The Self-Sabotage Code: Break the Cycle of Procrastination, Perfectionism, and Paralysis

By Ujjwal Ganesh

You're not stuck because you're lazy. You're stuck because you're smart.

For three years, you've been researching the business. Planning the move. Preparing to have that conversation. Your plans are perfect. Your research is thorough. Your intentions are genuine.

And nothing is happening.

Welcome to the Waiting Room-where intelligent people spend years preparing for a life that never begins.

THE SELF-SABOTAGE CODE reveals seven invisible cognitive patterns (what the author calls "viruses") that keep capable people paralyzed:

The Waiting Room - Why you keep saying "once I... then I'll..."The Collector's Fallacy - Your 47 unread books and 12 unfinished coursesIdentity Lockdown - How "I'm not that kind of person" becomes a prisonThe Optimization Trap - Six weeks researching, zero weeks doingThe Rehearsal Loop - The conversation you've had 47 times in your head, zero times in realityProxy Goal Syndrome - Why you have everything and feel emptyThe Noble Struggle - Making things harder to feel worthy

This isn't another productivity book. It's a diagnostic manual for your mind. Each chapter exposes a specific pattern with uncomfortable precision, then provides the antidote: the Ugly Step-the smallest, most imperfect action you can take RIGHT NOW.

Written by Ujjwal Ganesh, who spent a decade building other people's businesses while his own ideas gathered dust, this book is for anyone who:

✓ Knows exactly what they should do but still doesn't do it
✓ Has more perfect plans than imperfect experiences
✓ Feels relief every time they decide to "start tomorrow"
✓ Watches others succeed at things they've been planning longer

Warning: This book will make you uncomfortable. It will expose patterns you've been running for years. It will remove your permission to pretend you don't know what you need to do.

The door to the Waiting Room was never locked.

You just believed it was.

Close this description. Take the ugly step. Now.
