The ONE Self-Sabotaging Thing You Do
  Every Day That Keeps You From Making
        7-Figures In Your Business


"Most people confuse wishing and wanting with pursuing. You must place

your trust in ACTION."

-Price Pritchett



I’ve been hearing this one question a lot recently: “Fabienne,

what did you actually DO to multiply your income so quickly?

How did you get to a million and can I do it too?” Well, the answer

is “Yes, you can do it too” and it‟s important to realize that it comes down to several different things:

Authentic and compelling marketing, systems for everything, a team, different sources of income,

leverage, etc.



But, believe it or not, those are actually the easy part, because you can be shown exactly

how to do this. The difficult part is actually a two step process, two steps that seem very simple on

the outside, but that few people actually DO anything about. In fact, this is so deceptively simple that

most people ignore its importance and look for something way more complex. But it comes down to:

1.      Making a decision

2.      Doing what it takes



I know, it might seem like child’s play, but most people never actually get clear about

WHAT they want in the first place, and then they don’t make a commitment to getting it.So
the first thing to do is to decide that you are going to reach a big goal. Then, you must be OK with

doing whatever it takes to get it, as if your life depended on it.



Believe it or not, that’s where most people fail in this process. They throw out a lofty goal, but

when it comes to actually DOING what it takes, they let their mindset and their fears get in the way.

The ideas and opportunities to reach that big goal are right there, smack in front of them, but they

don‟t take action on them. I saw this happen recently with a client. She asked me, “Fabienne, I set

this huge goal for myself, and the year‟s almost over, but I‟m not even halfway to reaching it. What

happened? What am I doing wrong?”



The answer I gave her was that, despite the lofty goal, her BEHAVIOR hadn’t changed very

much. Despite progress in other areas, she kept stopping herself, and kept doing the same things,

worrying about the same things (not knowing the how, not enough money, not enough time, you

know the drill…)



We’d given her all the different ways to make her goal happen quickly and two-fold, but she

never implemented the ideas. The HOW was right in front of her, but she got in her own way, and

essentially sabotaged her potential income by not taking action on the idea. And that‟s one thing that

I‟ve gotten really clear about recently. The “how” is always right there, right under your nose, ready

for the picking.



In fact, there was a time in my own business, not too long ago, where I could never have

imagined making this much in one year. But the opportunities to do so were already there. In

fact, one idea that I‟m implementing right now was an idea I had 4 years ago. 4 years ago!!! And that

idea was one that would have brought in a ton of money back then. Sure, I researched it, did a little

bit of due diligence, even asked my ezine subscribers if they had resources and got tons of them. I

went as far as investing in the resources I needed to take advantage of that opportunity.



Then, guess what happened?



Nothing, nada, zip. I never did ANYTHING about it. I let the opportunity get stale and covered with

dust, and it‟s because of several different obstacles:
1.      My excuse of not having enough time to implement it

2.      My fear of failure

3.      Essentially, my belief that I wasn‟t “good enough” or “big enough” to succeed with it



And so, I never achieved the income potential that this opportunity had in store for me.I‟m

kicking myself now, but at least, I‟m taking action on it now.



Here’s the thing: you must realize that the ideas that are given to you are not just silly

ideas. They are divinely brought to you. My mentor always says, “If you are given an idea, then too

you are given the way to achieve it. You wouldn‟t be able to have the idea without also receiving the

„way‟ to accomplish it too. It‟s universal law.” And that‟s really important for you to remember.



Until you are ready to see what’s already right under your nose, without discounting it as

“not feasible”, you aren’t going to grow. Remember that the idea you got in the shower, or the

idea your mastermind members brainstormed with you didn‟t actually come from them or you. It was

divinely given THROUGH them.



And you are given ideas like these ALL THE TIME! It is the Universe‟s way of guiding you on a

daily basis, literally pulling you by the hand and pointing you in the direction that will help you

accomplish your dreams, but the question is… are you listening? Are you going to do something about

it? If you‟re not where you want to be financially in your business, one of the major reasons is your

non-action. If you‟re still at the same place you were before, it‟s because you‟re unwilling to take

advantage of the opportunity that is right in front of you, and has been for a long time.



And I know you’re probably tired of hearing, “To get different results, you need to do things

differently”, but in my experience (especially this year) it is absolutely true. To get a

quantum leap in your business, you must be willing to DO what you haven‟t done before, to be

courageous, to walk into the opportunity and even to walk into the fear you have associated with it.



And please don’t let the simplicity of what I’m telling you undermine the importance of the

message. This „arrogance‟ of thinking, “Oh, I already know that!” is another form of self-sabotage

and it‟s keeping you from making a whole lot more in your business. Here‟s an example: Someone
told me last week that some of this is “basic” stuff. That they already knew this.



Frankly, I felt bad for this person. I almost wanted to say, “OK then, if you already “know” this,

what‟s YOUR income this year?” You see, your income will be your gauge to see how much you “know”

this stuff. If it‟s not where you want it to be, then you don‟t “know” it yet, you‟ve just heard of it. In

fact, you don‟t “know” anything until you live it, breathe it and take action on it day in and day out.

Makes sense?



Your Client Attraction Assignment:


Get clear on the opportunities that are right under your nose. Take a sheet of paper and at the

top, write down your big goal. Don‟t be shy, no one‟s watching. In big, bold letters, write what you

want in your business. Then, either knowing (or pretending) that you could not fail, list all the

opportunities that you already have right in front of you to make those happen. I know they‟re there. I

can always spot them for people and that‟s the power of a mastermind. Having people see the

opportunities that are right in front of them. But list them all. And then begin to take action on each

and every one of them with courage and fearlessness. Your income will never be the same.



All that said, I urge you NOT to forget the authentic and compelling marketing, systems for

everything, a team, different sources of income, leverage, etc. When you market authentically

and consistently, using ONLY what works, your goals become big-time easy. When you set up systems

for everything in your business and a team to support you, you have more time to devote to

implementing the big opportunities. When you set up additional sources of income, both passive and

leveraged, you make a whole lot more, working half the time.

Are you going to do something about it? If you‟re not where you want to be financially in your business, one of the major reasons is your non-action. If you‟re still at the same place you were before, it‟s because you‟re unwilling to take advantage of the opportunity that is right in front of you, and has been for a long time. And I know you’re probably tired of hearing, “To get different results, you need to do things differently”, but in my experience (especially this year) it is absolutely true. To get a quantum leap in your business, you must be willing to DO what you haven‟t done before, to be courageous, to walk into the opportunity and even to walk into the fear you have associated with it. And please don’t let the simplicity of what I’m telling you undermine the importance of the message. This „arrogance‟ of thinking, “Oh, I already know that!” is another form of self-sabotage and it‟s keeping you from making a whole lot more in your business. Here‟s an example: Someone
  • 4. told me last week that some of this is “basic” stuff. That they already knew this. Frankly, I felt bad for this person. I almost wanted to say, “OK then, if you already “know” this, what‟s YOUR income this year?” You see, your income will be your gauge to see how much you “know” this stuff. If it‟s not where you want it to be, then you don‟t “know” it yet, you‟ve just heard of it. In fact, you don‟t “know” anything until you live it, breathe it and take action on it day in and day out. Makes sense? Your Client Attraction Assignment: Get clear on the opportunities that are right under your nose. Take a sheet of paper and at the top, write down your big goal. Don‟t be shy, no one‟s watching. In big, bold letters, write what you want in your business. Then, either knowing (or pretending) that you could not fail, list all the opportunities that you already have right in front of you to make those happen. I know they‟re there. I can always spot them for people and that‟s the power of a mastermind. Having people see the opportunities that are right in front of them. But list them all. And then begin to take action on each and every one of them with courage and fearlessness. Your income will never be the same. All that said, I urge you NOT to forget the authentic and compelling marketing, systems for everything, a team, different sources of income, leverage, etc. When you market authentically and consistently, using ONLY what works, your goals become big-time easy. When you set up systems for everything in your business and a team to support you, you have more time to devote to implementing the big opportunities. When you set up additional sources of income, both passive and leveraged, you make a whole lot more, working half the time.
