5 Roadblocks That Could Prevent You From Moving Forward
Working with business owners, executives, and entrepreneurs over the past 10 years, we’ve been able to see a common pattern and identify 5 roadblocks that prevent people from getting the results they know they are capable of.
Often when people come to us, it’s because they are looking for a new strategy to overcome procrastination, take action, or to get more motivation because they are not achieving what they want. Their ‘default strategy’ is not working and not giving them the results they are seeking.
They reach out because they feel stuck, unfulfilled and somewhat overwhelmed at the same time. They are frustrated with themselves for not being able to move forward in their career or business while they see their friends and colleagues making it happen.
Some of the common signs that these roadblocks might currently be playing up in your life include:
- Feeling you’re procrastinating, not taking action, and beating yourself up about it. It makes you feel bad but still doesn’t move the needle.
- Feeling bogged down into ‘analysis paralysis’, always looking for more knowledge or skills, despite the fact that you already have enough to make your first move.
- Feeling overwhelmed and that it’s all too hard because you cannot figure out the first step.
- Experiencing internal resistance to execute on your plan and seeing yourself jumping from distraction to distraction (the bright shiny object syndrome) instead of staying focus and getting things done.
- Experiencing negative emotions and self-doubt because you have nothing to show for. And there goes the mind chatter “I’m not good enough”, “I don’t know enough”, “I’m a failure”, “Why this is happening to me”…
- Giving into some form of addictive behaviour. For example, that little extra glass of wine in the evening that was enjoyable but has now become a habit. You don’t even enjoy it anymore, you simply just have to have it to feel better and escape the daily grind…
If you’re experiencing any of the above, or if your friends are making remarks to you about what they see, just know that these are feedback signs to let you know that it’s time to change something.
Based on our research on human behaviour and years of experience in coaching, I’d like to share with you the 5 roadblocks that typically prevent people from getting the results that they want.
- Block #1. A lack of clarity of who you are and of what makes you tick. Not fully knowing what drives your everyday decisions, actions, behaviours, and results.
- Block #2. Letting some deeply ingrained limiting beliefs you have about yourself and your capabilities run your life and your decisions, and actions or non-actions.
- Block #3. Going through the ups and downs of the emotional rollercoaster and not knowing how to manage your emotions effectively. The most common emotions that stop people in their tracks include fear, anxiety, worry, shame, and guilt. Those are the biggies.
- Block #4. Not being clear on the “big picture” of your life, and your “Why”. Why do you do what you do? What’s your purpose, your personal mission? What’s the one thing that would get your out of bed in the morning and make you feel fulfilled, no matter what happens?
- Block #5. No clear or realistic strategy on the small action steps required to execute on your idea, your goals, or your plan. Combine this lack of clarity on the path with not fully understanding your natural flow of “Doing things” and it feels like you’re trying to climb a very tall wall in front of you and it ain’t going to happen.
In short, these are the 5 most common roadblocks that affect leaders, entrepreneurs and business owners on a daily basis.
If you’re not getting the results that you wish for, it’s not just about getting a new strategy. Every move starts from within, and that is where most people get it wrong.
The search for some external ‘Magic Bullet’ to our problems (a cookie-cutter solution) is often futile. The solution is really getting to explore deeper inside and find the solutions within.
Begin by better knowing yourself and identify the internal blocks that are you battling with. Only then develop a customised strategy that fits you like a glove.
Of course, that introspection is often not that easy to do on your own. Why? Because You can only see what you know, and most likely your expertise does not reside in human behaviour. You expertise reside in your business, what you do in your current job and the knowledge and skills you’ve been developing in those areas.
Thus, the only way to go beyond your own limitations is to get help from someone who has made his career to better understand human behaviour and how people tick. Someone, like a coach, that will ask you different questions. Questions that will stretch the boundaries of your thinking and help you get a much deeper understanding and appreciation of yourself and what you already have to move forward.
A skilled coach that will offer you new ways of looking at yourself and your life, new ways to consider possibilities rather than focusing on the problems that are currently at the forefront of your mind. Someone that will help you rewire your mind and habits. Because, when you focus on the problem, you see more of the problem.
Einstein said it best “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result”.
That’s why over the past 20 years, Marcia and I have researched, experimented and carefully assembled together various pieces and tools to address each one of those blocks. The culmination of these efforts has led to CLEAR PATH FORWARD. Clear Path Forward represents our life’s work put together into a simple, practical, and result-focused coaching program that helps people break through those 5 roadblocks.

In Nutshell:
Before looking for a new strategy, take the time to better know yourself – your strength, your limitations, and what’s really holding you back in your mind. Reach out and get some help, don’t stay stuck because you think you should all sort it out by yourself. Be willing to explore other avenues… It’s never too late!
