266 - Superpowers vs Toxic Traits of High Achievers in Entrepreneurship

Season #2

Are you someone who’s always found yourself in the high-achiever camp - ticking boxes, reaching goals, maybe being a little harder on yourself than you’d ever admit?

If so, this episode is especially for you. I’m revealing some home truths about what it really means to be a high achiever in business, warts and all.

We’re talking about why your strongest traits might be both your greatest strengths and the sneaky culprits slowing your progress.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing honest stories from my own journey - moments where my high-achieving mindset helped me break through and times when it actually held me back.

If you’ve ever found yourself frustrated, watching others “fly ahead” while you’re quietly wondering, “Why am I not further along by now?” then stick around.

I promise, you’re not alone, and there’s a good reason behind it.

Here’s a taste of what I chat about in this episode:

  1. Why do some of our top strengths turn into our biggest obstacles in entrepreneurship? (And what can we do about it?)

  2. What are the classic “toxic traits” high achievers need to watch out for - like thinking, “I already know this,” or refusing to ask for help?

  3. How can you spot when your drive and capability are actually holding you back, especially when it comes to letting go and getting support in your business?

  4. Why is it so vital to check if your business foundations are strong enough for the next level (or are you still building on “one-storey” foundations when you want a “five-storey” business)?

  5. How can a mastermind or strategic community help you finally move past those hidden roadblocks - even if you’ve “done this before?”

Curious which of these high-achievers’ self-sabotaging habits you might be living into, and how you can flip them into true superpowers?

Grab your coffee, put your feet up, and let’s have a real conversation about what makes success sustainable and fun.

Listen in - I can’t wait to share this with you!
