Reasons Why You Don’t Have Your Desired Results

Because I care about YOU much more then you may think…your hopes, your dreams, your desires and your results…I am going to shine some light on the TRUTH that you may have been avoiding. Please be prepared…this is NOT for the light hearted! I only share this with you because I care about the amazing kindred spirit that you actually are. I truly care about that person you’ve always felt you were meant to be, that person who lies underneath that mask toughened by the pain that life brings.
This is exactly why I’ll share with you the cold hard truth. There are 5 reasons why you don’t have your desired results in your life whether it be a healthy and fit body, a deeply passionate and loving relationship, a better family life, owning a business, financial freedom, living your ultimate life, etc.

Reason 1: Not angry enough

You haven’t gotten frustrated, angry or pissed off ENOUGH to change your situation. This means that you haven’t hit your threshold of what you are willing or unwilling to take in your life and therefore you do not have enough leverage on yourself to change. Change is a matter of leverage, not a matter of willpower. When you have leverage on yourself, you easily move towards what you desire.

Reason 2: Staying in your story

We all have stories that we tell ourselves of why we fall short from our goals, why we don’t truly go after our dreams and why we don’t achieve what we want. Your stories are literally killing any potential progress towards your desired results. We become addicted to our stories in order to remain comfortable in what we have become accustomed to. Achievement always lays outside of your comfort zone.

Reason 3: Not truly understanding the problem

I know…I know…You might think you know what the problem is but in all reality, if you knew what the problem was, you would more than likely be able to solve it. As Einstein said, “A problem well stated, is a problem half solved”…so even if YOU THINK you know what your problem is, you’re probably wrong if you haven’t solved it. Often, we need outside perspective to fully understand the problem.

Reason 4: No strategy

Without strategy, you can’t have a winning/successful path. Your results will be inconsistent. When you finally get angry enough to start taking action towards what you want, you will likely end up back sliding or sabotaging your own results. Without a successful strategy to follow, there will be inconsistent action which will lead to inconsistent results. Because there is little or no progress made, you’ll probably end up falling off the wagon. Strategy is key to achieving goals.

Reason 5: No mentor/coach

This is probably the most important reason of all to obtaining your desired results in life. Why? Because a good mentor can help you with all the other 4 reasons. After giving you leverage, removing your stories and offering you perspective, a good coach can help you map out a strategy and hold you accountable. The distinguishing difference between the results of the Tiger Woods of the world and the average Joe is the presence of a good mentor.

Successful people are no better than anybody else. They just do different things which leads them to different results. More importantly, they have the right psychology. In fact, the SECRET to ACHIEVING ANYTHING is 80% psychology. Only 20% is the mechanics on how to achieve it.  Having the right psychology is often the missing link that prevents people from achieving their goals. This is why even though there are gyms in practically every city around the world and whole foods available in every grocery store, a lot of people still struggle with their goal of being slim and fit. The “how” (20% mechanics) is available but the right psychology is not.
A good coach provides you with the right psychology, the very thing that will shift your results in any area of your life.
