7 ways self-sabotage is ruining your business
This week I got a call from an old client, an HR business owner.
“I think I’m self-sabotaging and I can’t stop it”
She was so frustrated, and kicking herself because she was no rookie.
She’d nailed her vision, her values and she had a cracking service offering.
And yet – she couldn’t quite break through a plateau.
Every time it looked like it was certain this time, she was going to bust through to a new level, something would happen, and she’d be right back where she’d started.
And she was tenacious – she knew how to pick herself back up and get on the horse.
But it was getting harder and harder, and she was losing the faith.
She was 100% right – it was self-sabotage at play.
This is the story of what we did to get her to recognise how she was self-sabotaging, why she was doing it – and what to do about it.
Are you self sabotaging?
Today I’d like to open up the topic of self-sabotage.
If you self-sabotage, you might say things like:
Why do I always mess things up?
Of course that wouldn’t last, it wasn’t the right time
I knew they’d made the wrong choice, picking me
I knew I shouldn’t celebrate that thing, I’ve totally jinxed it
Today’s conversation is all about that self-sabotage – why we do it, what it might look like for you, and some real life case studies from clients.
