451: The 3 Keys to Ending Self Sabotage and Achieving Your Goals
Manage episode 485776333 series 1083307
In this Episode:
In this episode of the Achieve Results Now podcast, Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt tackle the pervasive issue of self-sabotage, particularly how it prevents individuals from achieving their goals, even when working hard. They argue that self-sabotage often manifests as focusing on low-priority tasks, fearing big challenges, and making excuses, rather than taking high-value actions.
They propose three action steps to overcome self-sabotage:
1. Set Yourself Up for Success with Small, Intentional Changes: The hosts emphasize breaking down seemingly overwhelming tasks into tiny, manageable steps. They advocate for not assigning difficulty to tasks and scheduling even short, 15-minute high-priority actions to ensure they get done. Preparation, like having materials ready, is also crucial to prevent small hurdles from becoming excuses.
2. Challenge and Reframe Your Inner Dialogue: This step focuses on confronting negative self-talk and imposter syndrome. The hosts suggest asking empowering questions like "Is someone less capable than me doing this right now?" and actively replacing negative thoughts with positive ones. They highlight the importance of reframing past experiences and setting aspirational goals based on future potential, not past limitations. Surrounding yourself with inspiring individuals and mentors who have achieved what you aspire to is also vital.
3. Practice Self-Compassion and Build Resilience: Acknowledging that setbacks are a natural part of any journey is key. The hosts stress the importance of not judging yourself harshly for minor slip-ups but instead treating yourself with the same compassionate yet direct advice you'd offer a friend. They emphasize focusing on "progress, not perfection," looking back at how far you've come rather than only at the distant goal, to build mental and physical strength to take on more challenges.
Ultimately, the episode encourages listeners to confront their internal barriers, take deliberate small actions, and foster a resilient mindset to achieve life-shifting results.
