In this episode, Genea exposes the invisible patterns that keep business owners trapped in cycles of overwork and isolation despite their best efforts.

🔹 The paradox that keeps high-achievers stuck doing everything alone

🔹 Why being the "responsible one" in your family might be costing you millions

🔹 The three types of asking that determine whether people show up for you or walk away

🔹 The empowered asking approach that creates abundance instead of obligation

In this episode, Genea Barnes and Anthony Markey unravel the painful myth that's keeping purpose-driven entrepreneurs trapped: the belief that resistance equals laziness.

Anthony, podcast host of "I Know A Guy," reveals how he went from hating parts of his business to discovering his zone of genius in meaningful connections. This conversation offers a permission slip to stop pushing against your nature and start flowing with your purpose.

This episode pulls back the curtain on:

🔹 The crushing moment Anthony realized he wasn't lazy – he was just misaligned with his purpose

🔹 Anthony's journey from self-judgment to working harder than ever – without the resistance

🔹 The unexpected way leading with service rather than sales unlocked Anthony's business potential

🔹 Why your "laziness" might actually be your subconscious protecting you from the wrong path

If you've ever felt guilty about not being "motivated enough" in your business, this episode will give you permission to trust your inner knowing and find the path that energizes rather than drains you.
