Why do so many entrepreneurs procrastinate—even when the stakes are high? In this episode of the Lazy Entrepreneur Podcast, host Kristy dives deep with Robin J. Emdon, author of Get Resultsology: The Science of Getting Stuff Done, to uncover the biological, psychological, and practical roots of chronic procrastination in business.
Robin shares his personal journey of overcoming deep-seated procrastination and reveals what finally sparked lasting change. We explore how brain chemistry—especially dopamine, cortisol, and acetylcholine—affects motivation and productivity. You'll also learn the difference between threat mode and reward mode, and how to train your brain to stay focused, even during high-stress times.
Whether you're stuck in perfectionism, decision fatigue, or just can't seem to finish what you start, this episode is packed with relatable insights and actionable tools. Robin explains how entrepreneurs can use systems, accountability, and vision to build momentum, defeat distraction, and finally get things done.
