3 Blocks That Sabotage Your Success And What To Do About It

3 Blocks that sabotage

We all know that goal success does not come easy, especially if it’s a big goal.  It takes more than just writing out a clear goal on a piece of paper.  Instead, we have to work our way towards our goals.  Along the way, there are a variety of things that block and hinder success.  Today’s blog outlines three blockages that can sabotage success and five powerful ways I’ve found to overcome them.

Self Sabotage

How many times do you find yourself asking? “Why did I do that?” or Why did I say that?” You know you should have shown up for that job interview; it was your dream job, the job that you have been looking forward to for some time.  Or you should have put your foot down and said no to that slice of chocolate cake as you were on a low-carb diet, but you didn’t.  You know and are aware of what you should have done, but you didn’t do it and defied all logic and reason. But for some reason, you end up sabotaging yourself and doing the opposite.  Why?

Self-sabotage is the process of going out of your way to prevent yourself from achieving your desired goal due to fear, lack of self-confidence,

What’s News: Upcoming Author

Announcement: What's News

What’s News?

Today I’m excited to let you know about my latest exciting news … I’m now the upcoming author of a new book.

Upcoming Author

You may recall that earlier this year I was doing some research on women in their 30s and 40s who have unresolved pains around the whole baby thing.  Well, the exciting news is that I’m now the upcoming author of a book on The Whole Baby Thing (TWBT).  It will be focused on helping women who are facing this modern dilemma of baby or no baby.

I’m passionate about this topic because I know what it’s like to struggle with the whole baby thing.  For those of you who don’t know, I became a mum at 47.  And it took a long time filled witUpcoming Bookh uncertainty and working through different options to get to that point.  I’ll be sharing more of my story in the book.

Not Alone

This issue affects loads of women.  I want them to know that they are not alone, that whatever they think and feel is valid and that all choices are equal (even if they decide not to have a baby or that motherhood is just not for them).  There are many ways to be happy and fulfilled, and it’s up to each woman to figure out what the right decision is for them.

Along with my upcoming book The Whole Baby Thing, I have also put together some other resources to support this particular group of women.

Read more about The Whole Baby Thing and the resources I’ve created by clicking here.

CALL OUT 
Do You, Or Someone You Know,
Have An Inspiring Story To Tell?

One of the things The Whole Baby Thing book will contain is a collection of stories of women who, in their 30s or 40s, successfully navigated the whole baby thing.

So … if you, or someone you know, has an inspiring story to tell, then I’d love to interview you/them.  For more information on my Call Out regarding sharing your inspiring story Click Here.

I look forward to sharing my progress on my upcoming book and podcast on The Whole Baby Thing.

With warm regards

Lisa
