    Feb 2 2026

    Every broken promise to yourself has a cost. If you've been struggling to follow through on your own commitments, the problem might not be what you think. In this week's episode of the Small Business Straight Talk Podcast, I'm sharing a different lens on why you can't seem to keep promises to yourself, and it has nothing to do with discipline, willpower, or finding the right planner.

    What You'll Discover In This Episode:

    ✔ Why Your Self-Trust Bank May Be Overdrawn And What That Means For Your Follow-Through

    ✔ The Fiduciary Responsibility You Have To Yourself That Most Business Owners Ignore

    ✔ How Small Broken Promises Compound Into A Trust Crisis

    ✔ The Micro-Deposit Strategy For Rebuilding Trust One Kept Promise At A Time

    ✔ So Much More!
