In this episode, Jen sits down with Kam Knight, bestselling author and former accountant turned mental performance expert. Kam shares his journey from the world of accounting to becoming a renowned speaker, coach, and author of 12 bestselling books.
Kam delves into the concept of "internal resistance," the mental barriers that can prevent us from achieving our goals despite having the desire and motivation. He explains how this resistance, often perceived as an obstacle, is actually a protective mechanism of the brain designed to safeguard us from perceived risks. Understanding and navigating this resistance can lead to greater personal and professional success.
**Key Takeaways:**
- **Understanding Resistance:** Resistance is a part of our brain that evaluates risks and can prevent action, even when we have the motivation and desire to succeed.
- **The Want vs. Resistance Dynamic:** Kam discusses how our endless wants and desires can create a feedback loop with our resistance, making it harder to achieve our goals.
- **Practical Tips:** Learn strategies to manage conflicting wants, reduce immediate cravings, and dig deeper into why you truly want what you desire.
