You tell yourself and everyone else that you&#8217;re &#8220;ready&#8221; for the big career, for the promotion, for more responsibility and more money. But when it gets concrete, when the employment contract is on the table, when you&#8217;re supposed to bring your six colleagues and two clients with you, when it gets really serious &#8211; you turn tail. You doubt. You look for excuses. &#8220;I need to discuss this with my wife.&#8221; &#8220;Maybe later.&#8221; &#8220;Not the right time yet.&#8221;      Bullshit.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you know what that really means?  <strong>You don&#8217;t trust yourself.<\/strong>  And that&#8217;s where the wheat is separated from the chaff. Those who believe in themselves &#8211; despite doubts &#8211; sign up, go all-in and rock the thing. The others? They talk, justify themselves, cost everyone involved time and energy &#8211; and stay exactly where they&#8217;ve always been.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The truth is brutally simple: doubts are part of life. Everyone has them. Even me. But those who deny their doubts fail. Those who acknowledge them and act anyway grow. If you wait until you are &#8220;ready&#8221;, you can put your hands in your lap and let yourself be picked up like a child by its mother.     <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dear man, stop lying. Stop making yourself look small. If you want more &#8211; then show it! With full presence, with an all-in mentality. Be fully there in the meeting. Be fully present at home with your partner and your children. And yes, in bed too. Half-heartedness is the mother of all dissatisfaction.       <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So stop hiding behind your doubts, fears and excuses.  <strong>Make up your mind.<\/strong>  Actively decide for yourself, your strength and your success.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because in the end, there is only one hard truth:<br\/><strong>The only person who can stop you is yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Click here for the new podcast episode:<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: #041 Du vertraust dir selbst nicht!\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/episode\/0LAPdfnBuPAkObAW3eQebj?utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And also with Apple Podcasts:<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/de\/podcast\/041-du-vertraust-dir-selbst-nicht\/id1761337825?i=1000728187573\">https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/de\/podcast\/041-du-vertraust-dir-selbst-nicht\/id1761337825?i=1000728187573<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, I&#8217;m talking about you.
