Self-Sabotage Isn’t the Problem (Here’s What Really Is)

Dr. Noah St John argues self-sabotage is a symptom, not the cause. Quick-fix self-help is like taking a painkiller for a toothache. One client earned more in real estate after his 12-Week Breakthrough program than in 30 years of other seminars.

lot of people talk about self-sabotage or get out of your own way, right? Or whatever. And yes, that's true. And a lot of people need that. But prior to my work, prior to my coaching and what I teach, my system, do you know what the, what the solution was for self-sabotage? In other words, if you're sabotaging yourself, do you know what they said before me? Well, if you're sabotaging yourself, don't do that. Wow, thank you. That's really helpful. Thank you. That— wow, I feel so much better now. Why didn't I think of that? So you— that's why you want to like say, seriously, dude? I mean, come on. No, that's not it. And so the point is that sabotage— what's interesting, you know, what I identify in my trainings is that self-sabotage is a symptom. That's not the cause, right? So they're treating it as a cause when it isn't. It's exactly like, imagine if you have a toothache, right? Let's say you're 2/3 You're like, oh man, geez, this really hurts. And so what do you do? You go to the dentist and the dentist says, yep. Yeah, you got a cavity there. And you're like, yeah, well, it really hurts. And he goes, okay, well here, have some pain pills and good luck. Wait a minute. No, I mean, it's not like I want to have a cavity, but this happened. So can you fix it? Oh yeah. So sure. Just take some pain pills and then you won't feel it anymore. Wait a minute. No, that's not the solution. All you did was put a Band-Aid on it. No, we gotta fix the damn problem. We gotta really go in there. Sometimes, That's why I say, you know, it can be emotional. And you know, sometimes we get, you know, grown men in tears sometimes because they're like, oh my gosh. Like, I mean, I had another client and he was, he'd been studying this stuff. He told me that he had gone to personal growth seminars and all those gurus for over 30 years. He actually had a, he had a, I think like a PhD or an MD or something. You know, he got like this advanced degree from some college. And I worked with him for 12 weeks. We have a program called the 12 Week Breakthrough. Mm-hmm. Where I help people make more in 12 weeks than they did in the past 12 months while winning their lives back. So he said, Noah, you taught me more in 12 weeks than I did in 30— than I learned in 30 years of going to all these other guys. And I'm like, okay, well great. I'm happy for you. And then now he's in real estate. He went on to do multimillion and then multibillion dollar deals. So you talk about hockey. I mean, we have all of these stories and many, many more on our website. So, I mean, and like you said a moment ago, these sound incredible, but they're all real people, real stories. And what's really exciting to see Is that the person who has or had spent all this money on all these other programs and they really were stuck because those other guys are just talking at the surface level. Here's a pain pill. No, that's not gonna solve the problem. So we really get to the root of the cause and then talk you through it.
