Overview of the Imposter Success Saboteur Archetype™

(Copyright Natasha Bray 2020)

When your Imposter Success Saboteur is strong, you have usually achieved a significant degree of success in your life, but deep down you believe it’s down to luck, fluke, mistake or chance and you do not always recognise your success or feel successful internally. You may not truly believe that you are as successful or intelligent as others believe you to be and may fear being ‘found out’ as not enough. You may ignore your intuition and find it difficult to trust your own decisions and your million dollar idea probably already came to you one day (in a dream, walking or even in the shower!) but you ignored it. You may feel like you act confident but don’t truly feel it and deep down struggle with self doubt. Your lack of self trust is blocking you from having the limitless impact, wealth, success and love you are capable and worthy of.

2 Key Presentations in business:

1. Stop yourself staring ANYTHING: selling or creating in your business. Learning without earning. Content but no purpose/ sales. No clear offers.

2. Things suddenly stop working like they used to -sales go down, marketing stops converting, launches (eek!). Revenue goes down.

Origin of Imposter Wound
The ‘Imposter’ Success Saboteur Archetype™ is activated as a Survival Strategy when you experience something as a child that causes you to doubt yourself or believe or feel that you cannot trust yourself and your abilities. This could be influenced by experiencing a deep betrayal from someone you trusted, criticism or untrue accusations from a parent or teacher, excessive punishment for normal child behaviors, inconsistent parenting, being expected to do things above your age range or never receiving approval or support from a parent. It is especially influenced by only feeling you received love and attention when you were achieving or performing well.

Before you go, your Primary Saboteur is only one piece of the puzzle. There are 5 key Success Saboteur Archetypes™ stopping you from the success, wealth, impact and freedom you are destined for. Knowing and working on all 5 is essential to upleveling your beliefs, business and bank account!

Here is a short summary of the other 4 Success Saboteur Archetypes blocking you (remember you have all 5 in you!):

The Overgiver Success Saboteur Archetype™:

The ‘Overgiver’ has a strong desire to take care of others and go above and beyond for them (possibly even rescue them), whether that is her clients, her family or her friends. Helping others feels like part of her life’s calling. Whilst this is an admirable quality to have, it can be at a cost to herself. She struggles to say ‘no’ even when something adds extra stress and strain to her and this can sometimes lead to underlying resentment and/or feelings of being taken advantage of. Her biggest struggle is knowing and believing she is enough, exactly as she is.

The ‘Hustler’ Success Saboteur Archetype™:

The ‘hustler’ believes she has to really work hard in order to achieve the success she craves. It feels she’s trying so hard, people often comment how much and how hard she works but she feels her bank balance isn’t quite reflecting the effort. The thing is, even when she has a big month in her business or reaches a goal she’s never achieved before, she still isn’t satisfied and moves straight onto the next goal. Whenever she starts to see success in one area, it doesn’t seem to last long (hello feast and famine income cycle!) OR it comes at a sacrifice to success in another area of her life such as her health or relationships. She wants to be able to have it all, but is working so hard she is heading for burnout (or is already there). Her worth is highly based on her income earning ability and external achievements. She has some deep blocks around money, love and success that are holding her back from the success in all areas that she is really capable of.

The Outcast Success Saboteur Archetype™:

The ‘Outcast’ is usually quite independent and tends to keep herself to herself. She has never really felt like she fitted in, but deep down she craves to feel accepted and like she belongs somewhere. She has a deep fear of rejection and this makes her ‘hide’ her true self from the world. Anything that involves being seen or speaking out is especially difficult for her as it affects her sense of safety. She keeps herself small as she believes nobody is interested in what she has to say and that ‘hiding’ or being invisible will keep her safe. Her biggest struggle is being visible. Despite this, she has dreams of being more visible, speaking on stages, writing books and creating a huge ripple of change in the world.

The Overprotector Success Saboteur Archetype™:

If you have a strong ‘Overprotector’ Success Saboteur you crave more success but deep down also fear it is not safe in some way - this keeps you stuck, going around in circles, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. It stops you taking the positive risks and action needed to create more success. Usually, there needs to be a big crisis point or drama for you to change something that isn’t working. You probably felt unsafe many times in childhood - home- school or both. Playing safe is keeping you small and unfulfilled and limiting your naturally BIG success potential. You have deep blocks around how you perceive success and how safe you are to be your naturally successful self.

When you heal all 5 of these Success Saboteurs on multiple levels you are able to really unlock that Revolutionary Woman within - that most magnetic version of you - so you can lead yourself, your business and your relationships for true success & wealth.
