WHY DO A FEW "LUCKY" PEOPLE SEEM TO GET EVERYTHING THEY WANT IN
LIFE, WHILE MOST STRUGGLE TO GET BY YEAR AFTER YEAR?

SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE MAKE, AND THE ALTERNATIVE THAT HOLDS MOST PEOPLE

Have you ever asked: _what's the difference between people who
achieve great things in their lives, and those that achieve little?_

Is it...
* ...Luck?
* ...Inheritance?
* ...Great intelligence?
But actually looking at people that achieve above-average things,
and comparing them to people around you, you'll notice something quite
remarkable. Those same reasons that are listed above ARE MORE LIKELY
TO CAUSE FAILURE in life...
* If you rely on luck, you'll also encounter just as much _bad_
luck. People that succeed again, and again, must be doing something
right
* Few, if any, of the people that achieve great wealth inherited
their fortune. In most cases, never needing to work for a living
_removes their drive_ to succeed. Many wealthy people are now refusing
to pass their fortunes on to their children when they die - fearing
the money will corrupt them. And, if inheriting great genes were they
key, we would simply select our Olympic Athletes from the children of
previous winners.
* Outside the field of science, super-intelligent people are often
found in dead-end jobs, and rarely get to the top of their fields
So, if it is not luck, intelligence or inheritance that is the
primary reason people succeed, what is it?
The answer is very simple...
THE PEOPLE THAT ACHIEVE THINGS IN LIFE HAVE A CLEAR VISION OF WHAT
THEY WANT, A CLEAR PLAN OF HOW THEY ARE GOING TO GET THERE, AND THE
ABILITY TO FOLLOW THIS THROUGH TO COMPLETION.
Sounds simple enough, right?
* You can't hit a target you're not aiming for.
* You can't reach a destination if you don't have a map to get you
there.
* You can't climb a mountain without taking every step.
In theory, this isn't hard to grasp - and most people know this.
This view of the world revolves around GOALS. Successful people plan
their days, weeks and months in line with their goals. Whatever they
do, it is taking them closer to the realization of their goals and
ambitions in life.
This GOAL-CENTERED LIFESTYLE contrasts sharply with those that have
a LUCK-CENTERED LIFESTYLE. They sit around, waiting for things to
happen and "hoping" that events will work out in their favor.
They spend their evenings channel surfing, looking for a quick-fix
to their problems, rather than grasping the route cause of the things
they are not happy with. Invariably, these wasted days turn into
weeks, the weeks turn into months, and the months turn into years.
Before long, their time runs out.
People spend more time planning a single vacation that they ever do
planning out what they want from life.
But it needn't be like this. Everyone can live the lives of their
dreams, if they just make relatively subtle changes in the way they
think about things and approach life. It is not difficult - yet the
rewards are huge.
WHY AREN'T MORE PEOPLE LIVING THE LIFE OF THEIR DREAMS? WHY DOESN'T
EVERYONE HAVE THE PERFECT CAREER, HOME, BODY AND RELATIONSHIP?
The reason is that there is more to goal achievement than just
wishful thinking. You can't just sit down for two minutes, pluck
something that you want out of the air, then it will arrive in a
parcel the next day. Achieving your goals may not be complicated, but
it is not _that_ simple.
There is a process that you need to go through, A SHORT SERIES OF
STEPS, that takes you from where you are to where you want to be.
Providing you go through that process, in the right order, there is
little that you cannot achieve.
And that's the great thing about the process of goal achievement -
it works on both the tiny and huge scale. The same process that helps
you learn to play an instrument can be used to build a multi-million
dollar company.
Sure, some people do _accidentally_ land their dream job. But the
majority of people that do work in their dream job didn't get their
accidentally. They set it as a goal, planned out what they would need
to do to get there, then got to work. And "work" doesn't seem like
work when you are heading where you want to go.
"PEOPLE WITH CLEAR, WRITTEN GOALS, ACCOMPLISH FAR MORE IN A SHORTER
PERIOD OF TIME THAN PEOPLE WITHOUT THEM COULD EVER IMAGINE."
Brian Tracy, Self-Help Guru
When you are on YOUR OWN PATH, you'll find renewed energy and
enthusiasm for life. You'll be happier and more contented. You'll feel
better about other people, and you'll lose any thoughts of jealousy or
envy - because YOU ARE LIVING YOUR LIFE EXACTLY THE WAY YOU WANT TO
LIVE IT. People will respect you, and offer to help you in whatever
you are trying to do. Suddenly, members of the opposite sex that used
to ignore you are now finding "convenient excuses" to be near you.
Beautiful paintings don't happen by accident or luck. Buildings
aren't built by accident or luck. So, what makes you think great lives
are made by accident?
However, the predominant view of the World is that success is all
down to LUCK. This is the fundamental division that separates the few
that do, from the many that wish and resent life's achievers.
PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE IN _LUCK_ WAIT FOR THE WORLD TO CHANGE FOR THEM.
PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE IN _GOALS_ CHANGE TO WORLD TO SUIT THEMSELVES.
This idea may not be new to you. You may have heard about, and tried
"goal setting" in the past. There is a good chance that, if you didn't
succeed, you would have presumed that this process of goals didn't
work.
However, since it's obvious that people are using goals to achieve
great things, have you consider that it was the way the goals process
was taught to you that caused you to fail?
WHY DO MOST GOAL SYSTEMS NOT WORK?
Conventional goal systems suffer several problems.
Firstly, they FOCUS ON "GOAL SETTING." That's the easy part. Anyone
can write down what they want. But making it happen is entirely
different. You need to look at the whole process of _Goal
Achievement_. This includes selecting the right goals in the first
place, and staying motivated to get them completed.
Secondly, they are usually either TOO SIMPLE to be of any use, or
TOO COMPLICATED to remember how to use.
When they are too simple, they don't give you enough information to
use them properly. For example, most goal systems encourage you to
"visualize" without explaining how to do this properly. Get it wrong,
and it is only 1/5 as effective as it could be.
When they are too complicated, you give up because it takes you an
hour to _choose_ a single goal - even if it would have just taken five
minutes to actually _do_ it. You get frustrated at pointless theory,
that has little to do with what you want to achieve.
You need a course that gives you the right amount of theory, and the
right amount of tools to get on with it. You need to avoid falling
into the trap of knowing why, but not knowing how - or knowing how,
but not why.
Thirdly, they don't help you to MAKE GOAL ACHIEVEMENT A WAY OF LIFE.
While you _ can_ start benefiting from goal setting almost immediately
after learning the process, you need to make it a way of life in order
to improve your life long term.
You need to take the long view, and understand how you can easily
set things up so you can ALMOST EFFORTLESSLY ACHIEVE LONG-TERM GOALS
that require continuous actions (such as losing weight, or getting out
of debt).
A NEW APPROACH
_The Simple Guide to Goals_ should help change things for you -

The course goes further than just goal-setting, and into ADOPTING A
GOAL-CENTERED LIFESTYLE.
