When it comes to achieving what we want, the biggest barriers are the ones we place upon ourselves. This is especially true for high achievers.

We can fall into the trap of imposter syndrome and feeling unworthy. We can second guess ourselves out of our own greatness. We can subconsciously set ourselves up to lose even if we say we want to win.

If we don’t think of success the right way and set goals accordingly, we’ll suffocate under the very thing we wanted. Ultimately, we can only rise as high as our level of inner conflict about things, so how do we remove that friction?

What are the biggest psychological traps we set for themselves and how do we escape them? Why is it critical to learn to take credit for our wins? In this episode, I’m joined by the author of 14 books including ‘Get Off Your "But" and Make It Happen!’ and business coach, Jonathan Sprinkles. He talks about how to become the person you would be if you weren’t doubting yourself.

If you’re not prepared for the blessing, you’re going to suffocate under it. -Jonathan Sprinkles

Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

-Own your successes

Successful people are taught to never take credit for their accomplishments - “make it about the team”. Can that trigger imposter syndrome? How can we own our wins without being arrogant?

-How to live without limits

Losing can be as addictive as winning if we build our identity around it. How do people keep attracting losses, even though they say they don’t want them?

-The power of the word “or”

If we don’t set goals the right way, they can quickly turn into self-imposed ceilings when we achieve them faster than expected. How do we set goals from the start without limiting ourselves?
