EP615: TL Nuggets #182 - From Apathy To Action
49 Plays1 day ago
“You will crash and you will burn and you won’t even know why.”
Nicky's coming in hot with this Thought Leader Nugget. This episode is all about the three stages of business disasters waiting to happen: the *Oh Shit Zone* (where you're flat broke and panicking), the *Apathy Zone* (aka the “meh” zone where everything’s just *blah*), and the *Hubris Zone* (aka “I’m untouchable, right?”—wrong).
Turns out, the hubris zone is the most dangerous of them all because it’s where you think you've got it all figured out. Spoiler alert: you don't. But don’t worry, Nicky’s got the solution—action, action, action. He’s also teamed up with the legendary Marc von Musser for the 100 Day Sprint, which is basically like 75 Hard for your business. You do daily reach-outs, calls, emails, podcasts, and referrals until you're out of the danger zones and back to winning.
The hubris zone is where your ego goes to party, but your business pays the price. Stop waiting for some miracle to shake things up—get reconnected to your why and start hustling. Daily action steps = $$$. That’s math.
Remember:
1. Be honest: Are you stuck in one of these danger zones, and are you ready to admit it?
2. What’s one thing you can do *today* to get out of your comfort zone and into growth mode?
3. Think you’re ready for the 100 Day Sprint? Time to level up or keep coasting.

You deserve better than to be stuck in those danger zones. How do you get out of these zones? Well, you need to either get mad or you need to get excited. You need to reconnect to your dream, to your why, to what made you go for this crazy thing called your business in the first place.

Welcome to another exciting episode of the podcast of Thought Leader Revolution. I'm your host, Nicky Balloon. And boy, do we have another exciting episode lining up for you today. Today's episode is another thought leader nugget. And I'm telling you what, it's a nugget and it's powerful.
Understanding 'Oh Shit', Apathy, and Hubris Zones
00:01:50
Speaker
And what we're talking about today is the dangers of being in the hubris zone. Nicky, what the heck's a hubris zone? What you talking about, Willis?
00:02:03
Speaker
So let me tell you, there are various stages in the growth of your business that can be extremely dangerous to you. These stages, there's three of them, are called the oh shit zone, the apathy zone and the hubris zone. And let me tell you a little bit about all three of them. The oh shit zone is dangerous because That's when you don't have any money, you're running out of money. Your psyche's taking a beating, your bank account's taking a beating, and you're running out of time. And unless you turn it around, you're screwed. The apathy zone, that's when things aren't too bad, things aren't too good. I mean, it's okay, that's when you're driving your old beater car, you're not driving the car of your dreams, you're living in an okay neighborhood, not in the house of your dreams.
00:02:59
Speaker
Things aren't terrible, but they're not great either. And the problem with that zone is you don't have any inspiration. You're just waiting for some external force to wake you out of your torpor.
00:03:16
Speaker
And here's the problem. No external force is coming to save you. And then the final zone, that's the hubris zone. That's when you think you've got it all figured out. Your shit don't stink no more. You don't need anybody. You don't need to learn anything else. It's all good. And that's dangerous, because when you get into the hubris zone, you stop growing. And your success was built on an edifice of fire and growth. And that edifice is crumbling underneath your feet. And you're starting to crash. You're starting to burn.
00:03:55
Speaker
That's the hubris zone and you will crash and you will burn and you won't even know why.
Reconnecting to Dreams and Taking Action
00:04:03
Speaker
Here's the truth. All of these are dangerous, but the hubris zone is extremely dangerous. And how do you get out of these zones? Well, you need to either get mad or you need to get excited. You need to reconnect to your dream.
00:04:25
Speaker
to your why, to what made you go for this crazy thing called your business in the first place. You need to get reconnected in your heart. You need to get reconnected in your soul. And then you need to get reconnected to the opportunity. And once you do that, then you get into action, action, action, action, action, Jackson. That is when you get out of the hubris zone, of the apathy zone, of the oh shit zone, because they're all dangerous, dangerous to you and your health, your mental health, your spiritual health, even your physical health. So how how do you get

into action? Well, I suggest,
