I need you to miss a sale if I'm the adversary.

I just need someone to say something mean or negative to you.

I just need a couple letdowns to happen.

If I can get you discouraged, you'll sabotage the rest of it for me if I'm the adversary.

So people that sabotage themselves, they get discouraged.

And what discouraged mean is they lack courage.

So the antidote to that is to stay courageous, is to feel fear and step into it anyway, is to feel the rejection and move forward, is to have the sale not won or the close not happen and learn from it and grow from it rather than be discouraged from it.

So the fifth thing is people that sabotage themselves get discouraged.

The sixth thing they do, they get distracted.

They don't focus on the things they can control and they get distracted.

They get distracted by...

Social media, they get distracted by the media.

They get distracted by what other people are doing.

They get distracted by habits that don't serve them.

One thing I would encourage you to do is make a list of the things that typically distract you.

There's three or four things that constantly distract you from where you're going or what you want.

If you're in a relationship, maybe it's being distracted with other people.

If you're in business, it's being distracted with the media or social media.

It may be in the gym and you're not training as hard as you want to because you're distracted by watching television instead of getting up and going for your workout.

Whatever the thing is that distracts you, make a list of those things and do everything you can to eliminate or reduce them and self-sabotage.
