Um, the challenges it presents when you've become a highly successful people pleaser are probably more challenging to overcome because there's, there's more at stake. Um, and your belief system, but I mentioned this earlier is, you know, Beliefs drive behavior. Behavior creates environment. But beliefs are built through reinforcement.
So you've spent 20 years reinforcing this people-pleasing as a way of living, and you then have convinced yourself that if I don't make everyone happy, I'm going to go broke. So in the highly successful people-pleasers, that's where we start to see that burnout component. well, fuck, I'm just an ATM machine.

And I think it's more challenging in the way that you have to literally redefine your relationship with probably the two highest value things in your life, which are your family and money.

And I think it's more challenging in the way that you have to literally redefine your relationship with probably the two highest value things in your life, which are your family and money.
And that's really hard. Um, you know, I really like money. I like making lots of money. I like spending money. I like going out to nice dinners. Like I'm a dude who likes stuff and I don't like stuff, but I like experiences and they're usually not cheap.

And, you know, so that's the benefit in it, of course, is that you can then prioritize things that you actually like, but your relationship with money has to change. And, uh, I think it was on your show that Jordan Peterson said about getting sober that you have to change everything. You have to change who you hang out with. You have to change your entire social strata. All of it has to change.

That's very true with the people. Now that I think about it, it's probably more challenging. It requires a lot more resources and a lot more time because you have a lot more invested in it. The cool thing, though, With the highly successful variety. So my, my clients between, you know, like 35 and 55, you know, making a quarter million plus a year.

And it's, it's like a moment, it's a moment of clarity. So like with people that are not quite at that level that are kind of moving up, you know, my 28 year olds that are doing okay, but not, they're not where they need, where they want to be yet. Right.

they tend to take a little longer for some reason or another, but like with a 35 to 55, you know, 65, whatever year old, when they recognize the pattern and it's like, it's always one little thing. It'll be a technique that I show them or, you know, learning how to say no. And it's just over.
