How to Stop "Trying" and Just Decide

from The Matt J Hanham Show

How many times have you said you're trying to get fit, start a business, create content, or make a change? The truth is, "trying" isn't effort. It's a delay tactic. In this Inside Out solo episode, I unpack why the word trying keeps us stuck in limbo, how it lets us avoid real responsibility, and why a simple decision can change everything. Inspired by the famous Yoda quote "There is no try" this episode is a reminder that progress doesn't come from motivation or perfection, but from commitment and action. If you've been stuck negotiating with yourself, this is your nudge to decide, take the first small step, and move forward — starting today.
