Have you ever started a round strong, only to crumble as the finish line approaches?

Have you ever felt so close to a financial, health, or golf goal that you succumbed to unconscious, sabotaging behaviors when it was almost within reach?

If you answered yes to any of the above, you have an upper-limit problem.

In this episode, you'll learn what an upper-limit problem is - that frustrating, invisible barrier that keeps you from reaching your full potential, both on the golf course and in life.

You'll learn how a fear of success can be just as limiting as the fear of failure and how this mental block keeps you from breaking through.

You'll also learn why you're hardwired to fear success (yes, you read that right) and what you can do to break through this upper limit and achieve next-level success both on and off the course.

Start listening.

Key Points:

• The fear of success can hold you back from achieving your goals.
• The upper limit problem is the unconscious belief that there is a limit to how much success you can achieve.
• Fear of judgment, abandonment, and rejection often accompany success.
• Addressing and changing your beliefs and fears is necessary to break through to the next level of success.
• The fear of success can manifest in different areas of life, such as health, relationships, and golf.

Key Quotes:

• "There is a hidden ceiling and invisible gravitational-like force holding you back that isn't rooted in fear of failure. It's rooted in fear of success."
• "Your fear of success, the reason you remain stuck and have yet to break through to next level success in your golf game and your business and your personal life and your family life is there."
• "Your work lies in constantly committing to doing the work to raise the floor, not raise your ceiling, raise the floor, which means raise the level of success your subconscious feels safe achieving."
