(Case Study) The Business Owner in Debt: Father-Related Subconscious Sabotage

Jul 03, 2024

Case Study: The Business Owner in Debt

Scenario: A well-known business owner appears to run a successful enterprise, but in reality, he is always in debt and struggles financially despite his intelligence and business acumen.

Subconscious Belief: Growing up, this individual internalised the belief that achieving more than his father was unacceptable and would result in rejection. His father’s competitive nature reinforced feelings of inadequacy and fear of surpassing his father.

His conscious mind desired wealth, but his subconscious desired being accepted by his father, which meant earning less than him. This might sound illogical, but subconscious beliefs follow emotions and ingrained patterns, not logic.

Manifestation of Self-Sabotage:

  • Unfinished Business: He consistently leaves multiple projects incomplete, creating chaos in his business operations.

  • Avoiding Sales Calls: He neglects essential sales activities, which directly impacts revenue.

  • Chasing Shiny Objects: He diverts his attention to new deals and ventures instead of focusing on his core business.

Key Insight: "Subconscious fear or negativity in relation to a conscious goal will alter your behaviour and therefore your results."

It's important to note that this sabotage will be outside of your awareness; you won't see it happening.

Understanding the Conflict: The subconscious mind is a powerful force that drives your behaviour without you even realising it. Recognising patterns of self-sabotaging behaviours and understanding that these patterns are driven by underlying subconscious beliefs is key. When subconscious fears or negative beliefs conflict with your conscious goals, it leads to self-sabotaging behaviours.
