Why do so many people work harder than ever, only to feel stuck, frustrated, or burned out?
Ridgefield entrepreneur and success strategist Mona Thorpe believes the answer lies in what she calls the “Trojan Goal” — the subconscious saboteur running the show beneath our conscious ambitions.
Thorpe has just released her new book, The Goal Behind the Goal: Uncovering & Transforming the Hidden Saboteur Limiting Your Success, which is already creating buzz for its fresh take on achievement. The book gives readers a practical process for uncovering hidden resistance and finally aligning with the success they consciously desire.
A longtime Fairfield County resident, Thorpe has been coaching entrepreneurs, executives, and creatives for more than 30 years. Along the way, she has founded five businesses, two of which landed on Oprah’s Favorite Things and in The New York Times on several occasions. Now, she is channeling her decades of private breakthroughs into a roadmap for the public.
“People think if they just work harder or try another strategy, things will finally click,” said Thorpe. “But it’s not about doing more. It’s about uncovering what’s been quietly pulling the strings beneath the surface. Once you see it, the game changes — and success becomes natural instead of forced.”
To bring the book to real life, Thorpe leads 5-day ‘Hidden Goal Challenges’, where participants learn how to spot the Trojan Goal in their own lives and rewire their approach to goals and success.
Early readers are calling the book transformational. “I never realized how much my subconscious was holding me back until I read this,” said one executive client. “The shift was so immediate that within weeks, I landed opportunities I had chased for years. This is unlike anything else I’ve read.”
