ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Have you ever been so sure you knew what you were doing that you ignored advice that, in hindsight, would have made things easier or faster?
Maybe someone gave you advice and your immediate reaction was, “Yeah, but that won’t work for me.” Or you kept doing something the same way because you’d always done it that way. Or you walked into a conversation thinking you already knew what was going on, only to realise afterwards that you’d missed a crucial detail.
We all do it. And sometimes, knowing what works for you is a good thing. The problem starts when “I know” becomes the end of the conversation. Because when you're convinced you already have the answer, you stop asking questions, stop experimenting, and often stop seeing the possibilities right in front of you.
In this episode, we what happens when “I know” becomes your default response, how it can keep you stuck without you even realising it, and what can happen when you're willing to pause and ask, “OK… but what if I'm missing something?” Let's dive in!

- The gap between knowing about something and actually implementing it - and why that gap is costing you time and results
