Your Dream Is Embarrassing At This Point. Build It Or Shut Up About It

**WHY YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS:**
You have been talking about the same dream for years and everyone around you has quietly stopped believing you. This is the episode your best friend is too polite to give you, naming the gap between how much you talk about it and how little you have done, and exactly what it is costing you.

**WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS:**
Why people stopped asking about your dream and what your repeated announcements have trained everyone around you to believe, why describing a thing and making a thing are unrelated activities that feel identical from the inside, the research showing that publicly announcing goals can reduce follow through by producing a premature sense of identity that partially satisfies the need the achievement was supposed to fill, the eleven year engagement analogy, and the tower parable where Jesus names public ridicule for the person who began to build and was not able to finish.
