Watching colleagues and clients engage in self-sabotage is PAINFUL to witness. So much that I wish I could SHAKE them out of it.

The truth is they have to experience their own journey. Much of my own self-coaching goes towards letting go of my frustration around it. Allowing the sabotage to happen (because….I can’t control it, like my brain seems to think, anyway).

But, what I can do, is speak to you, and give you the key indicator to self-sabotage. So you can look for it. Be VERY aware of it. And not give in to it.

What’s the key indicator? It always disguises itself as truth.

You’ll see everyone and everything around you as proof of its truth. The evidence will stockpile around you so quickly…you will make the WORST decisions for your business, trying to reverse this terrible truth that has happened.

You will:

• Wallow in self-pity.
• Beat yourself up.
• Chase shiny objects (new niches, raised prices, fancy website, Fb Ads, new coaches)
• Compare and despair everywhere you turn.
• Try and teach your audience all the lessons you learn on your “struggle” and the “journey of growth”.
• Stop Investing.

You’ll try to come up with new marketing ideas and tactics. (Something concrete other than belief…because your belief will be the absolute last thing you think is the problem or solution.)

Most importantly you’ll hide from the people who could give you the straight-up truth and tell you exactly what you are doing to yourself.

And you are only self-sabotaging, because of ONE thing.

The thought, “I should be further along”.

It shows up like, “I should be at six (or seven) figures already”.

“Things should be happening faster.” OR “Things are moving too slow”.

That belief system, and all the different forms it takes, will STOP your growth in its tracks.

As the coach on the outside, I see the path to success all laid out. And then I see my clients start walking in the weeds. I know if they were to get out of the weeds, they would be back on track to success.

I see them give up amazing opportunities for so much money in the future, because of that belief.

It’s incredibly frustrating.

Here is what I want to offer you: Self-sabotage isn’t a part of “growth”. You don’t have to go through it. Believing that is part of the problem. The struggle really isn’t necessary.

What if when self-sabotaging behaviors happen, you looked at these distinct behaviors, and you said aloud to yourself with deep honesty, “I am self-sabotaging”.

Because lying to yourself about this just keeps you in the cycle. I have seen this derail entire years of dietitian business owners. I have seen dietitians miss the six-figure mark when it was right there for them.

And it doesn’t have to be that way.

So today, look around for where you think you should be further along. Where things should be happening faster.

And look at all the decisions you want to make in reaction to that.

Get very clear and very aware.

And then..run in the opposite direction.

You are exactly where you are supposed to be, my friend.

All you need to do from here is to keep an eye on your decision-making and keep moving forward!
