All It Takes Is A Goal

What if I told you there's one word that can solve procrastination instantly? A word you haven't thought about in years, but one that used to mean everything to you. In this episode, I'm sharing insights from my new book, Procrastination Proof, and revealing why permission is the pathway out of procrastination and into a remarkable life. Remember the permission slip from childhood? That magical piece of paper that unlocked field trips, soccer teams, and adventures? It's time to give yourself that same permission again. Future you is desperately trying to hand you a permission slip right now. The 40 year old version of you wants your 30 year old self to take a shot. The 70 year old version is begging your 50 year old self to go for it. You will wish you started sooner. Everyone does. So let's trade procrastination for permission and build a remarkable life. Because later, when you finally stop procrastinating, you'll wish you had started today.

A creative director once drew something on a napkin that completely changed how I saw my own limitations. His name was Ted, and he showed me why I was so unhappy at 26, stuck in my fifth job in six years, and dangerously close to needing a sixth. The illustration he drew explained why it's so difficult to create something remarkable when you're trapped inside such a small, constricted world. In this episode, I'm sharing that story and asking you a challenging question: Where have you drawn the boundaries in your own life? Those walls that make the whole experience smaller, safer, and duller? You might think it's your boss, your spouse, or your circumstances holding you back. But what if it's actually you? This is a sneak peek from my new book Procrastination Proof, which releases tomorrow. If you preorder it today, you get the entire audiobook for free at jonacuff.com/proof. Sometimes jealousy is just your dreams trying to get your attention. Let's talk about it.

Ask 100,000 people why they procrastinate and you'll get five common answers: task, time, history, fear, and ego. Maybe the project feels overwhelming. Maybe you don't have enough time. Maybe procrastination paid off in college when you still got an A on that all-nighter paper. Maybe you're afraid it won't be perfect, or maybe your ego says "I shouldn't have to do this." All valid reasons, right? Wrong. There's actually only one true reason people procrastinate, and when you hear it, you're going to say "well, duh." In this episode, I'm breaking down those five common reasons people think they procrastinate, then revealing the surprising real reason we all do it. Spoiler: procrastination isn't a problem. It's actually a solution. We use it because we think it's the best tool we have. But what if I told you there's a better way? My new book Procrastination Proof comes out April 14th, and if you pre-order now, you get the entire audiobook for free.

I spent two years preparing to write my first book. You know what finally got it done? Writing one terrible page on a Tuesday afternoon in a Burger King. For years, I sang Colin Hay's "Waiting for My Real Life to Begin" hundreds of times while stuck in Nashville traffic, living in complete quicksand. Then in 2013, I started my own company and lost all my support systems overnight. I had one employee, and that employee was terrible. It was me. In this episode, I'm sharing the embarrassing situation that forced me to stop procrastinating, the constant battle between responsible me and procrastinating me, and the one question that changed everything: What are you waiting for? This is the first episode in our procrastination series, and it's a sneak peek from my new book Procrastination Proof, which comes out April 14th. Pre order it now and get the entire audiobook for free at jonacuff.com/go.

What happens when two guys who've known each other for 13 years sit down to talk about the weird journey of chasing dreams? In this conversation with comedian John Crist, we get into the stuff nobody talks about: the Excel spreadsheet he keeps of every show he's ever done (including whether he got a standing ovation), why he still sleeps in his car at gas stations with his handgun in the cup holder, and the one joke about the Confederacy he's been trying to crack for six years. We also dive into why most people quit before they make it, what it's like when other comedians become your reverse mentors, the moment you cross over from being the small guy to being the successful one everyone resents, and why "in a world addicted to fear, hope is an act of open rebellion." Plus, John breaks down why he thinks the internet has changed, what makes a good hang on the road, and why he's finally getting married after all these years. This one gets real about the trade offs, the ego hits, and why you can't have both pending doom and whatever at the same time.
