Stop Self Sabotaging!

Young Boss with Isabelle Guarino

Let’s face it—your biggest obstacle isn’t the competition, market trends, or even the economy. It’s you. In this episode, we dive into the uncomfortable truth about self-sabotage, performance anxiety, and the paralyzing effects of perfectionism. If you’ve hesitated to launch an idea or doubted your capabilities, you’re not alone—and it’s time to get out of your own way.

I’ve been there—paralyzed by performance anxiety, second-guessing my abilities, and avoiding opportunities for fear of failing. But, I learned that fear thrives on inaction. The key is to shift your mindset. Start by celebrating small wins, practicing positive self-talk, and visualizing success. Most importantly, take that first imperfect step because progress beats perfection every time.

Every entrepreneur wrestles with self-doubt at some point. It might show up as a voice whispering that your idea isn’t good enough or the perfectionism that keeps you endlessly planning instead of executing. These mental roadblocks can feel overwhelming, but recognizing their stranglehold is the first step to breaking free.

We also touch on imposter syndrome—a feeling up to 82% of us experience. It’s natural to question your abilities, but letting that doubt control you? That’s your own choice. We unpack how to acknowledge those feelings, embrace them as part of growth, and ultimately move forward with confidence.

So, how do we win this battle? By consistently showing up. Setting intentional routines, reviewing your goals, and rewiring your mindset. Success isn’t about never failing; it’s about not letting failure stop you.
