As long as any of these (or the 7 others) are running the show, things will feel harder than they need to. But within these archetypes are also natural strengths you can utilize once you break the unhealthy pattern.

So what are you waiting for? Give me 5 minutes of your time and I'll tell you exactly what's sabotaging your success.

The Parrot, who tells you to outsource your decisions to experts because you don't trust your own "Inner Authority"

The Pusher, who convinces you to use sheer force to override your intuition 'til you're burnt out & resentful

The Plunger, who keeps telling you to quit mid-grind, before you have to face the reality of failure or humilation?

The Planner, who keeps you obsessing over the "how" to avoid the vulnerability of putting something out there

But the fact you're reading this right now is enough for me to know that's this isn't about a lack of effort, intelligence or discipline. It's that there's an invisible force working against you. In fact, it could be any combination of 11 patterns that cause you to sabotage your efforts without even knowing it.

So if you've been trying to do everything "right" and working your butt off for years on end, only to still feel like you're standing at the bottom of the mountain, it may feel like you're the problem.
