Mediocrity: I'm Not Good Enough

That belief doesn’t want you being really good at what you do, because it still thinks you’re a young child, barely able to do things yourself, or do them well — and at any point, you’re about to be corrected, criticised, or punished for trying.

So to keep you ‘safe’ from failure, shame, or blame, it limits your abilities, so you never have to feel that frustration of trying, the disappointment of failing, or the sting of criticism, ever again.

That mediocrity program still lives inside you as an adult — otherwise known as the fear of trying, failing, criticism, accomplishment, shame, blame, success, or enjoyment.

This is where you'll find yourself thinking:

• "I can't do it" (Incapability)

• "It's too hard" (Resistance)

• "I'm not skilled enough, smart enough, prepared enough" (Inadequacy)

• "I'll mess it up" (Self-doubt)

• "Other people can do it better than me" (Comparison)

• "I'm stupid, hopeless, useless" (Self-criticism)

• "I've just never been good at that sort of stuff" (Limitation)

• "Who am I to think I can do this?" (Imposter syndrome)

• "I tried before and it didn't work" (Defeat)

• "What's the point — I'll never be as good as them" (Resignation)
  
  

You’ll stop trying as hard. You’ll avoid learning new skills to better yourself. You’ll lose patience when you practice. You’ll focus too much on problems or failures. You'll tend to be hard on yourself, frustrated with yourself, angry with yourself. You’ll reject compliments as ‘awkward’, yet putting yourself down somehow feels more ‘appropriate’. You’ll pull out just before success lands.

You’ll eventually plateau — settling for some level of mediocrity, just getting by with the skills you already have, because part of you doesn't believe you're good enough to be any better.

Our Level 2 workshop has an extremely simple but very powerful way to overcome Mediocrity, so you feel good about yourself again, do things better, achieve more, and create more success.
