Why you don't reach your goals

Why you don't achieve all your goals

I have a different system of achieving goals which has worked for me over and over through the years.

The normal way is:

1 Write down your goal

2. Write down the steps to achieving your goal

3. Set a deadline

4. Take action

Think about this:

What happens when you don’t reach the goal on your deadline ?

How do you feel ?

Are you motivated ?

How’s your self esteem ?

I never wrote down a goal or set a deadline until I was about 40 after attending a course on goal setting.

Prior to this I made decisions without writing them down, however I did take action – strangely enough all those decisions and goals came true. The reason these goals came true is because I was passionate about what I was doing and wasn’t motivated by money. Money was a way of keeping count. Isn’t it strange I reached my financial goal by the age of 30 without having my attention it.

I am not saying that the normal way of writing down your goal, reading it everyday, visualizing it, saying affirmations and taking action doesn’t work. It does but not always and there is a reason for this.

It doesn’t matter what you do, what method you try, what pain or suffering you are prepared to go through – you will not achieve this goal.

Why is this ?

One of the reasons is your “belief system”.

There is another reason !

I will reveal this in my book The Streetwise Millionaire which will be released soon.

I also don’t believe in “pain & suffering” to achieve a goal.

All my goals have been achieved with ease and have been fun.

Let’s take an example of when you decide to go on a holiday and make a booking.

Why is that you are packed, ready, excited and at the airport on time (your deadline).

How come most people achieve this goal without writing it down, looking at the goal everyday, visualising it, saying affirmations etc.? Something to think about…..

I have achieved most of my goals. Let me say that again, I have achieved most of MY goals. The ones I have missed are the ones I thought I should have because I thought they will make my father or mother or some other person like me more. For example, my father is a miilionaire. So I thought I should also become fabulously wealthy. I have read almost every personal development book, said affirmations until I became blue in the face, have meditated and visualised, and joined networking businesses and yet remained in debt. But recently I made a discovery. I found out what it is that I really want and that what my Dad or anybody else wants for me is of little consequence. And the most amazing things have started to happen. I am happier now that the strain of trying to please my Dad is gone. I am free. I am enjoying life. I am enjoying my job. I am enjoying my family. And guess what? The money is starting to come too!
