This is something that happens to everybody as far as I can tell. There is a stage in business and life where most people, without consciously deciding to, stop striving for more. For some people they reach this level very early and then coast to the finish line. Others go a little further, while some never stop. You’ll know when you get to yours because that’s when you stop doing the things you know you can do. When you take an additional day off. When you don’t open your computer for a day. For some, that doesn’t seem to matter a lot because they’ve already gone further than they ever though possible. For others, they think they want to do more, but something stops them progressing. There are gurus and coaches who will claim that it’s a fear of success that stops them, but it’s not. It’s also not a fear of failure. No, it’s a lack of belief in their ability or desire to go further. If you have that vague feeling that you’d like to do more but can’t quite bring yourself to make sufficient effort that would be your subconscious mind working hard to keep you safe. That’s what your subconscious mind does, it keeps you in the zone where you feel safe. The best way to overcome that, if that’s what you want to do, is to work on discipline rather than motivation.
