156: How Self-Sabotage Silently Kills Your Side Hustle, and What to Do About It

Ever feel like you’re the one standing in your own way?

This episode dives deep into the mental blocks and hidden habits that silently sabotage your side hustle, often before it even begins. If you’ve ever hesitated to start, stalled out after launching, or pulled back right when things were getting good… this one's for you.

You’ll discover:

  • Why self-sabotage isn’t a flaw — it’s conditioning
  • The 3 key stages where it sneaks in and how to spot it
  • What imposter syndrome, hesitation, and “being too busy” have in common
  • Practical strategies to break the cycle and move forward with confidence
  • A surprising (and empowering) truth about how your subconscious actually runs the show

Plus: You’ll hear how to get free access to my 28-page guide, Smart Start: From Idea to It’s Live in 7 Steps, A Beginner's Guide to Launching Your Side Hustle With Confidence.

You’re not stuck because you’re unmotivated — you’re stuck because you’re human. But once you see what’s happening, you can change everything.

Do you like what you're hearing? Consider giving it a caffeinated thumbs up. We'd really appreciate it!
