12 Ways Women Sabotage Their Success By: Ungenita Katrina Prevost
Do you want to be successful in life and business? Are you willing to do what it takes to make it happen no matter what? I see a lot of women talking about how they want to have it all but they are doing so very little to make it happen. Success takes work. It’s not something you try on one day and decide not to wear the next. It becomes a part of your life you have to make the decision that you will fail over and over because that’s the price you pay for success. Furthermore, successful people fail far more than unsuccessful people. You see, those that succeed would never dare play it safe. Remember risk brings rewards.
If you have been wishing hoping for success. I thought I would give you the steps to avoid so you can stay on course head straight to the top.
Thou Shall Not Barter: So many women give their gifts and talents away for FREE. I noticed that bartering is not in the male vocabulary. Ladies you must set up your business for profit otherwise it’s just a hobby.
Mindset For Success: Before you make up your face it’s important you makeover your mind. Take control of your life by focusing on the success you wish to garner. You are what you think. It’s time you think highly of yourself and your life!
U.B.S. – I can’t tell you how many women I meet with an Ugly Belief System. Yes, I once suffered from this but self limiting beliefs will sabotage you every time. Let go of doubt, fear worry. If you start to believe in yourself you can move through life with ease grace. If you believe you can turn those stumbling blocks into stepping stones, you can!
Worrying About What Other People Think Syndrome- Ouch, I know it’s a touchy subject but what other people think of you is none of your business. Let it go. Believe in yourself in a bold beautiful way and don’t worry about what anyone else has to say.
Lack of Passion- What does love have to do with it? Everything…when you are passionate you will have the drive, energy determination to make your dreams come true. It’s also fun when what you do is fueled by passion. Do what you love and success will easily come.
Aiming With No Target- You must be focused like a bullet in flight to get what you want out of life. So if you don’t know what you want how are you supposed to get it. I ask so many women what are your goals. Many can’t answer that question. Take the time to write your goals (where you want to live, what type of business you want to have, customers you wish to serve, what hobbies interest you, what type of friends you wish to have and what is your ideal family life). When you write it down you can make it happen!
Bright Shiny Object Syndrome- This is my favorite. I see so many women following trends instead of staying on course moving forward. They are easily distracted with the latest and greatest which isn’t a model for success.
Ms. Wishy/Washy- Indecision is a form of self-abuse. If you are constantly going back and forth about what you want to do in life. It’s time to get clarity. Without clarity you can’t get very far. It will leave you in limbo. Not pretty!Value/Self-Worth- Value starts on the inside and when you are aligned with your values you can live in alignment. If you’re not feeling well or your life doesn’t reflect a pretty picture. Chances are you are off-balance due to living without your values. Get out a sheet of people and write down your core-values. You will be amazed!
Afraid To Ask- I see so many women that are afraid to ask for what they want. They are afraid to ask for a raise, ask for the sale or ask for help. If you don’t ask you shall not receive. It’s time to speak up in a bold beautiful way.
Discounting- I’ve had enough of the countless women discounting themselves 50 % OFF. So many women have let themselves go. I hear the excuses I don’t have enough time or money. The better you look, the better you will feel the more success you will attract. Put forth the effort to make a first class impression every day. Please don’t treat your life like it’s a dress rehearsal.
R.O.I. – How can you expect to get the most out of life if you aren’t willing to invest in your life? It’s time you invest in yourself. Leverage your time, leverage your money…it’s time to leverage your inner/outer assets. One of the most lucrative investments you can make is investing in self. Zero Risk High Return. You will always appreciate.
