Are you lost? Or are you on the path of ‘not here’?

The problem with making ourselves wrong for our choices is we pour our attention there…

“How did I get here?!”
“What’s wrong with me?”
“Why can’t I get this right?”

With your focus there you lose sight of your option to choose again.

Life isn’t a pass /fail exam. It’s a choose your own adventure story.

If you’re not loving where you are, you’re not lost, you’re learning more about where you don’t want to be.

You’re either in the path of “here” or “not here”, but either way, you’re on your path.

We’ve very good at focusing on problems that help us avoid things we’re scared of.

Don’t ask “how do I solve this problem” until you’ve honestly answered “what am I getting out of keeping it?”

Depending who you talk to, F45 is either the best or worst thing out.

What do I think?

Eight years ago it fulfilled my needs ideally. I needed something convenient, quick and low cost.

I wanted to get fit and lean. At the time I wasn’t aiming to get strong or learn advanced techniques.

Plus, it had a fun culture with good vibes.

For my purposes, it was fantastic…

To me, F45 is like group leadership training.

Accessible to a large number of people,
A great opportunity to build culture,
Low barrier to entry investment.

It can help you quickly and simply improve your fundamentals. If you want to learn about leadership, it will do that.

But just like F45 alone isn’t going to make you a top athlete, help you master technique or get you lifting solid kg’s…

Group training and free workshops aren’t going to:

* Make you prime C-Suite material,
* Turn you into a masterful influencer
* Help you build the self awareness of a peak performer

What would an athlete do?

Hire a coach.

What do the best executives do?

Hire a coach.

Reality is, if you do what everyone else does, you’re going to get what everyone has.

Want to achieve above average results? Choose an above average approach.

5 Sneaky Ways High-Achievers Sabotage Their Success

1. Believing sacrifice of wellbeing is the price of success, so unconsciously resisting more achievement to avoid more suffering.

2. Clinging to self-doubt for your “edge,” not realizing it’s actually blunting your potential.

3. Letting modesty hide your brilliance, while poor boundaries lead others to undervalue your time.

4. Doing so much for everyone that you entrap yourself in your position, breeding resentment towards those you’re serving.

5. Passively waiting for deserved opportunities, forgetting that even merit needs a voice.

As a coach working with classic over-achievers, I’ve seen these patterns play out a gazillion times.

Here’s what I want you to know...

Your high integrity and sense of responsibility *are* superpowers. These qualities are part of what makes you an invaluable colleague, brilliant leader, and a wonderful friend.

But as in all of life’s paradoxes, our greatest strengths can become our greatest weaknesses.

The purpose of illuminating these blind spots is NOT to criticize, but to understand. Because once you see these patterns clearly, they can stop being saboteurs and start being signposts towards growth.
