Just a short post today about a success “secret” I heard a few days ago. I was watching an interview of Eben Pagan and right at the end he revealed something very interesting about a common characteristic shared by successful people. He said that successful people try to figure something out and try to work at it until they get the results they want. He also pointed out, that in general, unsuccessful people are those who keep looking for a scheme that will work and land them a big payday.

It is easy to say “find something and stick with it”, both to ourselves and to others, but many of us have a problem doing this. Here are some of the reasons why people may not stick to one thing at a time and not have a success mentality:

Lack of belief or confidence – Either in themselves or the product/system they have just bought.

Lack of interest / does not suit them – Some people choose systems that they have little interest in or do not play to their strengths because they are focused on the potential to make money or because we fear being “left behind“ or overtaken by competitors. For example, in the past I have bought one or two products about SEO and have barely used them, because I bought them for the wrong reasons.

Lack of discipline/motivation – I think this stemming from lack of interest and no clearly defined goal or target. I think we can all have discipline if we “really” want something and can see the goal clearly.

Lack of knowledge – It may just be that it takes a while for us to find our feet if making money online is new to us.

Fear – This could be fear of failure or even fear of success, not wanting to move out of our comfort zone.

Unconscious stuff – This is a big area, but I believe the unconscious plays a huge part in how we live our lives and what we achieve.

In the next post I will look in more detail at some of the above, if you think I have missed out some big ones, feel free to let me know.
