You’re sabotaging your progress if you suck at trusting yourself.

You can’t achieve those big dreams if you don’t first see yourself achieving them.

Doubts will always work against you.

You have to believe in yourself.

[Huw Edwards @HuwJEdwards]

And I shared key habits to manage goals and ambitions you care about with a partner that doesn’t.

There’s this joke that does the rounds in the running community.

It goes something like: “Honey, I've booked us a lovely family holiday to Chamonix in August”.

When what you actually mean is, “I want to run UTMB, and I'm hoping nobody looks at the itinerary too closely...”

As a high performer who wants to maintain a high level of performance for passionate goals, juggling a routine with a partner who is not on the same radar as you can be hard.

Over the weekend, I talked about my personal experience around this.

[Huw Edwards @HuwJEdwards]

It's a hard price to pay for many.

But these things are limits that can hold you back from reaching your full potential.

[Huw Edwards @HuwJEdwards]

Extraordinary success comes at a cost most people aren't prepared to pay.

It costs the old version of you that has led you this far.

It costs you people who supported your journey up to this point.

[Huw Edwards @HuwJEdwards]

It costs you to drop past failures, fear, trauma, hurt, disappointment, and pain regardless.

It costs you your comfort.

It costs you to unlearn beliefs that you swear by.

[Huw Edwards @HuwJEdwards]

Over time, it spirals into many things you hate.

Over the weekend, I shared how to recognize this pattern and be mentally prepared to face outcomes.

How many times have you told yourself now is a good time to do something else?

While in the middle of doing something else?

Or maybe even at the edge of getting it done?

[Huw Edwards @HuwJEdwards]

So your mind starts brooding over perfectly logical reasons to reconsider right now, of all times.

But that’s because it has happened before.

And your mind now sees it as a way out of panic and fear.

[Huw Edwards @HuwJEdwards]

That's how you create freedom to step away from your business when you want to.

Without any fear that something will go wrong.

[Huw Edwards @HuwJEdwards]

It's not just picking the perfect team that makes a successful business.

Teach people how to think.

Take a step back and trust them to lead.

Let people stumble, learn, grow, and become masters at handling the things you do.

You can do so much more if you’re not afraid to be a beginner again.

[Huw Edwards @HuwJEdwards]

You’ve got it wrong if you think:

- Being the smartest in the room means you’re ahead
- Admitting you don’t know hurts your confidence
- Asking questions makes you look weak
- Playing it safe protects your success

[Huw Edwards @HuwJEdwards]

The hard truth:

- If you’re always the smartest, you’re not really growing
- Confidence comes from learning over and over
- Bold performers aren’t afraid to ask questions
- Playing it safe keeps you stuck over time
