3 Reasons Why Most People Fail To Achieve Their Business Goals
Posted by Admin | Filed under SEO and Internet Marketing
Business goals directly tie-in to one's finances - which in turn affects how we live - we pursue them more aggressively. That’s the good news. However in that pursuit lies several pitfalls. Pitfalls that are well hidden from the naked eye. Pitfalls that only reveal themselves once we begin our business goal achievement quest. What are those pitfalls exactly? Here are three that strike most entrepreneurs at the least favorable moments:
1) You fell for the infamous “You are LIMITLESS” mantra. Bestselling spiritual/self-help author Wayne Dyer often reminds his followers, “We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” And even though the soul may be free as vast as the universe - we are still confined to an overcoat of skin and bones and gravity. And it is this temporary overcoat that causes very real limitations. I mean let’s face it, there can only be one American Idol in 2008 (or Canadian Idol or whatever Idol for the part of the world you live in). There's one President , one Queen, one gold medalist slalom skier, one winner of the Best Actor on Academy Awards night.
2) You didn’t anticipate the potential problems along the way - or the residuals of success. As I write this article the jackpot for the New York state lottery is at $115 million dollars. Manhattan office workers file into the deli’s during their lunch hour to stand on those lottery lines, and fantasize amongst each other about winning. From the middle class viewpoint, a big lottery win looks absolutely delicious. But Dr. Steven J. Danish , professor of psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, paints a very different picture.
3) You focus a lot of energy on past mistakes, instead of learning from them and moving on. A very dear friend whom I've known for 15 years has been wanting to start his own business for as long as I've known him. Early in our friendship he and his sister-in-law decided to do some kind of venture together. The venture flopped. He lost $4K, while she lost almost nothing. Over a decade later , he still talks about how much he wants to go into business for himself. But the memory of losing that $4K re-plays itself over and over in his mind. It’s the reason why he commutes to a government job every day, instead of taking the plunge and starting his own business.
