In this episode of The Money Lever Podcast, host Josh Latimer breaks down a hidden mental pattern that quietly stops business owners from winning. It sounds subtle. It feels familiar. And it is far more dangerous than failure. 

Josh introduces FOPO, an acronym that stands for Fear, Overwhelm, Procrastination, and Overthinking. These four forces work together to keep people stuck in preparation mode instead of execution mode. Most people do not fail because they lack intelligence, skill, or opportunity. They fail because they never fully allow themselves to succeed. 

You will hear why people are often more afraid of success than failure, how fear shows up in everyday business decisions, and why overwhelm feels bigger than it actually is. Josh explains why procrastination usually has nothing to do with laziness and everything to do with unclear desire. He also explains why overthinking is often a sign of intelligence, not weakness, and how smart people accidentally sabotage themselves by avoiding constraints. 

This episode gives you practical ways to fight back. You will learn how to take action while scared, reduce overwhelm through clarity, eliminate procrastination by defining what you really want, and destroy overthinking by using deadlines and public commitments.
