Do you have goals that you want to achieve in your life? If you answer yes, this is the perfect article for you because you are about to discover why most people fail to achieve their goals. Once you knew the reason, you can use it to help you to accomplish any goal that you set in your life. So continue to read on to discover this powerful reason and principle behind it.
The number one reason most people fail to achieve what they want in their lives is that they do not have a strong reason behind what they want. They know what they want to achieve, but they do not know why they want to achieve it. When you do not know why, you will never have the drive and motivation to do it.
Think about it, why do you work hard on something? It is because of the reason. And if your reason is strong and emotional, it will motivate you a lot. Let me give you an example. Say you are a smoker and you cannot get rid of the smoking habit no matter what you do. And until one day, you are diagnosed with lung cancer because of heavy smoking. Now, do you think that you will stop this dangerous smoking habit no matter what?
The answer is obvious, when you have a strong and emotional reason, you will do it no matter how difficult it is. When you are diagnosed with lung cancer, it gives you the reason that you want to stay alive and you do not want to die at this age. This is why the reason behind your goals is important. They serve as the fuel to your motivation.
In addition, if your reason is not strong enough, you will procrastinate and never take action about it. You may feel motivated and take a lot of action in the beginning, but success is not an overnight process. You need to take consistent action, do you think you can stay that way and keep burning your motivation all the time? This is the main reason people procrastinate and never do anything about their goals, because they do not have a strong and burning reason for what they want.
Now you know what is the number one reason people fail to accomplish what they want in their lives. So ask yourself and review all the reasons behind your goals right now. Make sure you know exactly why you want to accomplish them and nothing can ever stop you.

In part one of this series, we discussed how “Saying No” is the world’s best, fastest and easiest productivity strategy, primarily because it simplifies.
You will succeed on the basis of what, where and how you say “no”. And “Saying NO”
allows you to get more control over your daily life and activities—IMMEDIATELY!
For the first 100 days of next year, you must resolve to give “NO” the strategic resolve it deserves!
The following are fifteen simple, effective and empowering strategies that you can use to get results—IMMEDIATELY!
1. What strategies, initiatives and activities
will you say “no” to?
There is great feeling, focus, empowerment, and impact when everyone agrees on paper the activities that will not be done.
Pull out a piece of paper and list all of the superfluous activities that can slow down, or prevent progress from happening altogether.
Everything is fair game and absolutely nothing is sacred in this exercise. Simply put, if it does not advance you forward, then say no!
2. What meetings will you decline or delegate?
List every meeting you have in place for the remainder of the year and determine which you will NOT be attending. Meetings consume large chunks of productive time, most are run improperly and inefficiently, and most can be declined or delegated to someone else.
3. What relationships will you not keep?
The way you manage your relationships has an enormous impact on your ability to perform at consistently high levels.
Identify the top three energy-draining relationships, that you are committed to saying “no” to for the next 100 days. Then focus on creating strategies to free yourself from each of them.
4. What measurements will you ignore?
Say goodbye to all lagging indicators and ONLY pay attention to measurements related to customer satisfaction and the levers that directly drive sales, margin, operating expense and ROI.
5. What customers will you not target?
Identify your IDEAL prospect, client or customer and quit chasing every opportunity as it’s a complete waste of time and resources. Once identified, you must then articulate who you will NOT target.
Finally, make decisions on segments of your customers that deserve “VIP” treatment.
6. What competitors will you not follow?
Way too much time is lost by following and focusing on too many competitors and so-called guru’s. Identify the top three and immediately remove yourself from all of the other email distribution lists, blogs and other related communications.
7. What websites will you not visit?
Web sites are like magnets and vampires, as they draw you in and suck away productive time. Pull up your list of favorites, delete most of them and keep only the ones of greatest value. You must institute a “No Surfing” policy and stick to it.
8. What money will you not spend?
Put yourself on a fiscal diet as every dollar spent should be thought of as an investment towards greater operating income -- even petty cash. With this in mind, what things, or even entire budget categories, will you not spend?
9. What trips will you not make?
It’s hard to deny the power of ‘showing up’ in person as great things happen when you show up and interact with customers and colleagues. Nonetheless, trips consume massive gobs of time and money. Therefore, consider how you can use technology to replace trips, and only travel when it can make a big impact towards your primary goals.
10. What foods will you not eat?
Reaching the next level of performance and productivity begins with how you manage energy. It’s disturbing to see the immense amount of human and corporate potential squandered due to the misuse of energy.
Unhealthy eating habits, lack of exercise, negativity, sarcasm, unfocused goals and strategies are all contributing factors to energy loss. Focus in on your nutritional intake and exercise by eliminating any food, or drink that compromises your energy levels.
11. What excuses will you not engage in?
Excuses drain energy, time, production and profits. Have a brutally honest conversation with yourself and determine the excuses or behaviors that you must do away with. I’m aware that it’s easier said than done, but you will NOT be able to achieve your true potential by fighting for and repeating useless behavior.
12. What will you not say?
Develop the habit of saying NOTHING that does not move the ‘agenda’ forward or uplift others. Speak ONLY of the solution, and waste not a second on the problem or blame.
You will save a lot of time and mental energy which can be directed towards more useful activities.
13. What thoughts will you not entertain?
Remember that which does not move you towards your goal, takes you away from it. Therefore remove those thoughts that are limiting, defeating or downright negative and consciously choose to replace them with thoughts of abundance, optimism, and positivity. Don’t tolerate negative thoughts or conversations from yourself or others.
14. What television shows will you not view?
If there was ever a time hog that needed to be slaughtered, television tops the list. In even a moderate TV-watching household, it’s simply amazing how many hours are spent in front of the box. The solution—go cold turkey!
15. What will you no longer tolerate from yourself or others?
Saying “no” and meaning it is the easiest word for setting a limit, holding firm to boundaries, and being clear about what you will or will not do.
Identify the standards you wish to measure your life by and refuse to lower or negotiate at any time, nor for any reason.
No is a tool Use the veto power of “No” regularly and with conviction as it’s a powerful strategic weapon that you can use to maximize your results in the first 100 days of this year.
YES, YES, YES
Let’s now focus on what you should say “yes” to. How does greater wealth, health and happiness sound to you?
Say the word—yes, and I’ll show you how to turn youself into an unstoppable powerhouse!
In the next few days, my friend Gary Ryan Blair is going to be releasing the most extreme goal achievement program called the 100 Day Challenge.
It’s going to be a wild ride. You’ll achieve more goals, and make far more progress over the first 100 days of the year than you ever thought possible.
I promise!
Say the word—yes, and you’ll learn about iron commitment and absolute accountability. I’ll prove to you that you can deliver results that are in a word—astounding.

If you watched the swimming events at the Olympics, you probably observed the incredible focus the medalists demonstrated. Sure, they're strong and fast. But when hundredths— maybe even thousandths—of a second are all that separate the winners from the losers, it's obvious that something besides strength and speed is at work.
A comment by Flip Darr, a former collegiate swimming coach who played a part in training eight Olympic medalists, sheds some light on what that critical ingredient might be. "I felt in my coaching career that if I would work on [the swimmers'] head[s], their bodies would come along," he said. "A lot of coaches work on their bodies and then at the last moment try to do their heads. The thing is, if they are working with their heads all the time, and working with their head over the body, mind over matter, they will have more confidence when they walk up to the block."
What a great illustration of the value of good thinking. Athletic ability is important, but preparing for the biggest race of one's life is as much mental as it is physical—if not more so. As Bill MacCartney, the former head football coach at the University of Colorado, once told me, "Mental is to physical what four is to one."
That's a powerful argument in the case for good thinking—on the football field, as well as in your office at work. The specific thoughts that increase your effectiveness as a leader might not be the same as those required for an Olympic medal, but the overall commitment to thinking is identical.
As we continue the discussion about thinking that we began in the last issue of Leadership Wired, here are five statements that further underscore the importance of solid contemplation. => http://bit.ly/vP7eZq
After having completed a week of studying the chapter called "Self-Confidence" in Napoleon Hill's 1925 edition of The Law of Success, I wanted to present a powerful tool for overcoming fear that was popularized in the latter part of the 20th Century. This tool is one anyone who can touch their body in any way can use. If you make diligent use of this simple little technique you will be able to overcome your fear of success or of failure. The result being that you will be able to achieve your goals.
First Step Is Complex Visualization
I'm sure you have heard of the importance of visualizing your goal to fix them firmly in your mind. Because the of the word "visualization," people think they only need to form an image. Most don't realize that fixing your goal firmly in mind also requires the incorporation of all your senses. For instance, if your goal is to have a loving relationship, form a scene in your mind of what that loving relationship would not only look like, but also the sounds, tastes, smells and touches involved. The most powerful addition to your image is your own personal feelings. Be sure and feel the emotions of love, acceptance, joy, desire in this relationship you want.
If your visualization is about money, form an image of all the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, emotions and physical sensations of what having money is to you. If being wealthy involves good food and drink, smell the aromas, taste the savory or sweetness of what you put in your mouth, hear the background sounds of wherever you want to be enjoying this meal, feel the texture of the money in your hand, see your bank statement, experience the feelings of security that come with your money.
Second Step is Color
As you can tell, forming your visualization can take some time and, if done with full activation of all your senses, can be rather complex. You gather your total experience and link it to a color. What color represents for you the scene you so completely formed? If you are color blind and can only see shades of grey, choose a part of your image, say a wine glass, tree or twenty dollar bill that can bring to mind the entire scene. See this color or image overlay the deep sensory image you have developed.
Third Step is Anchoring in the Scene
You want a very quick action that anchors in your complex visualization. Your body is an information transmitter. Put information in your body and it will hold it there for you. This is a type of cellular memory. Make use of this power of your body by anchoring in your complex and complete sensory scene you developed. Touch your body while the scene in your mind is at its height with the color or single image you have selected to represent the whole. Bringing your thumb and forefinger together of one hand is what most people use. If you experience paralysis that prevents you from moving your fingers, press your lips together firmly, move your tongue in a particular way or even squeeze your eyes shut. Once you combine the physical anchor with the color or symbolic representation and anchor this into your body with some sort of physical touch, you have what you need to eliminate fear.
Forth Step Is Using the Positive to Extinguish the Fear
Now you are set for a very simple process that, when used regularly, will assist you in get rid of your fear. Note I wrote "simple." I did not say this is easy. The simple process takes dedication and commitment.
Be sure you are not touching you body using your physical anchor. Now bring to mind your fear. Experience your feelings of fear. Now use your physical anchor, such as bringing your thumb and forefinger together. See the color or symbol you developed to represent your complex scene. Get in touch with all the sensory information of the scene that is positive for you. When the fear is gone, or at a very low level, release your physical anchor and repeat the process.
You can do this if you will make the time and effort to do so.
