Beyond Success: Breaking Free From Fear, Self-Doubt & Burnout with Steve Barton

What happens when you achieve the success you wanted, but still feel like something is missing? In this episode, we sit down with **Steve Barton**, High-Performance Executive Coach, author, and creator of **The Game of Ten**, to explore what it really takes to move beyond external success and build greater clarity, confidence, and inner stability. After helping scale his family's retail floral business from **$200K to $2 million in annual revenue**, Steve discovered that business success alone doesn't guarantee peace of mind, strong relationships, or personal fulfillment. That realization led him into decades of leadership experience, personal development, and work influenced by Gestalt psychology. We explore Steve's concept of **The Game OFTEN Played** a reactive state driven by fear, self-doubt, guilt, and shame and how shifting toward **The Game of Ten** can help high performers make more intentional decisions and lead from greater awareness. Steve also shares practical insights on **intuition, intentionality, emotional intelligence, and high-performance identity**, including why intuition can become a valuable leadership advantage and how entrepreneurs and executives can pursue extraordinary results without sacrificing their inner peace. The conversation goes beyond traditional ideas of high performance to examine what it means to build success that is aligned internally as well as externally. If you're an **entrepreneur, executive, leader, or high performer** looking to overcome self-doubt, improve decision-making, strengthen relationships, and achieve meaningful success without burnout, this episode offers practical insights for operating at your highest level. **True high performance isn't just about achieving more. It's about becoming more aware of how you're showing up while you achieve it.** #SteveBarton #TheGameOfTen #HighPerformance #Leadership #ExecutiveCoaching #Entrepreneurship #PersonalGrowth #Mindset #EmotionalIntelligence #SelfLeadership #Intuition #Intentionality #Confidence #DecisionMaking #LeadershipDevelopment #PeakPerformance #InnerPeace #BusinessGrowth #SuccessMindset #Podcast #DesignWave
