Am I Getting in My Own Way? How to Stop Self-Sabotaging

Am I Getting in My Own Way? How to Identify and Stop Self-Sabotage I have a question I need you to answer honestly — without judgment and without shame. Are you someone who constantly procrastinates on the things that would actually make your life better? Do you find yourself avoiding the very opportunities you've been dreaming about? Have you been a people pleaser your whole life even when it hurts you? Do you look around and feel like everyone else is moving forward while you're standing still — and you have no idea why? If you answered yes to any of those, I have some news for you. You're self sabotaging. And you have been for a while. I know that sounds like a lot. But here's what I also need you to hear: 9 in 10 adults engage in self sabotaging behavior. This doesn't mean you're broken, lazy, or unworthy of the life you want. It means you're human — and nobody ever taught you how to get out of your own way. That's exactly what this workshop is for. In this free 30-minute live event, I'm going to show you what self sabotage actually is, where it comes from, and most importantly how to finally start breaking free from it. You're going to leave this session having identified your own patterns in real time. Some of what comes up might surprise you. It might even sting a little. But I promise you: the moment you can see it, you can start changing it. Here's what we're going to cover: • The truth about self sabotage that most people get completely wrong — it's not your fault • Why 95% of your daily decisions are being made for you without your knowledge, and how that's been keeping you stuck • The two root causes behind every self sabotaging behavior, and a live exercise to figure out which one is running your life • The first real step toward breaking the cycle This workshop is for you if: • You keep putting off the things you know would change your life • You feel like you want to hit a goal, but something inside you won't let you go after it • You've been a people pleaser your whole life and finally want to stop it I want to be real with you; this is some of the most important work you will ever do. Not just for yourself, but for the people around you too. The patterns we're going to uncover in this session don't just affect your goals — they affect your relationships, your finances, your sense of self, and your ability to actually enjoy the life you're working so hard to build. Attendees will receive an exclusive offer at the end of the session — 50% off a 1:1 coaching session with me, and a free copy of my ebook You vs. You: How to Overcome Self Sabotage.

How to Run an Efficient Small Business Search

Buying a small business sounds simple until you actually start searching. Suddenly you are juggling deal flow, broker calls, industry research, financial review, diligence, and legal concepts. All while trying to keep your life and job moving. This session is for the person who is ramping into acquisition entrepreneurship and wants real guidance, not a generic accelerator curriculum and not “just ask ChatGPT.” If you are smart, motivated, and serious about buying a business but feel overwhelmed by the volume of decisions and the lack of a clear path, this will click. We will walk through what an efficient search actually looks like in the real world: the phases of search, where people waste time, what progress looks like, and what it realistically takes to get competent. Spoiler: 5 hours a week is usually not enough. Most people underestimate the reps required (think hundreds of hours, not a weekend), and the main goal is to compress the learning curve by focusing on the highest-leverage work. What you will leave with: - A clear picture of the search process end-to-end and what “good” looks like at each stage - The real time commitment and why most searches stall - Practical ways to run search faster and cleaner (systems, workflows, decision filters) - A map of the core skill areas you need to build: deal sourcing, industry analysis, financial fluency, diligence, and negotiation A simple decision framework for your next step: learn it, hire it out, or partner Who this is for: - You want to buy a small business, but you do not want to wander for 12 months figuring it out the hard way - You want more hands-on support than an accelerator, and more signal than generic online content - You are ready to put in the work, but you want a more efficient path and fewer dead ends We will also share a bit of our own search context - what we have tried, what has worked, what has not - and why we believe 1:1 support can meaningfully cut down ramp time when you apply it correctly. If you have been circling ETA and keep thinking “this is a lot,” you are not wrong. Come get a sharper path.
