Have you ever been aware that you were self sabotaging?

You finally decide to do "the thing" you’ve been wanting to do for what seems like forever. 

Tomorrow, your life will change! 

And then, tomorrow comes, but you don’t change. You are stuck and you have no idea why. 

This is self-sabotage.

And, it's also a brand new book we recently published with author Jennie Potter. 

We'll tell you a little about it, but first an excerpt:

EXCERPT from "Self Sabotage No More": 

When I was about 12 years old, my father took me on a two-night overnight stay in Mexico. He was a commercial pilot for one of the big airlines and treated me to the trip. The airplane we were on was a typical commercial jet. To make things even more exciting, I got to sit in the cockpit.

It was an uneventful flight and so much fun just sitting in the jump seat staring at the big blue sky and beautiful clouds. 

It came time for us to begin our approach. Suddenly, an alarm went off, along with a computerized female voice I will never forget:

“Pull up, pull up. Terrain ahead, terrain ahead.”

My dad spoke to me calmly but firmly: “JJ, do NOT speak.” 

I sat there, quiet as a mouse. 

I was at that age where I believed in my dad so completely, that I wasn’t really scared.  He was larger than life and could fix anything. 

But still, the alarm would not turn off. 

“PULL UP, PULL UP. TERRAIN AHEAD, TERRAIN AHEAD.”

As I peered out the window of the cockpit at miles of empty sky before us, it was clear there was nothing ahead—but the plane was on autopilot—it was a glitch, a malfunction—and they could not shut off the alarm.  

Suddenly, my dad announced: “We are going manual!”

With that, he shut down the computer and he and his co-pilot flew the plane “old school,” which meant they had complete control of the aircraft without the computer.

My dad had thousands of hours of experience on every kind of airplane you can think of. 

He did what we are going to talk about in the coming sections. 

He had to turn everything off and find another way.

The truth is that many of us have been flying on autopilot for a very long time. 

We’re in the same patterns, same setpoints, same thoughts, same flight path, same destination, same unprocessed emotions… in a way, it’s the same day, over and over. When we try and do something out of the routine our alarm goes off. 

It’s a malfunction. It’s a glitch. 

A false alarm.

But it goes off nevertheless, and we adhere. The usual program requires much less energy than the “detour” we want to take.

Frankly, the original destination was probably picked a long, long time ago by your 7-to-12-year-old-self, and you have been headed there ever since. 

In her absorbing and fast-paced book, Jennie Potter shares tools and techniques for ending the debilitating effects of self-sabotage. 

It’s not about massive self-discipline, enduring pain, or forcing yourself to become someone that you aren’t. (We admire David Goggins but we're never gonna be him!)

The reasons are much deeper.

It's not just you "lacking motivation" or some other surface level issue. Often it's programming from way earlier. 

A "glitch" as Jennie says. 

“Self Sabotage No More” is the mindsets and methods that Jennie’s been sharing and using with clients to great success and transformational results. 

If you are baffled about why you procrastinate, create roadblocks, or give up on things you truly want so badly, this book could be exactly what you need to stop the struggle.
