I actually never realized it... but I learned about this when I was listening to a TV interview about this millionaire.

He said that we are not aware that self sabotage is one of the biggest reasons why startups fail.

That got me thinking...

Years ago, when I decided to lose weight - I stopped exercising and dieting after I lost 15 lbs. Why? Self Sabotage!

I started a blog a while back and decided to offer business coaching. After a week, I got an email from an interested student. But I never pursued it. Why? Self Sabotage!

When I was new to entrepreneurship, I would read books and articles. Then, I would apply them to my business. I actually made money from the things that I learned, but eventually I stopped. I continued to read books and articles, and decided not to focus on the business. Why? Self Sabotage!

I tried observing my friends, and I noticed the same thing. I have a friend who did yoga... and after he lost 10 lbs, he decided to go back to his old ways... Self Sabotage!

I have another friend whom I taught how to do business. When he was seeing returns, he immediately wanted to stop doing business, and just create a new business... Self Sabotage!

Why do we choose to sabotage ourselves?

The real cause is LIMITING BELIEFS. Despite reading about millionaires, deep inside, we still lack the confidence to pick up the phone, meet with corporations, close deals. Doing so makes us uncomfortable, and that's why we go back to our old ways.

But the truth is...

YOU deserve to be successful
YOU deserve to get a caring girlfriend/boyfriend
YOU deserve to have a great body
YOU deserve to have a happy life
YOU deserve that dream house
YOU deserve that car that you've been drooling for all these years
YOU deserve to travel the world
YOU deserve to be a MILLIONAIRE!

Don't let your LIMITING BELIEFS sabotage what you live for.

Self Sabotage ends now.
