The 4 Excuses Stopping You From Starting a Business (And Powerful Reframes)

"I don't have time" is the biggest lie you tell yourself. And it's the exact reason you should make a change.

In this episode of Two Blokes One Business, Harvs and Powelly break down the four excuses they’ve heard many times: I don't have time, I can't afford it, my partner won't approve, and I'm not good enough.

They don't tell you you're wrong, instead they hand you a reframe for each one so you believe it from the inside out. Y

ou'll hear why every choice you've made so far built the life you have now, and why nothing shifts until one of those choices does.

They also lived these excuses. In this episode, you'll learn:

✅A powerful reframe that turns all four excuses into the reason to act, not the reason to wait

✅ The 24 hour question that blows past the easy "no" in your head and reveals how resourceful you really are

✅ How to tell if "I can't afford it" is fear talking or an honest answer

✅ The three questions to ask before your partner's doubt becomes your excuse

✅ Why "I'm not good enough" never goes away (but there is something that shrinks it)

✅ The dog, horse and tiger model that shows how you'll perform when nobody is watching
