Why your subconscious beliefs are like a bad team member

Subconscious limitations and trauma are like a team member you no longer want to work with. A long time ago, you needed support for a project and you brought that team member on. Let’s call her Jane. Her skillset matched the project to a T, and she did a great job.

Except that now, the business has grown and you need someone with a different skill set.

And quite frankly, Jane is acting quite entitled around the office. She’s been here a long time, feels at home and thinks she knows what’s best for the entire team. She doesn’t want to uplevel her skills because she’s still stuck in a past where her current skills got the company quite far.

Jane is quickly turning into a liability. She’s slowing the entire team down and creating office politics by pitting old hires against new ones. It’s not a pretty picture.

You get along great with Jane. She’s an old friend, loyal, reassuring, comforting and very supportive of you. Losing her would feel like losing a precious ally, and you’re not ready to make that jump.

So you decide to sit on a different floor and and carry on as if she isn’t there. You focus on positivity and and beef up your vision board and goals.
