I often run into this situation with my clients: when they finally reach a certain “comfort zone” and their “winning formula” is just starting to work, instead of sticking with it, they slowly begin to sabotage their circumstances, alter their course, and convince themselves that “this isn’t it”—that there must be a better or different way to achieve their goals.
Important because most of us artists, entrepreneurs, and crazy geniuses are endlessly tempted and repeatedly drawn to veer off the main highway and take a bumpy ride on the road less traveled. Which can be a priceless experience for the short trip, but a costly detour for the long haul.
