This YouTube video (Hey Sabri episode) features Sabri Suby answering a viewer's question about dealing with fear and procrastination. Suby's core prescription is to identify a compelling personal "why" (what you want and, importantly, what happens if you don't achieve it), use that intersection to generate energy, and routinely revisit and visually cue that purpose to eliminate fear and stop procrastinating. The video ends with a short CTA to like, subscribe, and leave comments.

Hey guys. On this episode of hey Sabri, I'm going to be answering Shantanu Ja's question, which is how do I deal with my fear and in specifically procrastination, right? And this is a great question because basically this is something that, you know, not many people want to talk about. Like everyone wants to know about the hacks or the tips or what can I put in my email subject lines to increase my open rate? But you know, there is this huge thing of fear out there and it's something that I see holding a lot of people back. Even people that you know, appear to be successful is this fear of like failing, failing or what other people are going to think about them, right? And the thing that you want to start with, really where everything starts, is why is it that you are doing what it is that you are doing? So people be like, okay, cool, I want to make a million bucks a year. I want to make 10 million bucks. But why? Like money is worthless, right? It's all about what you do with that money. You know, you're not gonna. People want that money because there's something they want to do with it. And what you really want to get focused on about is, you know, what is that why for you? And why is it that you want to go out and achieve all the things that you want to achieve in life? And it's something that you only not only need to think about, okay, what is my why? You know, do I want to help my family out? Do I want to pay off my parents mortgage, Do I want to be in a position where I can kick my brother or sister, you know, 10, 20, 30K to help them with some problem that they've got, or help them pay for their children's school fees? Or do I want to give back to a community or a church or a cause or whatever it might be, right? And really think about, okay, that's what I want. That's kind of my why. But then I also want you to think about what happens if you don't hit that why? That's something that people don't do. They always think about what they want, but they don't think about what the repercussions is or what their life will look like if they don't achieve the things that they've always wanted to achieve. And where you get a lot of power is where basically your why and what would happen if you don't hit your why intersect. It's in that spot there that just generates so much energy. And this isn't something that you. An exercise that you can do like once in your life, right? Or not even once a year or, you know, once every six months or every quarter or once a month. This has to be something that you book in time with yourself to revisit to look. You need to have visual cues in your life that you look at every day that gets you on purpose and reminds you why you are doing all the things that you're doing and what are the repercussions if you don't do that. You need to get sold 100% fundamentally, because that thing, if you do that, that will kill any fear, right? This is something that will set your soul on fire and you won't give a fuck about what other people think. You won't give a fuck about the fear or anything. You wake up and when you read that, it puts you in state that you feel empowered and you are ready to rock and you are ready to roll. And it kind of makes all that stuff secondary. So if you're thinking, you know, in the absence of having that purpose and having that motivation is where the. Where the fear comes from, right? So that's something that you just need to completely block out. And the way that you block that out is by getting sold on what it is that you are doing. And it's like lighting a fire. You're not going to have to worry about procrastinating once you do this. And once you get purpose in terms of what it is that you're trying to get to, what's going to happen if you don't get there? And that's going to get you in the state where procrastination, fear, what other people think of you, they just. All that stuff is going to just go away into background noise. And you're going to be sold on exactly what it is that you're doing. So book in time with yourself to get motivated to refresh yourself on your purpose. What happens if you don't reach your potential and where that gap lies? And if you do that routinely and you schedule it in, you will be wildly successful in whatever it is that you choose to do in your life. I hope that helps.
