There Is A Reason Capable People Get In Their Own Way

I've sat with people from all over the world, with every goal and ambition imaginable. Some wanted to build a business. Some wanted more freedom, a better relationship, a healthier body, a bigger impact, or simply the confidence to finally do the thing they had been thinking about for years.

I've lived it too.

I know what it is to want something deeply, to know exactly what you want, and still find yourself creating the same results. That question has followed me for most of my life.

Why do capable people keep getting in their own way?

Years later, it was Bob Proctor who gave me the answer to that question.

Most people already know what to do, yet they don't do it. And they wonder why they keep creating the same results.

The reason for that is that our actions don't originate in our conscious mind. They originate in patterns that already exist in our subconscious mind. Those patterns include how we think, feel, decide, act, talk, dress and see ourselves.

Research shows roughly 95% of those patterns are habitual. We simply do what we always do without giving it any thought at all.

If you look at it from this point of view, it makes sense that if we keep operating from those patterns, we keep taking the same actions. And if we keep taking the same actions, we will keep getting the same results.

This is why I'm so passionate about facilitating Thinking Into Results.

As a certified Proctor Gallagher consultant, I've worked with people from different countries, backgrounds and industries, helping them apply these ideas to their own lives.

And why does that work? Because people feel seen, not judged, understood without pity, so instead of defending themselves, they step outside their own story for a moment and look at what's actually there.

What they believe, do, avoid and want. What's helping and what for sure isn't.

And from there, they begin to see themselves differently, take different actions, and therefore create different results.
