“Success isn’t just about winning—it’s about knowing who’s trying to hold you back and neutralizing them.”
Suzanne Grieger-Langer
Not everyone wants you to succeed. Preventers—people who hinder your progress out of insecurity—are real and can be highly destructive. Suzanne Grieger-Langer teaches how to identify and neutralize these obstacles.
1. The Two Types of People – Builders and Preventers
- Pleasure-Doers aim to succeed and help others grow.
- Displeasure-Doers (Preventers) try to sabotage others to feel superior.
- Action Tip: Assess your social and professional circle—who builds you up, and who holds you back?
2. Recognizing the Crab Mentality
- The ‘crab mentality’ describes how some people pull others down instead of rising themselves.
- Action Tip: Stay focused on personal growth and distance yourself from those who discourage progress.
3. Protecting Your Success from Energy Vampires
- Some individuals drain mental energy by creating drama, fear, or self-doubt.
- Action Tip: Set firm boundaries and limit exposure to negative influencers.
4. Strengthening Your Defenses – Mental Security Architecture
- Just like physical security, your mind needs defense mechanisms against manipulation and negativity.
- Action Tip: Develop mental resilience through critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and strategic networking.
By eliminating preventers and strengthening mental security, individuals can achieve unstoppable success free from external sabotage.
