S7E8 | Stop Making Excuses: The Truth About What’s Really Holding You Back

We all make excuses but are they real, or just comfortable lies we tell ourselves?

In this video, we’re digging into the truth behind excuses:
🔹 Why we make them
🔹 How they sabotage progress
🔹 And how to break free from the mindset that’s holding you back

If you’re serious about growth in business, relationships, or life this is the wake-up call you need.

No fluff. Just real talk.
Because you can either make excuses or make progress…
You can’t do both.
