I’m just write here a list of top reasons why I’ve failed on a goal I would like to do.
Just for being used to remind myself not to fail again.
Top reasons made me failed.
- Discipline – I always failed because of my discipline. Hard to resolve! Must commitment with myself seriously.
- Short power of self motivation – I found when I have a strong motivation power, I can work good, produced a great result, good emotion, attitude and very quickly! However, I just can’t maintain my motivation power, when I lose it, I probably 90% failed on the goal. To resolve this, I’m trying to split big goal into a few numbers of smaller goals with its own motivation point. I’ll share if I can success with this or not.
I don’t think there are any other reasons to make me fail, the root cause should come from these two reasons only and I’m getting hard to resolve it quickly.
What I think is that many people also failed with the same reasons of mine.
Actually, here is the level of entrepreneurs I believe it consists of…
- Low level entrepreneurship : The main problem of this level are… they feel safety when get paid monthly, don’t want to responsible for their own life. The main problem actually is their mindset.
- Medium level entrepreneurship : Gambler, this type of people want to take care their life with themselves, but they have a problem same as me. Discipline and motivation, also, they usually lack of business strategy to grow their own business.
- High level entrepreneurship : Success peoples are this, they always have a strong discipline, more strictly discipline they followed, they feel more motivated! I’ll try myself to be this in one day.
Yup, getting back to resolve my discipline and motivation problem first! 
Will share with the resolution I can win over these two reasons when I’ve a winning rate 80/20.
Cheers,
By now, just about everyone has seen the video “The Secret” or read the book by the same title or maybe they have done both.
Millions watched the Oprah Winfrey show about “The Secret” and listened to the principals talk about it and the Law of Attraction.
Many have visited the plethora of websites devoted to “The Secret” and the Law of Attraction. It has almost become a worldwide obsession.
I am sure that millions of people have tried to follow the instructions and get the Law of Attraction to fulfill their desires and dreams. And, I am also sure that the vast majority failed to see any difference in their life or current circumstances.
It is not because the Law of Attraction does not work. It does, very well in fact. It has to because it is a Universal Law. Just like the Law of Gravity, the Law of Matter and the Law of Energy, the Law of Attraction is governed by physics. You know, that science class we took but did not understand all that well, the one where we dropped weights down the stairwell and slid blocks of wood across the desk. It was the one where we got an idea about gravity, friction, motion and energy. Do you remember it now? Well, that was physics. It is the science that governs and explains action and reaction, repulsion and attraction.
The Law of Attraction is governed by that science and as one of the Universal Laws, it will work anywhere on earth if the proper actions, beliefs, powers and vibrations are utilized.
So, if that is the case, then why have most people failed when they tried it? It is simple really. “The Secret” or the Law of Attraction, has a secret of its own that even the promoters did not know about.
If you take a look at most of the people involved in “The Secret” you will discover that they are people like Oprah Winfrey, Dr. Dennis Waitley, Bob Proctor, Dr. Joe Vitale, Jack Canfield and other similar types. You will notice that they are all people with very strong personalities and passionate drive. To consider them as “ordinary” people is like considering a hurricane as just another gentle breeze.
That having been pointed out, do not despair. It does not mean that “The Secret” or the Law of Attraction will not work for ordinary people. It will. It will work for everyone, even the ones who have tried over and over and have not had it work for them yet.
All of the above-named people did not need to know the secret behind “The Secret” because of the kind of people they are, strong willed, passionate and filled with self confidence and drive.
The average person may wish for a million dollars, but subconsciously they know that they will never have it. As a result, their subconscious mind will not send out the proper vibrations to attract that million dollars to them. Wanting or wishing for something and believing in your whole being that you will get it are two different things.
So, for the average person, the secret behind “The Secret” is that you have to take baby steps. In other words, you have to start out small. Your subconscious mind will never believe that you will get a million dollars if you ask for it, so do not even try. Instead try asking for something simple, say a seat in a crowded subway car or on a crowded bus. Or how about asking to find a parking space on a crowded street or near the doors of a busy mall?
When you buy a lottery ticket, do not ask to win the top prize, ask for ten dollars or 20 dollars or even 50 dollars. Since these amounts are possible and believable, you can convince yourself and your subconscious mind that you deserve it and that it is yours. Give thanks for winning it as if it were already yours. Be passionate and convinced that it is and constantly give thanks for it.
When you see these simple results of the Law of Attraction start working for you, then you can try working on slightly bigger things. Do not go too fast and do not become discouraged. If you check the histories of the aforementioned people, you will find that they did not succeed the first time that they tried. Just think back on everything that you have accomplished in life, such as learning to walk, learning to talk, learning to dress yourself, to ride a bicycle, to read and to write. They all took time, practice, determination and a belief that you could do it before it actually happened. Getting the Law of Attraction to work for you is just the same.
In conclusion, you can get the Law of Attraction to work for you no matter what your current life is like as long as you start small, convince yourself that you already have it and constantly give thanks for having it. When you continue passionately working on it one small step at a time and constantly expressing gratitude for having it, then you will eventually see that the Law of Attraction works for you too.
How many times have you sat back and thought how wonderful it would be if you could just wish things true?
Humans have always been attracted to this kind of fantasy, embodied in the fairy tale of Aladdin and the Magic Lamp. This desire, this need to have what seems unattainable is evident in the popularity of gambling and the state lotteries. People will spend their last dollars for the chance to change their entire lives in the course of fiver minutes. But the irony is vast. Without knowing it, humans have had the power to obtain their dreams within them all along. So have you. It’s called the Law of Attraction. It has been around since the universe began, and it is working in your life right now.
The simplest way of defining the Law of Attraction is this:
You get what you think about, your thoughts determine your destiny. Thoughts have an energy all their own, and they attract things which have a common energy. It is one of the Laws of the Divine Universe and it applies to everyone. It is as unbreakable as any law of science or mathematics. It does not even require your belief to work. Only to control it, to seize your destiny, must you believe in the Law’s power.
So the question is: how can you use the Law of Attraction to get what you desire? There are some guidelines to help you get started on the right path. Firstly, you must decide what it is that you desire. This is called developing clarity. If you find it difficult to determine what it is that you want, try thinking of it in the contrast. When you find what it is in life that you don’t want, it will be much easier to pinpoint what it is that you do want.
Your second step on this path is to use a technique called vibrational matching. This is nothing more or less than using quiet meditation to determine your feelings on your perceived desire. Use feeling and meditation to determine if your thoughts are predominately positive about this desire.
Finally, you must allow your desire to come to you. Your would be surprised at how often we prevent ourselves from getting what we want by focusing on the negative. Begin allowing things to come to you, and stop waging wars against the things you do not want. If you’re fighting something, that means you’re thinking about it. Therefore, without even realizing it, you could be attracting the very things you’re fighting against.
Before jumping headfirst into applying the Law in your life, make sure you read and research a little beyond this basic introduction. Studying others’ experiences can help you to avoid some of the common pitfalls newcomers are susceptible to. Beyond all, good luck, and remember: The Law is working in all places at all times. It’s up to your to use it for yourself, rather than allow it to use you.
Many people suffer from some sort of shyness. They may fear that their actions will be scrutinized by others, and as a result, they have difficulty facing certain people or specific situations.
However, shyness is a condition that can fairly easily be overcome. In this article, we will look at a few techniques that can help you get rid of your shyness:
1. Try self-affirmation. Every day, as soon as you get out of bed, stand in front of a mirror and say, “I feel great! I feel fantastic!” This technique may seem a little silly at first, but it really helps: after a while, your mind starts to believe what it has repeatedly heard.
2. Make sure that you always look your best. There are no fancy tricks involved here, you just have to follow a few common-sense principles. For example, regularly take a shower, get a haircut, and put on a nice, high-quality suit. Also, make sure that your shoes are always polished! Knowing that you look good will help you build your self-esteem.
3. Acknowledge your shyness. There is nothing wrong with telling other people that you are a little shy –in fact, this can be a wonderful way to break the ice! If people know that you are shy, they will take that fact into account when they interact with you. They will appreciate your honesty, and when they are talking to you, they will understand that you’re not impolite or uninterested when, in fact, you’re only being shy…
4. Constantly try to improve yourself. Take up a new hobby and acquire new skills, and you may discover that your “worth” has increased –both in your own eyes and in the eyes of others. For example, you could learn a new language to improve your mind, or you could start working out to improve your body. Whatever initiative you take, people will admire you, not only for the results you will achieve, but also for the simple fact that you had the courage to set a step in the right direction!
5. Learn how to deal with rejection. No matter how hard you try, there will always be a few people that won’t like or accept you. As the song says, “You can’t please everyone, so you’ve got to please yourself.” Once you have accepted this fact, you will discover that it does not have to be the end of the world if a person doesn’t like you.
To a very large extent, shyness is “all in the mind” –once you start to behave with confidence, you are, in effect, no longer shy!
Do you have any dream killers in your life? Dream killers are those people who discourage you when you are trying to change your life. It’s amazing how many people tell their friends and family that they cannot succeed. This is especially true when you are trying to do something “outside of the box” like making money online or starting your own business.
The main argument these dream killers have is that your goals are unrealistic. They will advise you to be more “practical”, and pretend they are offering you sound advice.
Many of them believe they are doing a favor by discouraging you. They think they are helping you live a life in “your best interest”. But really, they are encouraging you to a live a life without vision.
If you are really motivated toward success, doing anything less than your ambitious goals will be unfulfilling for you. You end up wondering what could have been. You continue to live your life for other people, instead of yourself.
Your friends and family who discourage you from trying something new are only giving you insight into what they would do in your position. They do not have the vision and the drive that you do. They are only reacting out of their own fear.
Other people take the path of least resistance, but that does not mean that you have to. Your goals are important to you for a reason. You will only be happy when you achieve them. Giving up on your goals because other people think they are unrealistic is no way to live your life.
How to you overcome the dream killers in your life?
You may want to start with choosing who you spend your time with. If you want to be self-motivated, you’ve got to spend time with other people who are self-motivated. The same goes for the other aspects of success.
If the dream killers in your life are close relatives, and long time friends, try keeping your business goals to yourself for a while until you get going. By the time you’ve had a little success, they will probably be a lot more supportive.
Finally, the best way to overcome the dream killers in your life is to be confident in yourself and your goals. If you are truly confident in yourself and your ideas, then no one can stop you.
Keep your goals and dreams in front of you all the time. They will be your motivation, when some of your “well-meaning friend” try to discourage you.
Don’t let anyone steal YOUR DREAM!
Success in any entrepreneurial endeavor is contingent on a simple truth: Learning does not always require thinking.
Actually, thinking often hinders learning. Hinders learning? That flies in the face of most of what we know, doesn’t it? As children we were often reproached when we made mistakes: “You just weren’t thinking! Don’t you ever think about what you’re doing?”
Then there’s the most successful personal development book of all time telling us to do what? …That’s right, “Think and Grow Rich”. True it is a fantastic book and a must read for success minded people. But many of us get so tangled in thoughts that we can’t get out of our “heads” and take the action required for success.
Socrates, one of the greatest “thinkers” of all time, said, “Action equals knowledge.” Action, not thinking, is how we achieve results. Take playing the piano for instance. We could think about playing the piano but we will never become better until we start pecking away at the keys. If you were to ask an accomplished pianist to think about what they are playing in the middle of a rapturous concert, the music would probably fall apart into a series of painfully disconnected notes.
Same is true with typing. Ask a person who flawlessly types over 70 words a minute to think about the key strokes, and you could probably watch the mistakes pile up. Thinking hinders execution. Thinking can hinder success. The fact of the matter is we can intellectualize all we want, but until we take action we will never accomplish anything.
There is a mantra in the martial arts that says “Ready, Fire, Aim”. Simply put, this means take action and correct that action as you go. It is quite probable that many businesses never get out of the starting gate because of over-thinking and over analyzing. Most people want all their ducks to be lined up in a row before they begin. This will never happen. The time will never be perfect. The key is to get started and then “keep on keeping on.”
In the martial arts, students practice moves over and over and over again. They train their bodies to transcend thought and take action in the moment. Imagine a trained martial artist getting attacked on the street thinking, “Hmm, okay I’m being attacked. Should I turn my body this way or should it be the other way? Okay, now I have to trap the assailments arms, tighten my fists, pull back, and strike.”
Of course this is not what happens in the martial arts. The key teaching in the martial arts is to ACT. NOW! …In spite of the mind’s tenancy to analyze the situation.
The worst kind of thinking is fear of failure. The “What if” disease. “What if I fail? What if people laugh at me? What if I lose all my money? What if, what if, what if?
Fear is paralyzing. It stops the movement necessary for success. Fear weakens our resolve, cripples our creativity, and ultimately stagnates our successes. Conversely, movement overcomes fear. When struck by fear, move. Do something!
So, don’t wait to explore your entrepreneurial spirit; take action now. When those pesky thoughts creep up, and they will, scare them away with the mantra, “Don’t think, don’t think, don’t think, don’t think…” and watch your dreams and goals cascade toward you.
What is the bottom line? “Don’t think and grow rich.”
The biggest frustration amongst people seems to be not having what they want in life.
Yet they have exactly what they wished for.
Your mind is like a powerful computer. Much more powerful than anything man made that exists today. The purpose of your mind is to provide the outcome that is programmed into it, by you. It will always give you the programmed result, which is a law of nature.
And this is where the trouble starts.
Most of us have no idea how to effectively program this computer, and those that do, program it with ineffective programs more often than not.
Do you realize that the only difference between your success and that of say a Donald Trump or a Bill Gates is the way that they think?
Whether they did it consciously or not, their thought patterns follow a set of guidelines that led them to the success that they enjoy. These patterns are burnt into their minds, and they will not alter them for anything. It is who they are. Like them or not, they are effective in their chosen fields.
So what does this have to do with you, and more importantly, can you use this knowledge for your own good.
Well, the short answer is “yes”.
You can use this knowledge, and are actually doing so every single day.
Your life is exactly as your mind thinks and reacts to circumstances on a continuous basis right now. So the good news is that you are already doing it, you cannot help yourself, it is human nature.
The bad news is that the thought patterns you have running in your mind, are not giving you the results you consciously want. They are giving you the results that you have programmed into your mind, mostly subconsciously.
This is why goal setting can be so important. With a clear goal in mind, your thought processes will at least be aligned in some direction most of the time. This can and does make a huge difference to your results.
Lets use the computer program analogy once more.
A computer will process information based on a specific set of rules and criteria. That is basically what a computer software program does. If you have a program that says if A happens, always do B, you get a predetermined predictable result. You know that a certain input will give you a specific output.
With our minds, not having a goal is like saying, if A happens, do B, or C or D or whatever strikes your fancy. The result is confusion and wasted energy. Spinning around without going anywhere.
Now life presents us with A today, B tomorrow, and C, D, A the next day. If, however, you have a set of actions ready for whenever A happens (by having a set goal) you automatically move toward your desired outcome every time A occurs. You might not have moved far, but you did move a small amount toward your goal, every time A happens.
At least you are moving in a certain direction, that you have predetermined, by simply deciding what you actually want, and then setting a goal to get there.
Goal setting is a huge topic, and not quite as simple as described. It is however very worthwhile, and just may make the difference between contentment and a life of frustration.
So find out what you want, then work towards that goal.
Speaking to others is a natural, human experience. When we speak to one another, or one person speaks to a group, what we are doing is really communicating. Communicating involves getting the point of the spoken idea across to your listeners so they understand your topic or subject matter. In the basic sense, communication is essential for survival, since we have to communicate properly to get the things we want and need in life. Therefore, good communication skills are necessary.
Today, there are many people that work in a public setting that involves communication among peers. Many employers like banks, schools, sales and marketing companies and the like may have certain requirements for you to be considered for employment. In an office setting that you may find at employers like these is an environment where humans are supposed to interact, relate and communicate with one another to complete a task or to convey an idea or a series of ideas.
This is where public speaking comes into play. Although you can take a speaking course in high school and college, public speaking skills are best developed by speaking to others at an office meeting or presentation where you, as the speaker, communicate your ideas to the extent your listeners understand them. More often than not however, is that most people feel uncomfortable speaking in front of 20 or so people. Some end up speaking with a lack of self-confidence, thus hindering the communication effectiveness and also how you are perceived professionally in the workplace environment.
So, how do you develop the skills required to speak publicly and to speak with confidence? It is a very important skill to have after all, since a good speech with effective communication delivered with confidence can carry the day. What follows are some tactics and techniques that you can employ to help optimize your public speaking and to hone your skills.
If you work at an employer or in an environment where you may have to give a speech or speak publicly, you should thoroughly research what you are going to be discussing. The research should be done at such a level, that when you have completed it, you know the subject matter backwards and forwards, inside and out. This will give you confidence when your speech is delivered. Writing your speech out on paper is good a good idea too as this helps you learn and memorize specific things you may want to point out when you deliver your speech.
It is also a good idea to do a dry run of your speech to family members or friends so that they can give you some constructive criticism for improvement. When they give you suggestions for improvement, implement them in your speech material if you think they are sound and will actually improve your speech. Ask your dry run listeners to ask questions about the subject you are presenting so you can get feedback on the level of confidence you have in your answers and explanations. Also, remember to present your dry run speech using the tools and resources you will have available when you deliver your actual speech.
If you are speaking to children make sure to work on the tone of your voice. Children are more likely to pay attention to your speech if you sound enthused and knowledgeable. Try to involve your young listeners in your speech by asking their opinions of things you are discussing with them. When speaking to children or teens, make sure you dress casually and make your eye contact to show your interest in how they think and feel about your subject. It is also a good idea to make small jokes to fill a pause or to break your speech up a little. This also shows them that you are relaxed and comfortable speaking to them.
Public speaking is a very important skill you must have to achieve your goals, especially in a working environment that caters to well developed communication skills. It is necessary for survival in obtaining employment, encouraging others and social interaction and development. Public speaking is best perfected with practice and as you get better, your peers will motivate you to even higher levels of achievement.
Hi my friends,
If you need more success on your life, don’t skip this post!
The Power of Action is undoubtedly an extremely important part of realizing and utilizing the unlimited potential that has been made available to you. In the center of every being, whatever its form, the power of action is present. Joy is an emotion by which the body’s power of action is increased or assisted. Make joy an integral part of your everyday life. Take a few minutes each day to do something that you enjoy doing. See the tremendous difference it makes to your ability to take action on the things you must do.
The vision of a “golden life” varies with each person. How essentially simple life is, and how we complicate it. Have you ever wondered how to make major changes in your life? Action assumes importance as you contemplate making changes. Most of what you have encountered in your life, so far, is the result of your beliefs. There are two great blessings in man’s life, thoughts and action. To change your life you must start by changing your habits of thought. “Impossible” and “can’t” must be removed from your thought processes. Science has proven that when you think you can do something that your mind will find a way to do it. Once the mind has found a way to accomplish what you desire, then action is required. Where there is action, there is life and creation. One of the turning points in your life will be when you discover the power of action, your power of action. Life has an amazing way of working out when you choose not to give up, but to harness your power of action.
Do you want to have a wildly successful business? For maximum effectiveness in life, love or business, it helps to have the right habits. Wisdom with the power of action is the true secret to wealth in life as an entrepreneur.
One of the laws of success is that the universe rewards those who take action. Action is the foundation of success. You are programming yourself for greatness and success when you take action on your goals and ideas. Acting on your goals will bring success into YOUR life. There can be no success without it.
Awaken your potential knowing that the power of action is within you. The power of action is just like dropping a stone into a pond. The ripples continue outward affecting everything around you. Education is great. Knowledge is great. Experience is great. Planning is great. Ideas are great. But the power of action is gigantic. Without it the rest is useless. You must take action to get what you want.
To your success!
Hi friends,
After I’ve read the book “Long-tail marketing” by Chris Anderson.
I found it’s very interesting and have a potential to generate an online profit from it.
So, I’ll share with you in this topic about long-tail marketing.
What’s long-tail marketing?
Recently there is a huge stir around the phrase “long tail marketing.”
It primarily deals with retailing online and makes some real interesting points you should consider.
The concept is by Chris Anderson and you can get his book at Amazon.
But what does it all mean?
It means get busy with keywords and content to get all the searches possible to your site.
People do search differently so you must consider all keywords that relate to you.
An example is a hobby site.
Imagine the “length of the tail” in how many keywords that could be.
Everything from backyards to zebras.
It’s the length of the tail when all of those keywords are connected that can bring you more business.
Think about a big tail on a huge animal, it covers a lot of ground and gets your attention when connected to an alligator!
So to coin a phrase, “get your tail moving” and leave no rocks unturned.
Some search for refrigerators and for some it is an ice box or the fridge.
Think about what people name things in other parts of the world that are the same thing in your world.
In keyword research it is easy to spot and grow niches.
Low search counts at the top 3 search engines can mean business for you when there is no competition.
Use Wordtracker to find out what these less used search engine searches can do for you.
So what if there are only 6 searches a month for an item?
if you happen to sell that item and no one else does, you want that business.
The long tail of search phrases will build traffic.
You can not count on 80% of your traffic coming from 20% of your top used keywords based on readings at Google.
Because competition for highly used words is so big, long tail marketing makes perfect sense.
If you are an Adsense publisher, imagine how many more relative ads you could display on all of those new low competition keyword pages.
It is the total searches from all of those less used words that make using them worthwhile.
Create your content with a broader base of keywords to see the effect.
Watch your site stats and be amazed at all of the new search terms you’ll be found with.
Many will tell you more content or more products would be easy to market.
With search engines today it is all about content and keywords, and Google flat out says so in their webmaster guidelines.
Long tail marketing is real easy with search engines.
All you have to do is know the words people use.
Did you better understanding about long-tail marketing Now?
I hope you are so.
