's, it's actually that undercurrent that keeps the people from all of us, myself included, from truly being able to line up, um, you know, like a great strategy and what we wanna execute with, um, you know, with actually being able to do all the things to do it.

So yeah, that's, that's what I discovered is really like an invisible force that's keeping us from, from that.
Okay.
