Famous Tom, Mike Ferry phrase. It's the little voice in your head that makes you doubt yourself. 

I have it in my goals & read it everyday 'watch the drunk money'.

Good explanation about the "drunk monkey" I think I usually have a couple of monkeys on my shoulder. It sounds bad bit i need to work on that.

Anything holding us back from thinking and acting 'out of the box'. I keep kicking the drunk monkey, but he is not responding. Any recommendations?

It is a KW term that means that you allow doubts and fears to stand in the way of your success.
