"Action beats intention. Results beat ego." What if the reason you're stuck isn’t about talent, skill, or even motivation? It’s because of how your mind reacts under pressure. And whether you realize it or not, you’re likely playing out one of three patterns that sabotage high performers: The Go Harder Guy, The Mr. Nice Guy, or The Chip on the Shoulder Guy. Alex De Fina joins Itamar in this episode to break down the three performance archetypes that affect entrepreneurs' success. Key Topics: How to recognize what emotion patterns take you away from peak performance Why identifying your archetype matters more than striving for an ideal persona - understanding your default patterns helps prevent self-sabotage Practical strategies to break free from each archetype's limitations while maintaining their core strengths Pre-order Itamar's book "Military Grade Mindset" at militarygrademindset.com * If you’re ready to get unstuck and take both yourself and your business to the next level, apply to The Arena here: https://itamarmarani.com/apply Get the Extreme Clarity Tool To Uncover The #1 Action To Grow Your Business: https://itamarmarani.com/clarity Sign up for “3 Quick Ideas Tuesday” (weekly 2 minute newsletter around mindset and emotional fortitude): https://itamarmarani.com/3-ideas/…
