Sue looks into the concept of self-sabotage and provides four simple ways to overcome it and stop hindering progress towards life goals. She discusses common self-sabotaging behaviours such as imposter syndrome, procrastination, perfectionism, and compulsive spending, attributing them to a comfort zone determined by a "temperature gauge."

Sue also examines the importance of tackling limiting beliefs, practicing self-love, addressing the fear of success or loss, and changing habits to achieve personal growth. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Recognise traits like imposter syndrome, procrastination, perfectionism, bad habits, and compulsive spending as forms of self-sabotage.
• Use questions to reframe limiting beliefs by questioning their truth, absolute certainty, impact on reactions, and envisioning oneself without those beliefs.
• Build mental strength and resilience by fostering self-love, empowering oneself with positive affirmations, and setting boundaries to prevent disempowering behaviours.
• Overcome the fear of success by acknowledging and managing how changes in oneself may affect relationships and how others perceive those changes.
• Develop small, easy-to-implement habits aligned with personal values, celebrate small wins, and gradually increase goals to shift out of the comfort zone and combat self-sabotage.

BEST MOMENTS

I’m a successful career mum turned entrepreneur (soon to be author..) and speaker. 

I was one of a few corporate women in tech who was successful to reach a level before hitting my head firmly on the glass ceiling. All while I was constantly having to choose between my kids and my career.  I was burnt out, overwhelmed and unfulfilled.

I wasn’t living, I was surviving and this outdated corporate career path wasn’t serving anyone. 

I took everything I learnt about systems, data and technology and created my first online business empowering leaders through training, webinars and coaching. Before finally accepting my calling to help others escape the outdated 9-5 and create a business that works for their life. Leveraging mindset and technology.
