Inspiration doesn't always strike, and how to find motivation can be confusing. Stop waiting for the perfect moment.

The answer? Shia LaBeouf was right... Just Do It.

How many times have you told yourself "I'll start when I feel motivated"? If you're waiting for that perfect moment of inspiration to strike, you're going to be waiting forever. Step outside your comfort zone to foster personal growth and build resilience.

The harsh truth is that motivation isn't coming to rescue you... it's waiting for you to make the first move.

After surviving cancer at 23 and rebuilding his life from scratch, Motivational Speaker Bart Walsh learned something that changed everything: action creates motivation, not the other way around.

In this episode of Built Resilient, Bart will show you exactly why our brains confuse comfort with safety and how this comfort crisis is quietly destroying your progress.

You'll discover the psychology behind momentum and learn my proven three-step framework that he has used with countless clients to break through stagnation and encourage personal growth.

Here are 5 key takeaways you can expect from this episode on building momentum through action:

1. Understand why waiting for motivation is a trap and how the behavior activation loop actually works in your brain.

2. Learn to shrink your goals into embarrassingly small first steps that eliminate resistance.

3. Discover how to anchor actions to identity rather than outcomes for lasting change.

4. Master the art of rewarding effort over results to build unshakeable confidence.

5. Break free from the comfort crisis by choosing meaningful discomfort that builds resilience and personal growth.
