The author identifies 7 reasons why we sabotage success:
Enemy One: Egotism—“I know best.”
EnemyTwo: Life Mismanagement—“I’ll get to it later.”
EnemyThree: Bad Habits—“What harm could it do?”
Enemy Four: Indulgence—“I deserve it.”
Enemy Five: Broken Relationships—“Why don’t they just understand me?”
Enemy Six: Isolation—“I can do it on my own.”
Enemy Seven: Self-sabotage—"It’s not my fault.”
