I wanted to share a post over at my blog Christian Business Crossroads.  It is called Self Sabotage:  Stopping the Cycle.  I know this isn’t just a business issue.  But you may see yourself in one of the three areas:

When Things Aren’t Going Well

“Kick me while I am down” comes to mind when things are not going well, and new issues, and problems seem to occur.  Especially in business.  If we have a bad month or lose a big sale, we begin to wonder what we did to cause it.  Should I even be in this business?  What was I thinking?  We begin to have tapes play in our head that effect our mood and our decision-making.  Before we know it, one small setback turns into giving up, changing directions yet again, or maybe just into apathy which becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy.
