What if the real problem is not motivation, but commitment?
In this conversation, Scott Perry of Creative on Purpose joins Maya to unpack why so many solopreneurs get stuck chasing motivation, following guru advice, and trying to force progress through hustle. They explore a better path: building a meaningful business based on who you are, what you are good at, and the difference you are here to make.
You’ll hear Scott’s perspective on motivation vs commitment, why small promises matter more than big declarations, how smart people sabotage themselves, and what it takes to build a business that funds and fits the life you actually want.
