There is a voice in your head that shows up every time you are about to do something that matters. Right before you make the call. Right before you knock on the door. Right before you follow up one more time.
And it says things like:
This is probably not a good time.
They are likely already working with someone.
I do not want to seem pushy.
I will do it later when I am more prepared.
And just like that, you don't do the work and the moment passes.
That voice has a name. It is called the Drunk Monkey.
It is not your intuition. It is not wisdom or good judgment. It is fear dressed up in logical clothing. And it is running the show in more agents businesses than anyone wants to admit.
You are never going to silence it completely. But you can learn to recognize it, name it, and refuse to let it make your decisions.
The drunk monkey has been running the show long enough. Time to take the keys back. 🙂
