“You will crash and you will burn and you won’t even know why.”

Nicky's coming in hot with this Thought Leader Nugget. This episode is all about the three stages of business disasters waiting to happen: the *Oh Shit Zone* (where you're flat broke and panicking), the *Apathy Zone* (aka the “meh” zone where everything’s just *blah*), and the *Hubris Zone* (aka “I’m untouchable, right?”—wrong).

Turns out, the hubris zone is the most dangerous of them all because it’s where you think you've got it all figured out. Spoiler alert: you don't. But don’t worry, Nicky’s got the solution—action, action, action. He’s also teamed up with the legendary Marc von Musser for the 100 Day Sprint, which is basically like 75 Hard for your business. You do daily reach-outs, calls, emails, podcasts, and referrals until you're out of the danger zones and back to winning.

The hubris zone is where your ego goes to party, but your business pays the price. Stop waiting for some miracle to shake things up—get reconnected to your why and start hustling. Daily action steps = $$$. That’s math.

Remember:

1. Be honest: Are you stuck in one of these danger zones, and are you ready to admit it?

2. What’s one thing you can do *today* to get out of your comfort zone and into growth mode?

3. Think you’re ready for the 100 Day Sprint? Time to level up or keep coasting.
