"You can't do that!"..."That way too difficult!"... "No one cares what I have to say!"

Have you ever said these things to yourself?

Let me tell you it took me 65 years and numerous coaching session to finally realize why every time I was on the edge of success, something would happen to snatch it away.

What I learned was that many of us have some form of self-sabotaging trait that holds us back from achieving our goals.

In my cast, my sabotage was my fear of having to perform. I always knew I could do anything I put my mind to, and even could strategically map out how I would achieve it. However, every time I would reach the finish line, something happened to snatch it away.

My fear that once I crossed the finish line I would have to perform is what held me back. I knew I would have to deliver on what I had been promising and that scared me to death.

Does this sound familiar? If so...
