S22E27: Recruiting Reality Check | Procrastinator Annie + The "I'll Start When I'm Ready" Trap
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this Recruiting Reality Check, Katie Neff and Japheth Mast break down "Procrastinator Annie" – an impressive sophomore at a target school who bought 24 coaching sessions, built a full prep plan… and then didn't start.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why waiting until you "feel ready" is the most common trap high achievers fall into
- What to do when you're behind on prep with only weeks to go
- The daily minimum that keeps you moving forward (even when time is tight)
- Why your first coaching session is supposed to be uncomfortable
