Ever catch yourself endlessly planning that digital product without actually building it? You're not alone. In this candid conversation with goal coach Debi, we uncover why so many brilliant ideas never make it past the Google Doc stage—and exactly how to break that cycle.
Debi reveals the four psychological barriers keeping you stuck: fear of judgment, lack of clarity about your concept, knowledge gaps in implementation, and the perfectionism trap that tells you everything must be flawless before launch. She explains why "done is better than perfect" isn't just a cute saying but the fundamental mindset shift needed to actually complete your course, membership, or ebook.
The conversation takes a practical turn as Debi shares her SMARTER goals framework that builds on the traditional approach by adding Evaluation and Reward—critical components for maintaining momentum. Rather than setting goals and forgetting them, this system keeps priorities top of mind through daily, manageable actions. You'll learn her exact method for prioritizing tasks (hint: time-sensitive and money-making activities always come first) and how breaking massive projects into their smallest components transforms overwhelming ideas into doable steps.
Perhaps most refreshingly, Debi advocates for the "throw spaghetti at the wall" approach—especially for newer entrepreneurs still discovering what resonates with their audience. By putting ideas out in different formats and seeing what sticks, you gather invaluable market data while making actual progress instead of endless planning.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
