And that starts with you and the type of strategy applied to what you have going on. It’s about clarity, schedule and commitment. Read on for more.
Playing the victim card is BS!
Certain behaviour patterns are associated with the ‘victim mentality’. The professional victim has a strong tendency to negativity at signs of any friction and challenge in their life.

Do you consider yourself a perfectionist?
50% of the people I coach identify as perfectionists. Early on in life, they wore it like a badge of honour, a behaviour that will lead to success BUT more often than not, it’s not about trying to do something the best way ever, it is about getting a stamp of approval from someone else.
Procrastination: I can’t even think about that right now

The blame game: When it's always someone else's fault
For many people, assigning blame versus owning what actually happened is much easier. My 3 year old does it when he’s been caught doing something he wasn’t supposed to, he sometimes even blames the dog! Now, in real life, adults can’t blame the dog - that would make them look a tad crazy - and adults know better, right?
