Get Out Of Your Own Way

Have you ever let fear and self-doubt hold you back from launching a new business, or starting a creative project, or leaving a toxic relationship? It feels really defeating, doesn’t it? Like you’re drowning. Trapped. Enslaved.

How many times have you decided to move towards a dream, only to sabotage your own efforts? How often have you let self-doubt, fears, and other limiting beliefs get between you and your goal? What if the path between you and your dream was free and clear of any self-imposed obstacles? What if the only hurdles you had to jump over were real ones, rather than ones you’ve erected yourself? How would that feel?

Free. Liberating. Unshackled. Joyful. Hopeful.
Yeah…

I’m all about teaching people how to live fearlessly and get out of their own way, so they can dream big, release limiting beliefs, be UNAPOLOGETICALLY authentic, have faith, overcome fears, and GO FOR IT. Doing so heals self-defeating wounds in a powerful way, and from this place of genuine healing, you can achieve ANYTHING.

I Believe In Me. I Believe In You.

I’m kind of an oddball when it comes to this issue, because for some reason I can’t quite pinpoint, I’ve always known, deep in the root of me, that I could do anything I decided to do. Those who know me well know I’m about to launch forward towards a dream when I say “Just watch me.” I become like a heat-seeking missile, totally 100 percent focused on achieving whatever I’ve decided I want to pursue. Go to med school? Check. Become full partner? Check. Get married? Have baby? Start website. Publish book? Check. Check. Check. Check.

So What’s The Secret To My Success?

I get out of my own way. Pretty much always have. Not that I don’t have other faults- I do! But I don’t erect self-sabotaging barriers that make achieving my goals harder than they already are.

What do I mean by self-sabotaging barriers? I’m talking about the limiting beliefs and self-defeating behaviors we create that keep our dreams from coming true. Let’s look at the difference between real obstacles and the false ones that exist only in our minds.

Dream Real Obstacle False Obstacles

Going back to school to achieve a professional dream	4 years of grad school training that takes time, costs money, and demands discipline	Limiting belief “You’re not smart enough.” Self-sabotaging behavior: Missing the deadline for the GMAT (or MCAT or LSAT).
Becoming a published author	Getting a literary agent and publisher	Limiting belief “Nobody gets an agent or a publisher. There are too many people with better books.” Self-sabotaging behavior: Never even trying to get an agent or get your book published.
Finding your soulmate	Meeting the right person	Limiting belief “He’s just not out there. I’m going to have to settle.” Self-sabotaging behavior: Dumping your date before he has a chance to dump you.
Starting your own business	Creating a website, finding funding, building clientele	Limiting belief: I can’t afford to start my own business. Self-sabotaging behavior: Not creating the website because you can’t afford a web designer.
