Chapter 8: What truly gets in your way?

Why this chapter matters

Let’s build off the limiting beliefs we previously uncovered and scrutinized. It's frustrating to repeatedly hinder our own progress without knowing why. There are many common ways we get in our own way. Identifying which apply to us is necessary to overcome them.

Goal of this chapter

This chapter provides exercises to evaluate which common blockers we have and add them to our Inner Compass.
