Welcome to the Level Up Podcast.

I'm your host, Paul Alex.

I went from being a comp to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day.

I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals.

Let's win together.

Remember, I have your six.

Get ready to level up right now.

What's up, everybody?

Welcome back to the Level Up Podcast.

I'm Paul Alex and today we're calling out the biggest roadblock to your success.

You.

That's right.

You are sabotaging your own growth and you don't even realize it.

You say you want success, but you hesitate.

You make excuses.

You overthink every opportunity instead of executing.

And that's why you're stuck.

Success doesn't happen to people who wait.

It actually happens to people who move.

First, you're waiting for the perfect moment.

News flash.

It doesn't exist.

If you're waiting until you're ready, you'll be waiting forever.

Winners take action before they feel ready.

Second, you're surrounding yourself with comfort instead of challenge.

If you're the smartest or the most successful person in your circle, your circle is holding you back.

Level up your environment and you'll level up your mindset.

And lastly, avoiding the hard stuff.

Growth comes from doing the uncomfortable, facing rejection, pushing through fear.

The faster you embrace the pain, the faster you'll get to where you want to be.

Bottom line, stop being your own worst enemy.

Take action, upgrade your circle, and lean into the struggle.

That's how you're going to break free.

Thanks for tuning in to the Level Up Podcast.

I'm Paul Alex, reminding you to get out of your own way, execute, and as always, keep leveling up.
