Stop Overthinking, Start Winning

What if the secret to business success isn’t smarter work, but harder work—at least at first? In this solo episode of Own the Exit, Caleb dives into the trap of overthinking and why "done is better than perfect." He challenges the belief that efficiency is always the answer, instead focusing on the power of iteration and market feedback. Drawing from his own experience and examples like Dave Ramsey’s budgeting app, Caleb shows how exponential results are born from relentless action and continuous improvement.

This episode is a wake-up call to get out of your head and into action. Learn why perfectionism is just procrastination in disguise and how small, consistent steps can lead to massive breakthroughs. If you're ready to scale your business by embracing hard work, this is your roadmap.
