What if the thing holding you back isn’t fear of failure, but fear of success?
Meet Bonnie. She launched her HR consulting business six months ago. She’s experienced, knowledgeable, and ambitious, but when potential clients push back, she freezes. Despite hours of preparation, she second-guesses herself, people-pleases, and walks away from opportunities she knows she’s capable of winning.
In this episode, Jay sits down with Paul Salter, high-performance hypnotherapist, mindset coach, and keynote speaker, to explore why we sabotage our own success, how limiting beliefs shape our behavior, and what it takes to build lasting self-trust.
