Ep10 When Trying Too Hard Burns Down Your Business (And How to Stop Creating Your Own Fires)

Ever spent days losing your mind over something that turned out to be... nothing?


Joe did.


A simple camera setup issue turned into a 2-day rage spiral that consumed his entire world.


Wrong cord. Wrong port. That's it.


But here's the kicker...


This wasn't just about tech problems.


It's about the pattern most of us are stuck in WITHOUT realizing it.


We get tunnel vision on tiny problems...


Fan the flames with our frustration...


And create massive fires out of small sparks.


Meanwhile, the REAL important stuff gets ignored.


(Joe had 30 people coming to an in-person event while he was having a meltdown over camera cables.)


In this episode, Joe and Jason break down:

• Why "trying harder" often makes everything worse

• The difference between massive action and being a "try hard"

• How to spot when you're creating problems that don't exist

• The business cost of emotional reactions to minor issues

• Why stepping back feels impossible (but saves everything)

• How anger spirals compound and destroy your decision-making


Plus Jason shares his "well, at least I finally got there" philosophy...


And why some problems solve themselves when you stop forcing solutions.


If you've ever wondered why small issues become massive crises in your business...


Or why you feel like you're constantly putting out fires you didn't start...


This one's for you.


Time to stop being your own worst enemy.
