Summary:
Do you dream of a better life, more money, healthy loving relationships, greater freedom, more job satisfaction and reaching all those long cherished goals? Ask yourself why you havenÂ’t achieved them yet. I bet you can come up with a dozen or more excuses. However, if most people are honest with themselves there is only one reason why their life stays the same, year in and year out!

Do you dream of a better life, more money, healthy loving relationships, greater freedom, more job satisfaction and reaching all those long cherished goals? Ask yourself why you havenÂ’t achieved them yet. I bet you can come up with a dozen or more excuses. However, if most people are honest with themselves there is only one reason why their life stays the same, year in and year out!
One of the biggest problems for people is procrastination. A failure to act on your desires is usually the main reason why people fail to increase their lot in life.
The simple truth is everyone procrastinates. However, the difference between really successful people, people who achieve average success and people who stay stuck, is their level of action!
Most people know what needs to be done to get the things, situations and outcomes they desire. However, they fail to even try to get them. This isnÂ’t just a simple case of laziness. Many times there are deep rooted feelings of fear, insecurity and emotional blocks. They make excuses as to why they shouldnÂ’t bother or why they deserve to sit in front of the TV after a hard day at work!
You can study all the personal development and self improvement material in the world. You can buy and listen to the best business seminars, books and DVDs but unless the knowledge is applied it is worse than useless – it just wastes your precious time. There is no substitute for taking action, even incorrect action!
Persistence is one of the key elements of success. Edison failed 9,999 times until on his ten thousandth attempt he created the electric light bulb. When asked about this his reply was simple but profound, “I didn’t fail 9,999 times, I just found 9,999 ways that didn’t work!”
Edison had persistence. He wasnÂ’t afraid to try and fail because he knew there is no such thing as failure if you never give up. When it looks like your approach didnÂ’t work take heart. You have just found another way that doesnÂ’t work and this gets you closer to finding the way that does work.
However, as I have previously said most people already know what they need to do in order to get the outcome they are seeking. We live in the Information Technology Age. Information on every subject is available to us at our fingertips if we just care to look. Perhaps you are putting-off even doing that.
Don’t you think its time to sit down and create a plan, time to get off your butt and do something that will improve your life. From little acorns grow mighty oaks – start small. A few small steps a day turn into many miles over time.
Choose a few small actions that you can take easily and build on them. After a short while you will begin to see the wonderful results you are creating in your life. Make it a personal development quest to improve yourself or your life a little each day. Trust me if you take small steps you will make big leaps in your life. So stop procrastinating now and go do what you know will work or find out what will!

Do you make a list of yearly resolutions or goals but don't follow through? Read on to learn tips and strategies to get going and stay on track!

Are you feeling motivated to set some strong goals for this year? Write down those New YearÂ’s resolutions and get going, right? Most people write down lofty resolutions that they think they should want and rarely stick to them, losing motivation and focus within three weeks of their "good intentions."
This is a brand new year of limitless possibilities. Do you want to:
Increase your income?
Write a book?
Attract a relationship?
Start a new business?
Become a professional speaker?
Have more personal time?
Take a really great vacation?
IÂ’ve got a gut feeling itÂ’s going to be a GREAT year, a BIG SUCCESS year. So, forget writing down resolutions. They donÂ’t work. In fact, the whole idea doesnÂ’t really inspire action. So, letÂ’s change that.
Start thinking about 3-5 things you want, really want for yourself this year. Not what you should want, or what you think would please others. Dream a little. Think big. What are you passionate about? Entertain several ideas that make you smile, excite you, make you giggle, make you feel really good inside, no holds barred. Remove all mental barriers to holding these ideas clearly in your mind.
Now, put your attention fully on one of the things you want for yourself this year. Visualize and see yourself already there, living it! Creative visialization is a powerful tool of attraction.Our minds cannot tell the difference between something real and something intensely imagined. Hold that picture in your mind. (Do this daily!)
Does this picture excite you - make you want to have it?
How would your life change if you got (achieved) this one thing you really want?
What would you have in your life that you donÂ’t have now?
Now, the next step is very important. You must decide to go for it. Choose to have what you really want NOW, not someday or tomorrow. NOW. Say YES to yourself instead of saying no. Making the decision fuels your intent to take action.
3 Tips to Get on Track
1. On paper, clearly describe the 3-5 things you really want. I suggest using statements beginning with the phrase " I intend to" vs. I want, I hope for, I wish to, IÂ’d like, I desire etc. (too wishy-washy). Taking a stand with strong definitive statements reflects your commitment to succeed. (This first step is important in creating your road map to achieving your goals. If you donÂ’t define the results you want, how do you know where youÂ’re going?). Feel like being creative? Make a collage or dream board for a visual aid in keeping your focus.
2. Moving forward, break down your action steps into smaller steps over a shorter time period like 30 days. For example: your goal is to increase your income, your first step may be to explore options to generate more money. Another step may be to look at your skills and talents for further ideas. A third step may be choosing something you have always wanted to do, something that you love that has the potential for additional income. Maybe itÂ’s a total change of career. The first month may be devoted to doing research and personal exploration.
3. Identify potential obstacles and struggles that could prevent you from reaching your goals. Develop strategies to keep yourself motivated and focused such as reading and listening to positive materials, surrounding yourself with encouraging, uplifting people, joining a mastermind group. HIRE A COACH! Note: let go of using the "money excuse" that you canÂ’t afford to get what you want. Invest in your success. It costs money to make money. How much do you think NO is costing you to stay where you are?
5 Tips to Stay on Track
1. Resolve unfinished business. Either clear the past ( make apolgies, speak your mind, forgive someone or yourself) and let it go.
2. Stay strong if youÂ’re feeling FEAR. Bring your attention back to the present. Fear creates uncertainty, worrisome and anxiety producing thoughts. ("What if" thinking, Am I going to be okay?) Fear looks at the future and worse case scenarios. Focus on past successes for confidence.
3. Eliminate negativity. Notice the chatter in your head. How do your emotions speak to you inside? What you think affects how you view a situation. Ever heard the phrase self-fulfilling prophecy? Your viewpoint affects your decisions and actions; therefore your attitude directly affects the outcome. Take a look at the people you associate with. Are they uplifting or do they bring you down? Be selective about who youÂ’re with, being around consistently negative or fearful people is draining and disheartening.
4. Keep up your self-care. Taking good care of yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually is a key factor in staying strong and focused under pressure.
5. Celebrate along the way. Taking the time to recognize measurable successes motivates continual commitment to your goals.
