The Most Dangerous Monster: When You Outsource Your Authority to Someone Else’s Blueprint

If you’ve ever found yourself wishing someone would just tell you what to do, or signed up for something that promised to take all of the messy mistakes and overthinking out of your process, then you’d better not skip this episode.

You’ve made it through overwhelm. You’ve silenced self-doubt. You’ve resisted the will-o-wisps and beaten the Hydra. But now you’re weary. You’ve been in the dark forest for a while, and you’re tired of stumbling around, frustrated that you’re not seeing results yet. You’re desperate for relief.

And that’s when you stumble across an inn. A place that promises rest. A solution that promises to take all the guesswork out of your journey. Just follow these exact steps. Use this proven framework. Fill in these blanks. And you’ll finally get the results you’ve been searching for.

Introducing Procrustes. The most sinister monster of all. Because this one doesn’t look like a monster at all — and yet it (he) does all the damage of one.

The Cliff’s Notes

Core Themes:

• Procrustes represents the danger of trying to fit yourself into someone else’s pre-made framework or blueprint
• When we’re exhausted and desperate, we’re most vulnerable to outsourcing our authority, integrity, and creativity
• The online course industry profits from promising “proven” roadmaps that actually rob you of the learning process
• Mistakes are essential, not avoidable—they teach you to think and adapt
• The inside-out approach (starting with why and how you want to feel) beats the outside-in approach (reverse-engineering someone else’s success)

Key Takeaways:

1. Never outsource your authority: External experts can teach you, but everything must be run through your internal authority. You need to question, experiment, and decide for yourself.
2. Beware of “proven” roadmaps: What worked for someone else at a different time with different skills, personality, and audience will not work exactly the same for you. Proven is not actually proven.
3. Identify the real gaps: Before buying a solution, understand whether you have a skills gap, knowledge gap, environmental gap, or motivational gap. Most courses only address knowledge, not the real blockers.
4. Embrace mistakes as essential: You learn by making mistakes. Trying to avoid them keeps you dependent on others and prevents you from developing your own discernment.
5. Work inside-out, not outside-in: Start with why you’re doing what you’re doing, what you enjoy, who you want to serve, and what’s authentic to you—not with someone else’s end result.

We’ve Almost Made It Out of the Dark Forest

We have almost made it out of the dark forest, at least in terms of this podcast. Finding your way out of the dark forest in real life can take more time, of course. But hopefully you’ll see that there are so many reasons we get stuck in the dark forest, and once we realize what is playing out, what is keeping us here, we can do something about it.

And we realize we’re not actually in the dark, really. Or at least we can see in the dark anyway.

We’re at the fifth of these five monsters that have been promised, and what’s been saved for last is what’s believed to be the most brutal. Sorry. Not sorry. We’ve been working up to this.

Now all of these monsters can keep us stuck in the dark forest. There is just something particularly sinister about this one.

Trigger warning: It’s also kind of gross. Won’t go into too much detail, but the monster we’re talking about today—firstly, you need to know—is actually a man. In the myth, it doesn’t look like a monster. This person just looks like a man. Some say he was the son of Poseidon, so he may have extra powers, but not necessarily. Really, he just looks like kind of an innkeeper, basically.

Meet Procrustes: The Monster Who Makes You Fit the Bed

The monster we’re talking about today is known as Procrustes.

And Procrustes is—let’s just say that when weary travelers find themselves at his inn, they tend to meet an untimely end.

Procrustes is famous for having a bed that if his guests don’t fit it—so if they’re too long or too short for the bed—let’s just say he uses his own horrible means to make them fit.

Going to leave it at that. Don’t want this to be too triggering, and it’s being left up to you if you want to look into this myth.

But the point is that this monster, this man who was actually a monster, is all about changing your shape to fit something external.

Do you see where this is going?

This is why the belief is this is one of the most sinister of all of the monsters. And the most dangerous trap we can fall into.

When Weariness Makes Us Vulnerable

Basically, what tends to happen when we’ve been in the dark forest for a fair while—I mean, it can happen early on as well, but the longer we’re in the dark forest, the wearier we tend to get.

We get to this point where we’re just exhausted. We’re really tired of not knowing where we’re going, feeling like we’re just stumbling around in the dark. We’re frustrated that we’re not seeing results yet. We don’t see the lights shining through the trees and we start to get desperate at times.

And it’s at times like this that we can find ourselves stumbling across people like Procrustes.

Who—what a horrible name, by the way, just sounds crusty—but who position themselves as the solution to your problem of weariness and exhaustion. They’re like, “Guess what? Things don’t have to be so exhausting anymore because I have a solution for you.”

And that solution usually comes in the form of handing you some sort of framework, some step-by-step, paint-by-numbers process or pre-existing model that you are supposed to just sort of fit on. Like it’s meant to be one size fits all, except it’s not.

It’s one size fits one, and what you end up doing is trying to bend yourself to fit this particular thing.

How This Shows Up

So this could look like if you’re a leader, someone goes, “Oh, here is this exact leadership framework where all you have to do is implement all of these different processes, run meetings exactly like this. If this thing happens in the workplace, then this is the script for that particular conversation.”

And before you know it, you’re trying to follow the script and you’re wondering why it feels so horrible and you’re not getting good results from it.

For business owners—and this is pulling from personal experience time and time again, not to mention just about every client ever worked with who’s come with a business has at some point signed up for at least one course and tried to follow it step by step—it’s like, “Okay, so here is how you create a course and here’s how you’re going to build it. And here is the platform that you use. And here’s the exact step-by-step blueprint on how you’re going to launch it. Here are the exact email scripts that you’re going to use. Just fill in the blanks. Insert your niche here.”

And then you’re wondering why it just doesn’t seem to be hitting.

We’ve all had these versions of someone on the outside promising us something that’s kind of said, “Well, you know, I was like you once, but then I cracked it. I figured it out. I cracked the code. I made all this money, or I suddenly earned the respect of my team members, whatever. And I’m gonna save you all of the heartache and the frustration and the energy, and I’m gonna help you avoid all of these mistakes that I made by just giving you the playbook.”

And we soon realize that it doesn’t work the way it’s promised.

What Happens When You Follow Someone Else’s Playbook

But what does happen in the process of us following someone else’s playbook? Well, it’s a few things that happen.

You Outsource Your Authority

The first thing that we’re doing is we’re outsourcing our authority.

We’re basically saying, “You know what? I’m not going to make the decisions for myself anymore. I don’t trust myself to. I am going to trust this expert on the outside who clearly knows more than me, and they clearly know what’s best for me because they’ve done it before. They’ve already succeeded. And so I’m going to basically borrow their brain.”

And by the way, this can also happen when we’re working with a coach. We can assume that they know what’s best and just take everything they say seriously. We don’t actually question any of the guidance they give us, and we just roll with what they’re saying.

A Personal Example

For instance, there was a coach—the very first coach—who was wonderful in many different ways. But when he first kind of suggested, because he knew there was wanting to create a course, wanting to finally become a course creator because YouTube videos had been created for a while and that was being enjoyed.

And there had also been saying to him that there wasn’t wanting to create a marketing course because it was thought it was just so oversaturated and there wasn’t passion about it.

He went, “Oh, well, why don’t you create one on makeup? Teaching people how to do makeup? Because you’re a makeup artist. That’s perfect.”

And the response was, “Oh yeah, great idea.” And just went with it. Did not stop to think it through.

And this relates to the part of the trauma mentioned in a previous episode around launching that very first course—that very first course launched was about makeup. And it only hit after launching it and dedicating so much time and money to this launch to realize, “I don’t want to talk about makeup all the time. I don’t want an entire business model that’s built around makeup.”

But because that coach just fed some advice, instead of feeding some really high-quality questions to contemplate—he wasn’t actually guiding to think independently and go, “What do I want? And is it true that I don’t want to talk about marketing, or is there a fear there that it’s all been done, or that I’m not an expert enough?”

We weren’t actually looking at any of the potential blocks and distortions that were in place. It was just like, “Oh, well, you don’t want to do that. We’ll do this instead.”

And there was being a bit of a business baby and just kind of went with it.

Now, valuable lesson. There’s no regret about any of this because it taught so much. Sometimes we have to learn through what not to do in order to get to what we do need to do.

But in this instance, authority was outsourced. There was assuming that this coach, because they were more experienced, they knew better, and there was not even questioning that guidance.

And this is a very dangerous thing. We should never, ever, ever, ever, ever outsource our authority.

External experts can absolutely teach us. But then everything needs to be run through our own internal authority. We need to chew on that advice. Try it on for size. Go, “Okay. How do I feel about this? And how does this compare to everything else that I’ve been taught? And maybe I should run a small experiment to test out this hypothesis for myself,” rather than just grabbing it and running with it.

You Sell Your Soul for a Guarantee

The other thing that we can do when it comes to this issue of looking for quick relief is that we can basically sell our soul for a guarantee.

As in, we are so desperate to get out of the discomfort of not knowing, to avoid that horrible feeling of “Oh no, what if this fails?”—which again, was talked about in a previous episode—that instead of actually aborting what we’re doing, in this case, we look for someone else who’s promising to guarantee our success because that feels so much safer than us going out on a limb and experimenting and trying and then finding out it doesn’t work.

But saying selling our soul, because so often what we have to do is we have to override our authenticity.

In this case, when we are following someone else’s script or blueprint that is not created from a place of our own values, our own personality, our own natural ways of operating, we become little robots or puppets or whatever you want to call it in order to execute this thing.

And it is not from a place of alignment and excitement and deep connection. It is actually costing us something internally in order to do this thing.

And the joke is it rarely ever works anyway. And even if it does, it tends to work only temporarily, because often we may get some results because we have been able to execute this thing short-term, and we were okay with the discomfort of it not feeling quite right in the short term.

But once we try and stick with it long-term, that’s when we start to realize just how uncomfortable it is, just how much it does not fit, how we’re basically stretching ourselves or squishing ourselves or whatever it is in order to fit this pre-existing mold.

You Give Away Your Creative Expression

And then the most tragic—no, not the most tragic. These are all really sad. We need our integrity intact. We need our authority intact.

But you know what else we are here to do? We are here to express our unique creativity.

And when we look for pre-existing plans, blueprints, frameworks, ones that give us this real paint-by-numbers approach to what we’re doing, we stop being our incredible creative selves. We stop innovating. We stop finding new ways to do things. We stop evolving, and we just become these little robots.

And that is just so sad because isn’t part of what gives you the satisfaction in what you do related to your creative expression? Doesn’t it feel good for you to come up with your own solution, or for you to express yourself uniquely? Why would you want to give that away?

Oh, that’s right, because fear.

Because it is scary to not know how things are going to turn out. It’s scary and yes, exhausting when it feels like you’ve been lost in the forest for a really long time.

And trust when saying there’s so much empathy for this. There’s so much space to hold for you in this.

Some of the biggest reasons that are seen for people also wanting to do this is there is so much fear underneath it. “Oh, I really don’t have what it takes. I am just inherently inadequate as a leader, as a business owner. No one is going to love my work if I do it my way.”

That is why it just feels so much safer for us to outsource our authority, our integrity, our creativity to somebody else.

And yet that is what life is about—us being on this journey and having to figure it out as we go along.

The Industry Built on This Fear

And the thing that makes this extra difficult that we just have to call out right now is that basically an entire industry has been built around the idea that rather than us making costly mistakes, we should just follow someone else’s proven roadmap.

Yep. Basically, the online course industry and coaching industry—at least a huge chunk of it—is all about just giving people these roadmaps to supposedly help them avoid making mistakes.

But how do we learn? One of the main ways we learn is through making mistakes.

Also, by finding what doesn’t work, what doesn’t fit, it helps us identify what does, what we do like, how we best operate.

Hate to tell it to you, but nothing is actually proven. Not for you.

Someone might have a proven roadmap that worked for them at some point, but they are operating from their own blueprint. As in, they are made differently to you. They were doing it at a different time for a different audience, different industry. They’ve got their own skill sets, their own personality. There are so many variables.

Meaning proven is not proven. Just because it worked once does not mean it works again.

Mistakes Are Unavoidable

But the other thing is that mistakes are not just essential, but they are unavoidable.

There will be mistakes. We can’t avoid them.

And as long as we keep running around throwing money at things to try and prevent mistakes, prevent discomfort, prevent uncertainty, we are doing ourselves a disservice.

Sometimes it’s better to be like, “You know what? Okay, so what would happen if I made a mistake? What if this thing doesn’t work?” Allow yourself to go there. Give yourself permission to fail, or to at least be messy and to not be perfect.

It is so freeing.

Outside-In vs. Inside-Out

The other major problem with these approaches is that they are just about all outside-in approaches.

What that means is they are making this assumption that, “Okay, here is this exact thing that you’re wanting to achieve. Cool. Let’s now reverse-engineer it. Here are the steps that you’re going to have to take in order to get there.”

And it’s completely focused on the final destination. And it has made all these assumptions about the process.

The Inside-Out Approach

The approach when working with clients is from the inside out, because we need to start with understanding: Why are you even doing what you’re doing?

Remember what was said about vision? It’s not just about some strict form that your thing needs to take. It’s about why you’re wanting to achieve this thing. It’s about what it’s going to allow you to experience. How you’re going to feel, the impact you’re making. Maybe it’s about legacy. It’s about the lifestyle it opens up.

There are all these things we need to know about why you’re doing what you do, because that is then going to give us all this juicy information around the best path to get us there.

And then we also need to be asking questions about:

• What do you actually enjoy?
• Who do you want to be serving?
• What is authentic to you?
• What is your natural way of operating?
• And how can we leverage these existing gifts versus trying to get you to strengthen your weaknesses and fit you in a mold that was made for somebody else?

The Red Flag

So it’s so important to remember that if anyone is handing you something that’s like, “Here are the exact steps that I took to make this much money or to become a high-performing whatever,” we need to really look at what are they actually saying about how to get there?

Are they saying there is one way to get there? Just follow my exact steps and don’t ask questions? Red flag.

What we really need to be looking for are solutions that get us to ask those questions and to take more of an iterative approach of, “Okay, we’re going to commit to this next phase, and we’re going to do some experiments, and then we’re going to learn things and we’re going to identify skills gaps. We’re going to build confidence. We’re going to build clarity. And then we’re going to build on this.”

If we’re trying to jump straight to the final product and those steps are already in place, not leaving any room for movement, any room for discovery and experimentation, then we know that you’re already being set up to fail, because it’s not teaching you to think, and it’s not teaching you how to adapt, how to adjust, how to think like a strategist, how to allow things to evolve as you gather more data.

Understanding the Real Gaps

Something else that’s really important to keep in mind: when we are tired and people are handing us these solutions that seem almost too good to be true—I mean, yes, of course they are too good to be true—but when it’s like, “Oh, this could be the thing that suddenly makes it all fall into place,” there’s wanting to introduce you to the idea of gaps.

Now, this is through the lens of instructional design, which is something that was started studying a lot when looking at online courses and why they don’t work for most people. Because even though they supposedly are giving you all the steps, it’s like, why aren’t people finishing them? Why aren’t they solving the problems that they’re promising they solve?

Once starting to study instructional design, it became quite obvious.

The Four Types of Gaps

So there are a handful of different gaps between us and what we want to be achieving. And often it’s to do with our own performance.

What we tend to be signing up for when we want a course is we might think, “Oh, I want to learn how to be better at launching so I can make more money, or I want to know how to land more clients or something.”

What we’re really trying to do is, “How can I be a better business owner? Or how can I be a better marketer or salesperson or leader?”

Usually it’s actually to do with us bettering ourselves in some area of our lives or professions. But we get so caught up on this thing that just promises, “Oh, by the end of this, you’ll be making more money, or you’ll be landing more clients, or you’ll be increasing your conversion rates.”

We don’t pause to go, “Hang on, what is the real gap though right now?”

And those gaps are:

1. Skills gaps – Your ability to actually do something well.

2. Knowledge gaps – An actual gap in your understanding of something.

3. Environmental gaps – Something in our setup is making it difficult for us to take action. That could be external interruptions. It could be not having the right tools in place, not having the process in place. Too much friction for us to be able to do what we need to do. Or it could be literally environmental—we’re showing up in the wrong place, on the wrong platform or something like that.

4. Motivational gaps – And this is, believe it or not—skills and motivational gaps are generally some of the biggest causes. Environmental could be massive as well depending on the context.

But motivational gaps are when we actually have those underlying blocks. We’re struggling to follow through and do the thing we’re supposed to be doing. We sign up for a course, they give us all the steps, and then we don’t take them or we don’t take them consistently.

Why?

Well, once we’ve looked and gone, “Okay, well, there’s not an environmental issue. I’ve got the right software set up. I do have the skills to know how to do this.” What if there is an actual fear of what happens if you become more visible?

What if you have a visibility block where it’s like, “Okay, but if I grow a bigger audience, I’m going to be more vulnerable to trolls and people attacking me online. And I don’t actually want that.”

There could be some internal polarity. Remember we were talking about parts work and how one part of you wants one thing and one part of you wants a different thing? So often this is what’s playing out when it comes to motivational gaps.

The Problem with Broad Strokes

But very often—saying “we,” the people in the online space who are selling these solutions—use broad strokes of, “Oh, the real reason you can’t take action is you just don’t know what you’re doing. If you just have a plan, then you’ll be able to do the thing.”

But they’re not addressing the underlying issues.

And for the most part, there is no support in helping you truly assess what the actual gaps are, because what they’re really just doing is saying, “Just do what I did. It works for me. It’ll work for you.”

When the Mold Works (Until It Doesn’t)

The final piece to keep in mind is that for some of us, we do find someone else’s business model or framework—it works for us for a while. It does allow us to—we were able to implement it. It kind of allows us to switch off for a bit and not be in our head so much, and we just kind of submit to it a little bit. We just plod along and we get a certain amount of results from it.

This is where seeing falling into the trap of kind of shouldering throughout the business. As in, feeling at this point, “Well, I just have to do it like this because, come on, you’re an adult. Suck it up. Just keep going. Just do this thing.” Even though it doesn’t feel good.

We can numb ourselves to this. We don’t realize that we’re really uncomfortable, that we’ve shoved ourselves into this mold or we’re being stretched in an unnatural way to bring it back to the monster analogy.

The Warning Signs

And this is where eventually something will happen. Something will kick in at some point, and it could come in the form of:

• Just a general apathy
• A loss of motivation and spark for your business
• Feeling like “This just doesn’t feel good anymore”
• Feeling a level of dread of how we’re showing up
• Suddenly getting the temptation to just run away from what we’ve been doing—”I just have to burn it to the ground and do something else”

And all of these could just be signs that it’s actually the way we’re doing it.

It’s not the thing. As in, it’s not the business or the role that we’re in. It’s that for just too long we’ve been bending over backwards, contorting ourselves to try and do it someone else’s way.

And so it is really important for us to identify this. And rather than make rash moves again to run away from the issue, we do need to take a pause for a bit and identify what’s really going on here.

The Beliefs Audit

And this can take a bit to unpack, because it can take tracking back through all the decisions that you’ve made. Often there’s a beliefs audit that needs to happen.

If you are really attached to doing business a certain way, there can be fears attached to that. “Oh, if I don’t do this particular thing—if I’m not blogging all the time, or if I stop showing up on Google search—then I’m going to fail.”

That was why there was staying very attached to the idea of being on YouTube for many years, even though there was struggling to show up consistently. Would show up for three videos at a time and then disappear for another six to nine months.

And it took really just beating up going, “Oh my God, you’re failing. What’s wrong with you?” And then finally realized, “Wait, do I even want to be on YouTube? Is this truly what is right for me?”

And it took looking at that belief and this attachment to this strategy before seeing, “Oh, this is an old idea that I was attached to. It’s not actually what’s right for me right now.”

And that can be scary in itself, because it can lead to some letting go that needs to happen.

Activation & Contemplation

We’ve talked about a lot in this episode so far, and as usual, wanting to leave you with an archetype and a symbol to contemplate.

Your Archetype to Activate: The Crone

And the archetype today is an interesting one. So it’s the crone.

Have you heard of maiden, mother, crone? The crone can be seen as this old woman, can be a little bit scary, definitely has some sort of witchy powers or something.

But the point of the crone is that she embodies wisdom. Lived-in wisdom. She has seen it all. She’s lived through many cycles of birth and rebirth, and she has kind of transcended the need to judge things as good and bad and right and wrong. It’s like to the crone, it all just is.

And the belief is the reason the crone came up for this particular episode is so often we have this belief—a really sneaky one that’s underneath all of it—that there is a best way to do things, or there is a right and a wrong way to do things.

And we are so scared of getting it wrong that we look to others for guidance, assuming, “Well, someone else knows, right?”

And we forget that at one point everyone made all of this up. Seriously. Someone at some point tried something one way and then the first person who did it really well and decided they wanted to tell other people about it, they write a book, and then suddenly there is this guaranteed way to run your business.

For the crone, we want to basically ditch the idea that there is a right and wrong.

The crone is also very intuitive and powerful and has nothing to prove at this point. Like how we see sometimes there’s elderly people and it’s like they have gone beyond the point of giving an F about how they show up. They will say whatever they want to say. They just don’t care. Because they’re like, “Honestly, none of it matters at this point.”

That is what we want to really activate. “Okay, you know what? Me finding a way that feels good for me is more important than anything else. So I’m going to stop worrying about what other people are thinking. I’m going to do away with this absolute lie that there is a right way and a wrong way to do things, and I’m going to really just take things step by step. I’m just going to really look at what’s in front of me and go, ‘What actually feels good right now?’ And not be afraid of trying things out and going, ‘Okay, so that didn’t work the way I thought it would. That’s interesting.’ Take notes, move on.”

And every single time you allow yourself to go through that process, you become wiser and wiser.

Your Symbol: The Mirror

The symbol to contemplate is the mirror.

And so this is where we need to—before we go out and grabbing at someone else’s solution—we need to look in the mirror at the deeper self, at what is running the show for us right now.

• What are you truly scared of?
• What are you trying to run away from?
• What is making you really uncomfortable right now?
• What is making it feel so urgent that you find a solution?

Look at yourself in the mirror—saying metaphorically, but sometimes looking at the mirror can involve sitting down and doing some really honest free writing, some journaling where you just don’t edit yourself.

A Practice Example

Just yesterday, there was writing down a prompt: “Here are all the reasons that my beliefs are probably getting in the way of me earning more money right now.”

And there was coming up with ten beliefs in like two minutes where it was like, “Oh, how fascinating. Here I am thinking I need to take drastic action to do something different in the business.” And the realization was, “Actually, no, what I really need to do is address the beliefs that are the real blockers to progress at the moment.”

Your Questions

So looking in the mirror can look like that, and it can also look like sitting down with someone else and just talking honestly and allowing someone else who’s already embodying the crone energy to be able to reflect back to you what they’re seeing.

Because sometimes we just need to get talking and the patterns and the little words, how we word things, can reveal so much about what’s really going on.

And this is honestly so much of the work done with clients—really about being able to identify when it’s actually a pattern that’s playing out, when it’s a fear.

There are spidey senses at this point where it’s like, “Okay, I see what you’re saying. And on the surface it sounds so logical and strategic. And yet I want us to really circle back here and go, ‘Is there a fear underneath all of this? Is this true? Or is there a story being woven to protect you from something else?'”

So contemplate the mirror by simply going, “Okay, I’m prepared to see my own patterns, and I’m prepared to get honest with myself about what’s really motivating my decisions right now.”

And what you’ll find is that once you’ve allowed yourself to be more self-aware, in future, when you have that temptation—a course pops up or some solution pops up and you’re like, “Oh, this could be the thing”—it’s very likely that you’ll just get a little bit quicker at catching yourself in that and going, “Oh yes, okay, really tempted to reach for this right now, but what am I actually reaching for? Or more importantly, what do I believe it’s helping me escape?”

We’re Finally Stepping Out of the Dark Forest

We have covered the five main monsters of the dark forest, and hopefully it has been enlightening so far.

And we are now finally moving on from the dark forest because funnily enough, on a mythic journey—as in the mythic map that’s created—the dark forest is only one little stop on the map of all of the different stops. But we have spent a very good chunk of season one here just because it is the toughest threshold for us to cross.

And it is also the thing that can send us backwards. Sometimes we’ve made progress, we’ve crossed the threshold, but then another one of those monsters will get us stuck and will take us off course again.

So it’s really important we’re aware of these.
