This Month’s Speaker & Topic
Capacity, Not Motivation: A Practical Way Through Procrastination with Jenna Bretti
As an entrepreneur, you’re constantly navigating change and change can often breed procrastination.
Here’s what I’ve learned through my own lived experience: you may not actually have a motivation problem. You may be dealing with an emotional capacity problem.
Sometimes, your brain is simply trying to protect you from doing the hard, uncertain, or scary thing.
I know this because I’ve spent the last five years navigating intense personal and professional change, ultimately building my own six-figure Fractional VP business and becoming the owner of YBB Connect. Along the way, I’ve learned firsthand that knowing what you need to do and having the capacity to move through the discomfort of doing it are two very different things.
Motivation is a feeling you wait for. Capacity is a skill you build through practice.
In this Mastermind, we’ll explore the many disguises of avoidance including the ones that can look responsible, productive, or even strategic in the moment, but ultimately keep you stuck.
We’ll also explore practical ways to build your emotional capacity so that when you’re faced with overwhelm, uncertainty, or the discomfort of making your next big move, you can recognize what’s really happening and respond intentionally.
Are you pausing because you’re avoiding something uncomfortable? Or are you making a deliberate choice to pause because you’re building the capacity to navigate the change in front of you?
The goal isn’t to force yourself to push through every uncomfortable moment. The goal is to develop the awareness to know the difference and to build enough trust in yourself to take the next right step.
What to Expect
Each Mastermind features a guest speaker sharing real, lived experience, either from their own entrepreneurial journey or their area of specialty. Every guest is vetted by our team beforehand, so you're always learning from someone who's actually done the thing they're teaching, not just studied it.
Expect practical takeaways you can apply immediately, not abstract theory, but real strategy alongside mindset-shifting perspective on both life and business. There's always room for questions, so you leave with something specific to your business.
Can't make it live? No problem, every session is recorded, so you can catch up whenever it works for you.
Why You Should Join
Real Strategy, Not Recycled Advice. Every guest expert brings something they've actually lived through, a strategy that worked, a mistake that taught them something, a shift that changed their business. This isn't generic content. It's specific, actionable, and worth your time.
Learn Once, Apply for Months. Members who show up consistently often point back to one Mastermind session as the moment something clicked, a new approach to marketing, a mindset shift, a strategy they still use today.
Stay Sharp, Not an Expert at Everything. You became an entrepreneur to share your skill, your talent, the thing you're actually good at, not because you already had marketing, finances, and strategy figured out too. Midday Mastermind fills in the gaps, one real strategy at a time, so you can keep doing what you love without having to become an expert at everything else along the way.
Never Miss It. Life gets busy. If you can't make the live session, the recording means you never lose access to what was shared.
