Welcome to the Level Up Podcast.
I'm your host, Paul Alex.
I went from being a cop to an eight-figure entrepreneur
that helps average people like you and me
make money every single day.
I created this podcast to help you get motivated
and to crush your goals.
Let's win together.
Remember, I have your six.
Get ready to level up right now.
What's up everybody and welcome back to the Level Up Podcast.
I'm Paul Alex and today we're going to be tackling a topic that hits home for a lot
of entrepreneurs, including myself, self-sabotage.
Let's get real.
Most of the time, the biggest obstacle standing between you and success is in your competition,
the economy, or even a lack of resources.
It's actually you.
You're getting in your own damn way.
And if you don't fix it,
you'll never reach your full potential.
So let's break it down on this episode.
First, you gotta identify the patterns.
Are you procrastinating on important tasks,
making excuses for why things don't go your way?
Consistently second guessing yourself,
these behaviors are red flags.
I've seen it firsthand.
I've experienced it firsthand. I've experienced
it early in my journey. I caught myself overthinking, delaying action, convincing
myself that I wasn't ready. But here's the truth, you'll never be a hundred
percent ready. You got to take action and adjust along the way. Second, you got to
ditch the perfectionism. Perfectionism is just fear dressed in a fancy suit. Make

You tell yourself you're waiting to get it just right.
But what you're really doing is stalling.
That's just all it is.
Successful people don't wait for the perfect.
They execute, they learn, and they improve.
When I started my businesses, I didn't have all the answers,
but I made moves, learned from my mistakes,
and kept leveling up.
That's the only way to win, guys.
And finally, stop surrounding yourself with enablers.
You know the people who coddle your excuses,
who tell you it's gonna be okay to stay
in your comfort zone, cut them out.
You need people in your corner
who will hold you accountable, call you out
when you're slacking and push you
to be better.
That's how you stop sabotaging yourself and start thriving in life and in business.
So bottom line guys, success isn't about avoiding failure.
It's about getting out of your own damn way.
So you got to recognize your patterns.
You got to take actions and you got to surround yourself with winners.
Okay.
So thanks for tuning in to the Level Up Podcast.
I'm Paul Alex reminding you that you gotta stop
being your own biggest obstacle, take control,
make moves and as always, let's level up.
