Top 5 reasons why I don’t succeed

;I decided to take a look at what I’ve been doing for the past 40 years of my life when it occurred to me that I still live hand to mouth.It is a wake up call to everyone when you find yourself one day not able to pay for your mortgage and start wondering what bills to pay and when. It is not funny and can be very depressing .So after going through the mandatory depression phase, I have decided to do something about it.

The first thing I have done is accepted a few facts on why I have not succeeded thus far.

1. Not Set Goals

It seems not possible but if one doesn’t have set goals where is one going. The idea that I had that I would make a lot of money one day really has not worked for me so far. One needs to have well set out goals . My first is to increase my web earnings by 20% every month and we start this today. I shall have a run down of the earnings every month .

2. No written goals

All goals should be written especially since one tends to forget them. I cannot remember even my new year resolution for 2007. How was I going to succeed without even remembering what I was aiming for.For this I now have a personal journal, and excell spreadsheet and also got one of those accounting softwares to track each and every one of my goals

3. Lack of Discipline

So today I have decided to stop smoking but guess what ? Since I still have a pack remaining I will first finish the pack then start stopping to smoke later.That has been a continuos process for a very long time. Then I keep on asking myself, why can’t I stop smoking?

4. Poor Time Management.

I find myself always with no time at the end of the day. How come even when I work 12 hours a day I can’t get 30 minutes in a day to do my laundry. I will however entertain a couple of my friends for over 3 hours without any concern. During that time, life has gone on and Bill Gates has added a couple more million to his bank account. Somehow I have to better plan my time.

5. Terrible Money Management

It goes without saying that if I can’t plan my time, I surely can’t plan my money. I have discovered that it’s not how much one earns but how well they handle what they have. I realized that I do earn more than most of the people I know but I happen to be the one with all the financial problems. It is time to stop that if I am going to go anywhere.

Those are just some of the problems that can mitigate one’s success especially my own. At this rate looking at the above I was a failure junkie. It does seem harder to fail than to succeed because doing all the above is a bit more difficult than just solving problems as they arise. So I hope to share with you in the life of this blog, each and every little thing that I have done or not done in the search of success.
