Achieve Anything You Want in Life
Why is it that so few people are willing to keep changing and
taking action until they get what they want? Why do so many people
quit along the way?
Worse still, why do some people even procrastinate in initiating
action? The reason is that while everybody desires to succeed, only
a few are truly COMMITTED to their goals.
For most people, having more money, more freedom, more security and
more success is a desire. They think it would really be great to
have it. But they can live without it, if they had to. As a result,
they never take action as something more important always comes up
to fill up their time.
When a goal is nothing more than a feeble desire or a wish, you
will find yourself being held back by setbacks, frustration and
failures.
People whose goals are nothing more than desires will only do
whatever is within their comfort zone to achieve it.
Beyond that, they will give themselves all kinds of excuses for not
doing it. As a result, they will never do whatever it takes to get
what they want.
There was once a financial advisor who approached me for advice. He
had been in the business for five years and had attended many
seminars and read many books on sales and success.
Right from the start, he had set goals to achieve the Million
Dollar Round Table, which represents the top 6% of advisors in the
world.
However, he couldn’t understand why he never got close to the mark,
despite working ‘so hard’. He asked me what he needed to do to get
there. I sat him down and gave him a whole list of action steps and
strategies he had to put in place to increase his sales.
I told him that he needed to make 20 cold calls a day, attend two
networking functions a week, invest in impressive looking
brochures, spend his nights targeting night shift workers (who are
a big untapped segment), spend his weekends presenting seminars and
organizing road-shows with side walk surveys.
He was also told to upgrade his product knowledge skills every month.
As I went along, I could tell that doing all these things was going
to stretch him well beyond his comfort zone. He was not prepared to
give up his weekends; he was not prepared to spend some late nights
prospecting nor was he willing to invest money in brochures &
upgrade his skills.
He started coming out with excuses like ‘I don’t have the time’, ‘I
don’t have the money’, ‘ I don’t like reading’, ‘I’ve never done it
before’, ‘It’s too much work’ and so on.
As we parted, I doubted that he would use even one of the
techniques I suggested, even though he knew that it was a proven
formula with many others I had worked with. This man is typical of
those who set goals but are not prepared to do whatever it takes.
Unfortunately, most people are like that; they are not willing to
do what it takes to become successful. And because of that they
never will be. Success doesn’t happen by chance, you must do the
necessary before you can enjoy the fruits of your labor.
If you understand this and apply it in your life, you will be among
the top 5% of people who make success a must and therefore receive
in abundance everyday.
Success is Yours,
