How to Stop Procrastinating and Unlock More Time, Money, and Freedom with Larisa Makuch
If you’ve been procrastinating more than you’d like—losing focus and feeling stuck—this episode of She is Unstoppable is the breath of fresh air you need.
I sat down with Larisa Makuch, a master results coach, sought-after speaker, and author of Stop Procrastinating Your Life Away: Discover the Secrets to More Time, Money & Freedom. And let me just say—this conversation was packed with aha moments, mindset shifts, and empowering truths that every entrepreneur needs to hear.
Why We Procrastinate (And What to Do About It)
Larisa breaks down the three main reasons why we procrastinate:
- It’s a learned behavior – Often modeled in childhood, we pick up patterns from the people around us.
- It becomes our identity – “I’m just a procrastinator” becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
- It’s simply a habit – One that grows stronger every time we delay the things that matter most.
But the good news? You can unlearn it all.
Larisa shared that procrastination isn’t just about time management—it’s a deeper issue tied to self-image, unconscious beliefs, and how connected we are to our purpose.
The Power of Shifting Identity
One of the most powerful takeaways from this episode was Larisa’s approach to language and identity. If you’ve ever said “I’m a perfectionist” or “I work better under pressure,” Larisa encourages you to pause and reframe.
What follows “I am” matters. Your words reinforce your reality.
Instead of saying, “I’m a procrastinator,” try:
- “I’m becoming more focused every day.”
- “I’m learning how to prioritize what matters most.”
This shift may feel small, but it can completely transform how you show up in your business and life.
From Burnout to Flow: Larisa’s 7-Step Framework
Larisa also touched on the 7-step process from her book that helps entrepreneurs create more clarity, ease, joy, and flow. While we didn’t go through all seven steps in the episode, she emphasized the importance of:
- Getting clear on your vision and purpose
- Managing your energy—not just your time
- Letting go of perfection and leaning into intentional action
When you operate from alignment, your results change. Your income, your relationships, your health—it’s all connected.
Stop Doing “All the Things”
One mic-drop moment? Larisa said this:
“You’re going to have to procrastinate most things in business—because you can’t do everything.”
In other words, the goal isn’t to do more. It’s to do the right things. It’s okay to leave things undone—especially when they don’t align with your purpose or priorities.
