MYTHS ABOUT THE MOST SUCCESSFUL.
Myths about the most successful:
🤞🏼 Successful people are full of self-confidence and have high self-worth
🤞🏼 Success erases fear and uncertainty
🤞🏼Success demands perfection
🤞🏼Success means you have all of the answers.
🤞🏼Success is inextricably linked to happiness.
My reality when working with successful people as a mediator, coach and consultant is:
👉🏻 Overanalyze Decisions: Get caught in a cycle of overthinking and second-guessing every decision, leading to indecision, delays, and missed opportunities.
👉🏻Don't Delegate: Believing that no one else can do the job as well as you can, thinking that if you ask for help, it shows you are incompetent, and others will find out.
👉🏻Perfectionism: Set impossible standards for themselves and others, fearing that anything less than perfect will result in failure, criticism, or rejection....leading them to procrastinate and boost unproductivity ( lost profits).
👉🏻Neglect Relationships: Pursuing success leads them to prioritize professional goals over nurturing meaningful relationships, resulting in loneliness and regret as personal connections deteriorate.
👉🏻Overwork: Working long hours with a relentless dedication to professional goals leads them to overwork and neglect their need for rest and rejuvenation, perpetuating a cycle of exhaustion leading to burnout and diminished performance.
👉🏻Comparing Themselves to Others: Constantly compare themselves to peers or competitors, feeling inadequate or inferior, which erodes self-confidence and breeds insecurity.
The reality is that successful people struggle with a lack of confidence and low self-worth despite their external achievements.
What is the cost?
😫 Lost profits
😫Never enjoy their success
😫 Isolation
😫 Poor performances
😫 Burnout and exhaustion
😫 Emotional and mental turmoil
😫 Difficulty coping with failure, criticism or rejection.
😫Limited personal, professional and business development and growth
External success dazzles, but authentic success is the fusion of confidence and self-worth with external achievements.
Embrace both for greatness.
