7 high achiever biggest struggles.
7 High Achiever Struggles article dives into the tough challenges that successful people face but rarely talk about.
1. Being misunderstood
Rare situations to meet someone who would really get you. In most situations, you feel people are in contact with you because they want something from you.
It’s so disappointing that you self-isolate yourself because you don’t want to be surrounded by mediocrity and being used. Spending too much time alone can lead to struggle number 2.
2. Loneliness
The silence of an empty office…
You are staying late because anyway there is nothing special to do at home.
You communicate too much time through technology and less with real people.
3. Insane amount of work
You want a better reality for yourself. You want the best. So you work even harder. You work so hard that you become physically sick. And when this happens, and you can’t work anymore, you suffer from guilt. That your business is on hold…
You don’t give up because you have a powerful soul. But you start to struggle from number 4.
4. Procrastination
Lack of rest. Unbalanced lifestyle. It brings your mental health to a level where procrastinating is the only way to rest.
Chatting with people instead of working.
Jumping from one task to another.
Buying courses instead of creating and doing the challenging tasks.
You no longer have the emotional capacity to do uncomfortable things that make you grow.
You are a smart person. You see that things aren’t right. So you try to think and analyze everything, and this brings you to struggle number 5.
5. Overthinking
You are looking for a solution in the outside world. You want to solve your problems. You constantly ask for feedback from others. You are thinking about each small step before doing anything.
You start to struggle to make decisions.
Everything inside of you starts to collapse like a domino effect, and you land on struggle number 6.
6. Burnout
You start to be irritated by people and are even more misunderstood than before.
The noises around you disturb you.
You have an inner dialog each morning to convince yourself to stand up from bed. Because, unfortunately, things that were exciting you before don’t spark anything inside.
You can look at new sales notifications in your email, and you don’t care. No emotions…
Your productivity is declining fast, and your business starts to get a hit.
Sales start dropping, and in panic, you get to struggle number 7.
7. Fear of losing everything
You are trying to wake yourself up as your deepest fear is losing everything you have built.
Your business, your lifestyle. For you to lose it, means to lose yourself.
You can’t divide yourself from business. This business is a part of your soul — an expression of you in a physical world.
You find the last reserve of your energy inside and are doing a boost of work. You can focus again, but the price for that focus is high. Results are not the same, and it takes you an enormous amount of effort. It’s not as easy as before.
You know that this isn’t going to last forever.
You are anxious and in panic. And you don’t know what to do.
I hope you aren’t in stage 7 right now. As this is a really tough place to be.
Perhaps you are somewhere in the middle.
Like all of us… Because having struggles it’s a part of being alive. There is no need to go down the ladder and find yourself in a disaster. There are many things that we all can do to feel better and become better.
