About this episode
In this episode, Xindi explores the feeling of being 'behind' in business and how self-sabotage plays a role in it.
I’ve been doing a lot of soul-searching lately. Looking at my business, my life, my patterns… and asking myself: what the f*ck is actually going on here? Because on paper? I’m doing all the things. And yet… there were still seasons where my business slipped into a subtle version of feast and famine. Not the dramatic crash-to-zero kind I used to experience. But enough fluctuation to know: I wasn’t operating at the level I know I’m capable of. In this episode, I share: – The uncomfortable truth behind the feeling of being “behind” in business – Why that restlessness is often feedback you need to listen to, not comparison – How I kept myself in a subtle feast & famine cycle by not trusting what was already working – The exact moment I realised I was self-sabotaging my own momentum – Why success is far more predictable and repeatable than the online space makes it seem – And the shift that allowed me to see how simple, structured, and inevitable business growth can actually feel ___ Applications to Uncopyable is now open.
