Episode 4351 day ago
Why Your Excuses Are Holding You Back What if the biggest thing standing between you and success isn’t your circumstances, your competition, or your limitations… but the excuses you’ve accepted as truth? In this episode of Deep Leadership, I sit down with Patrick Engasser, bestselling author, business coach, motivational speaker, and former top-performing sales leader. Patrick has been blind since birth, yet he built a remarkable career leading sales teams, coaching entrepreneurs, and helping leaders achieve extraordinary results. Patrick shares how he transformed what many would see as a limitation into a competitive advantage, why mindset always comes before strategy, and how leaders can stop letting obstacles define their future. We also discuss the power of relationships, the importance of leading by example, and why people follow leaders who do hard things when no one is watching. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or limited by your circumstances, this conversation will challenge the way you think about adversity and inspire you to take action. In this episode, you’ll learn: • How to turn your biggest challenge into your greatest advantage • Why mindset must change before results can change • The hidden cost of excuses in leadership and life • How great leaders build trust through relationships • Why people follow actions, not words • Practical habits that help high performers stay focused and resilient • How to lead yourself before leading others Patrick’s story is a powerful reminder that our limitations rarely determine our future. The stories we tell ourselves do.
