Welcome back. In Part 1, we uncovered the hidden enemy that creeps in after a big win—success sabotage. Now, let’s talk about how to make sure it never takes you down.
The First Rule: Pour on the Coals
One of my great mentors once told me, “Pour on the coals. Keep going. Eliminate wasted time and effort and become more productive.”
When you’ve just achieved a breakthrough, the natural temptation is to slow down—take a break, enjoy the moment. But that’s when you’re most vulnerable. The truth is, when you’re at a heightened level of awareness, the inconsistencies in your life will come roaring to the surface.
The Real Secret Most People Miss
When those inconsistencies and old patterns show up, most people either ignore them or retreat to a “safe” zone. But if you want your next breakout, you can’t just power through and pretend they’re not there—you have to face them head-on.
That means:
- Discipline – Stay focused even when it’s uncomfortable.
- Commitment – Refuse to quit when challenges appear.
- Further Study – Learn the skills and mindset tools you need to handle what’s coming up.
If you don’t address those issues, they’ll pull you right back down to where you started—or worse.
Your Next Breakout Requires Courage
It takes someone who is willing to do whatever it takes—someone who can face both the good and the bad without flinching. That’s the only way to go from one breakout to the next.
So don’t take a break. Don’t run away. Lean in, keep learning, and keep pushing.
Your Challenge
The “Next Breakout” Challenge:
- Identify one inconsistency or recurring challenge that surfaces when you’re under pressure.
- Schedule time this week to directly work on that issue—whether through study, coaching, or practice.
- Track your momentum daily to make sure you’re still pouring on the coals.
The next level of success is waiting for you—but only if you stay in the game, sharpen your skills, and refuse to retreat.
Stay tuned for Part 3, where we’ll dive into how to turn your momentum into unstoppable growth.
