Procrastination Proof: Never Get Stuck Again with Jon Acuff
We live in the age of endless excuses. Complicated projects, overwhelming to-do lists, and impossible timelines give us perfect reasons to put things off. But what if procrastination isn't really about time management or task difficulty? What if it's about something much simpler and more profound?
To find the answer, New York Times Bestselling Jon Acuff commissioned research with PhD Mike Peasley, surveying 3,000 people about living up to their potential. The results were staggering: 96% of people said they were not living up to their full potential. But if everyone knows they're capable of more, what is everyone waiting for?
The answer came down to one word that kept appearing everywhere—from boardrooms to research papers, from airplane conversations to popular movies. Everyone is waiting for permission.
Through hilarious stories, and actionable ideas, Jon unveils the four permissions that successful teams and individuals give themselves to beat procrastination and accomplish amazing success.
This is an on-demand, virtual event. You will be emailed a link to the recording on May 1st and you will be able to use that link and watch the recording as many times as you'd like through May 31st, 2026.
