The #1 mistake that people make in business that absolutely, positively leads to failure is that they lie to themselves. They pretend to want success, but they really don't - at least not bad enough. They're lying to themselves. I've been an astute observer of people for many, many years. And basically, you have two types of people. Those that DO and those that DON'T.
Those that DO are usually focused, committed, disciplined, motivated and determined individuals who may not always do things perfect, and may make mistakes along the way. But invariably, they keep plugging along, until they figure it out - until they achieve success. They seem to find a way to make it happen, regardless of the odds or the circumstances.
Those that DON'T are undisciplined, unfocused, unmotivated individuals who are easily distracted. Oh, they'll make make a half-hearted effort at success, but to them, it's much more fun to play online all day, or hangout with their friends. Achieving success is too much work for these individuals. So they make excuses for why they aren't succeeding. No money, no experience, too young, too old, the economy sucks, etc., etc., etc. Year after year they continue to do the same things that losers do. And year after year they end up in the same exact place - going nowhere.
The question is, which group do you belong to? If you're a DOER, congratulations! I salute you. Keep up the good work! On the other hand, if you're in the other group, it's not too late to change things - to turn things around. It's not too late to start doing things the right way - to start working doggedly toward your dreams.
Success is still very much within your grasp. But it's not going to come to you. You have to go and get it.
It's all up to you!
