Welcome to Part 3 of the Are You Sabotaging Your Success? series.
In Part 1, we exposed the hidden trap of success sabotage.
In Part 2, we talked about preventing it and staying in momentum.
Now, let’s talk about the golden nuggets—the non-negotiable principles that will keep you breaking out again and again.
The 3 Must-Haves for Ongoing Breakthroughs
- High Level of Integrity
You must be brutally honest with yourself. Tell yourself the truth—even when it’s uncomfortable. Without truth, you’ll build your success on a shaky foundation that can collapse at any moment. - High Level of Self-Discipline
Success isn’t about doing what’s easy—it’s about doing what’s necessary. The discipline to face challenges, deal with inconsistencies, and keep moving forward separates the average from the extraordinary. - Let Go of the Need for Approval
Stop trying to get everyone’s agreement. High-intention leadership means standing firm in your vision, even when others don’t understand it. Great leaders operate for the greatest good of the greatest number of people, not just for personal validation.
Operating From Virtue
If you want to be a great leader, you have to commit to:
- Truth
- Honor
- Honesty
- Service to others
These aren’t just nice ideas—they’re your operating system for sustained breakout success.
The Final Piece: Keep Learning
I’m not saying this is easy. But if these principles become your daily guidelines, you will continue to experience success breakouts for the rest of your life.
And remember—study. Keep learning. Get coaching. Learn how to deal with those inconsistencies that show up with a high level of confrontation. That’s how you go from good to superstar.
Be amazing.
Your Challenge
The Breakout Virtues Challenge:
- Identify one area where you’ve been less than honest with yourself. Write it down.
- Take one disciplined action today to correct or improve it.
- Do one thing this week without seeking anyone’s approval—just because it’s the right thing to do.
Following these steps won’t just give you a breakthrough—it will make success your new normal.
