Self-Sabotage
"We have met the enemy. It is us"- Unknown
It is interesting that one of the least talked about aspects of success is sabotage. Yup! In hundreds of hours of podcasts that I have listened to I have only heard one CEO talk about it.
Why?
Well some people fear failure. Others fear success. And now I want to identify a third type: one who gets overcomes failure to get to success and then drives it down into failure.
This does not have to be an entrepreneur. It could be an employee who is hot one year and out the next year. Great performer one year and then on list of bottom performers.
I do not think it is a fear of the level. It could be boredom. They have reached the level and know that they can get there again quickly. So there is nothing to lose. It is almost a need to fail in order to show people that they can get to that level and higher again.
Today's question is:
"Do you self sabotage?"
