Is Your Mindset Killing Your Side Hustle? - 3 Stages of Self Sabotage

If something keeps getting in the way of your side hustle and you can't quite put your finger on what it is, this episode will show you exactly what's happening. Self-sabotage doesn't just show up once. It shows up at three very specific stages of your side hustle journey, each time wearing a different disguise. And until you can name it, you can't beat it. In this episode you'll learn: ▶ Why "being thorough" is often just fear in disguise ▶ The escape hatch moment ... when most people walk away from their side hustle, and how to push through it ▶ Why success itself can trigger a pullback, and what to do when opportunity shows up and your instinct is to pull back ▶ The pre-launch commitment that keeps you in the game when doubt creeps in Whether you're still sitting on an idea, stuck in the middle, or right on the edge of something big, you'll recognize yourself somewhere in this episode. 🎧 Side Hustle Hero is hosted by Joan Posivy, bestselling author and personal development expert with 40 years of experience helping people get out of their own way and build income they're proud of. 🔑 Topics covered: side hustle mindset, self-sabotage, imposter syndrome, fear of failure, procrastination, how to start a side hustle, side hustle motivation, escape hatch moment, thermostat effect, Psycho-Cybernetics, accountability partner 0:00 Introduction & Why This Episode Now 1:00 The Three Stages of Side Hustle Self-Sabotage 2:00 Laura Nicole Jennings on the #1 Obstacle to Starting 3:00 Stage 1: The Endless Prep Trap 5:00 Imposter Syndrome — Even Sherry Lansing Had It 6:00 The Parking Lot Story — What Finally Got Me Moving 9:00 Stage 2: The Escape Hatch 11:30 Commit Before You're Tested 14:30 Am I Making This Harder Than It Needs to Be? 16:30 How You Talk to Yourself Matters 17:30 Stage 3: The Thermostat Effect 20:00 Three Things to Do When Opportunity Knocks 21:00 The Accountability Partner Advantage 22:00 You Don't Have to Stay Stuck 23:00 Free Resources + How to Connect Be sure to sign up to our Side Hustle Hero community to grab a copy of my 28-page guide, called, Smart Start: From Idea to It’s Live in 7 Steps.
