These symptoms begin to go away.

Remember, these are the symptoms of the greater disease of the thermostat and the illusion of control.

And then seven.

Believe it or not, one thing that people do that gets a lot of self-sabotage in their life is they get a little bit of success.

They just get a taste of success.

And that taste of success, they cool it.

In other words, if it's in their business life, they get a little bit of progress.

They get a promotion at their job.

Or if they own a business, they've grown their income.

They're at a level they were never at before.

Just a little bit of success, man, you'll start to sabotage things a little bit.

I'm amazed when I watch this, but people that get a little bit of progress in their business, and then they cool it.

They don't make the same effort that got them that little bit of success.

Let me say that to you again.

The very thing, the effort you made, the behavior, the relentless pursuit that got you that little taste of success, you stop doing or reduce the amount of the thing that got you the success in the first place.

And now you're sabotaging the very success you got.

Believe it or not, one of the big instigators of self-sabotage is a little bit of progress, a little bit of success.

You cool it.

Literally, you cool down your life with the thermostat setting.

That term, Dan, don't cool it, doesn't just mean stop your activity.
