Self-Sabotaging Behaviors That Keep You From Earning What You’re Worth

Self-sabotage is something that affects all of us, no matter how successful we may be. These behaviors can be incredibly costly, leading to a decrease in income, a drop in self-esteem, and a significant hit to your confidence. The result? Frustration, burnout, and even resentment toward your clients or your business. This downward spiral can be devastating, but the good news is that you can stop it in its tracks by recognizing the symptoms and taking action. Here are some common self-sabotaging behaviors that might be keeping you from earning what you're worth.

Procrastination

Have you ever meant to apply for that great coaching program but missed the deadline? Or perhaps you delayed sending a proposal to a potential client until it was too late? Maybe you waited too long to buy a new tool that could have boosted your business. These missed opportunities are often the result of procrastination, one of the most destructive habits we all struggle with.

Procrastination can keep you working late to meet deadlines, cost you money in late fees, and even cause you to lose business. If you’re prone to procrastination, here are a few techniques to help you overcome it:

• Recognize your fear: Often, procrastination stems from fear. You might fear that even with the help of an amazing coach, you won’t reach your goals, so you put off applying. Or you might worry that your proposal won’t measure up, so you avoid sending it. The key is to acknowledge these fears and push through them by taking action anyway.
• Visualize your success: Imagine what it would be like to run the business you’ve always dreamed of. Picture your ideal workday, daydream about that fabulous vacation you’ll take, and imagine working with your ideal clients. Visualization can motivate you to take the necessary steps.
• Reward yourself: Give yourself an incentive for getting things done. Whether it’s treating yourself to lunch, buying a new pair of shoes, or taking an afternoon off, find what motivates you and use it as a reward for overcoming procrastination.

Failing to Complete Your Projects

How many half-written books, partially planned programs, and unfinished products are sitting on your hard drive right now? If you’re like many entrepreneurs, the answer is probably more than a few. You started these projects with enthusiasm, planned everything out, and then…stopped.

Maybe you tell yourself you’re too busy, that you need to do more research, or that you’ve lost interest. But often, the real reason is a lack of confidence. This self-sabotaging habit can prevent you from reaching the success you deserve.

Consider this: You can’t know how successful a program will be if you never finish it, and you can’t improve on something you’ve never released. Instead of letting unfinished projects pile up, commit to completing them. Even if they aren’t perfect, and even if you doubt they’ll sell, put them out into the world. You might be surprised by the results.
