Reasons Why People are unsuccessful

Why are some people unsuccessful? You would think that the answer lied in whatever they said stopped them from success, but the answer is really simpler then that: 

They stopped there own success.

There are many reasons that people are not motivated, and once you stop being motivated, you will not try as hard and eventually give up easily. 
Below are all the reasons why people are unmotivated, and therefore unsuccessful:

SOCIAL MEDIA.

Some people are too heavy on social media, although it can be a good thing, it can quickly turn bad. Looking at all the success, all the people faking a good life, it eventually turns into something that brings your self-worth down.

SELF-DOUBT.

Others don’t have any belief in themselves. They never thought they could amount to anything, and therefore feel a reason to not even try. They think they have no real talent, when they have something great to contribute to the world.

TIME WASTER.

Another great factor can be that people are not using their time wisely. If you are not being productive, where is your time going? Again, this world moves fast. If you don’t have your day planned out to a T, it is easy to get distracted and waste days or even weeks without knowing where your time really went.

EXCUSES.

This is a big one, especially in todays world. We are so unwilling to take responsibility for our own life, that we are quick to blame anyone and everyone for things that happen in our own lives. If you have the “blame game syndrome” I suggest you sit back and realize that your life is the way it is, because of what YOU chose to do with it. If you cannot except this, your life will be one big excuse, instead of any achievements.

NEGATIVITY.

There are people in this world who see the good in things, even when their world is falling apart. Others have nothing to complain about, except normal day life problems, and still find a reason to whine every day. Like everything in this world, it is a mental thing your brain does, and it CAN be changed. There are tons of books on thinking positive, but it stems from you starting to retrain your brain to see the GOOD in everything, instead of the BAD in every little thing.

REWARDLESS.

Some people don’t have motivation, simply because they forget where hard work can get them. They forget to see the vision of what they want to accomplish, and suddenly, the work seems pointless.

UNREALISTIC.

Before you become a millionaire, set your goal to be a thousandaire. Nothing is wrong with setting large goals, but you must realize that things take time, and usually will take longer than you planned due to life and its setbacks. If you are being to unrealistic, you will never seem to be getting anywhere and be more prone to giving up.

UNWILLING TO WORK.

These days, everyone wants things RIGHT NOW. In reality, life does not work like that. Just because we have internet and technology does not mean success will just fall in your lap. People forget how much work is required to get where they want to be, and quite often people give up right before they are about to achieve greatness.

MISSED OPPORTUNITIES.

A lot of people can get you down, simply because they complain that they “never catch a break”. In reality, it is that they were not willing to work for it and expected the chances to just fall in their lap. Opportunities are always out there, it is up to you to find them and catch every single one that is thrown your way. You never know when one small door can lead to the bigger door you have been waiting for.

SMALL STEPS.

Some people want the whole pie, without taking a small piece out first. The thing is, before you create a Mona Lisa, you must first make a rough sketch. If you want to quit smoking, start by first cutting back. Everything you want, takes steps. A lot of people want to jump all the way in, but you must make the small steps first.

Don't want to be one of these people? See yourself falling in this path? Take some time to check out the book below, which includes an entire workbook on becoming productive and changing your life.

Creating Change

This world, moves so fast. Between work, school, personal life, and social media, it seems that life really does flash before your eyes. At some point, you may see that you are wasting time. When trying to be productive, it is hard if after so many years you were nothing but lazy. It is hard to change, but it is possible.

A lot of people see there dreams, and never want to give up, but life gets ahold of them and they believe they have to. They think that if they give up the dream will fade, but it simply does not work that way. The main thing that stops people from success is organization. They know what they want, but they don't know how to get there.

To make it worse, people get easily distracted from there goal and give up on a task, not realizing that this task is also them giving up on the goal itself. Staying focused on your goals are hard, but mandatory to keep you focused, especially in rough times when it feels like you won't make it.

In order to create change, you have to take a few steps ahead of that

• Get rid of the negatives
• Have a vision board
• Make a plan

When you do these things, along with a few other steps, you can actually start to create and see a positive change in your world. Success is a lot simpler of a process then people are willing to believe, simply because the amount of work it includes. If your willing to do the work, always keep pushing, and do the steps above, you will see success over time. 

Below is a great book for getting your life organized. It includes all steps on how to clear your mind and get it focused to what you want to achieve. It explains how mental your battle is, and as long as you continue to work and stick to your plan, you will achieve anything you can see.

9 Business Quotes To Change The Way You Think

Everything in this world is mental, as in, you will only go as far as your mind allows you too. It is easy to get distracted, discouraged, and even give up on the life you want. Those are the people who always have a negative view on things, and have an excuse for why things didn't work, instead of a way to make things happen. 

In order to become the select few that do not give up on your quest to money, success, or whatever it is you want out of your business, you have to stay mentally strong. I always say that you have to take care of your body, mind, and soul; but that's for another day. In order to take care of your mind, you have to keep positivity running through it DAILY.

Motivation is like eating for your brain, in order to keep it strong, you must get doses of motivation daily. Always try to learn something new or positive daily, try your hardest at what you are working towards, and your life will always stay changing for the better. 

Below are a few quotes that I love because they are positive, and also they make you think about things a little bit differently...

which you have the power to earn."

-Miguel de Cervantes

"Do not value money
for any more nor any less
than it’s worth;
it is a good servant
but a bad master."

a pretty good dog,
but it won’t buy
the wag of his tail."

-Henry Wheeler Shaw

"Opportunity is missed
by most people
because it is dressed in overalls
and looks like work."

-Thomas Alva Edison

who does not work
for the love of work,

three times
to learn
how to make a living."

not pursued."

Keeping those Resolutions

The New Year is all about starting fresh, but a lot of people start resolution's that they know they will never finish. If you want to change for the new year, nothing is wrong with that, as long as you stick to your change. Here are a few tips to help you stick to your plans.

1. plan out 60 days: When you make a change, it takes a few weeks for your body to get used to your change and make it something that is normal. However, when you plan in advance for enough time for your body to adjust, it makes things go a lot smoother. Always leave most plans in pencil, so they can be adjusted as need be. 

2. stick to your plan: You might fall off of your plan, but always do your best to immediately get back on track. The more you keep doing this, and actually sticking to what you planned, the quicker you will get used to doing this as a daily routine. Look at your planner often, to make sure you are sticking on track (especially if you have trouble focusing, or ADHD like me). 

3. Prep ahead for the entire week: Our weekend is usually about down time, but it is worth it to set ahead a few hours to prep for your week. Get meals ready, clothes ready, or whatever else you feel will get you a jumpstart on the week. That way, things you want to accomplish are already have way in the making, and you are more likely to finish what you already started. 

4. Stay Motivated: Get excited about your goal, have pictures and quotes all around you to stay motivated. Make sure to jam to music while you work out, laugh at some comedy while you prep for the week, and keep things exciting. Nothing should feel like a chore, it should all feel like tiny steps to an amazing change. Remember why you started, and why you want this change. Then get up, and get moving. 

5. Get a community with similar goals: You are your surroundings. It is hard to change when the world around you is stuck in the old. Chances are, if you have been this way for awhile, your entire world and the people around you are similar to you. No, you don't have to ditch all your friends or breakup with a spouse. However, you DO have to find some type of community or group of people that are headed in the same direction as you. This is as simple as joining a Facebook group whos goal is the same as you (business group, workout group, etc.) or finding some people online to follow who have accomplished this goal and help motivate others (famous people in this goal/category). However, as changes happen, you might find new friends with the same interest, and your actual community might naturally change.

6. Have a daily reminder: Have a nice planner or something to remind you daily of what needs to be done, this ensures that you stay on track on what you are trying to do. The reason you plan 60 days ahead, and then prep every week, is so that you have no excuse not to accomplish what you are trying to do. Look at that list, take some time to stretch and get motivated/ focused, and get up. It is easy to procrastinate and make excuses, but you are already half way there. Make sure to use this reminder to get going, and keep going until that list is done. 

7. Remember the end goal: Always have a vision board. I have seen many books, lectures, talks, etc. on how to accomplish a goal, and this is one that people seem to skip most. It is easy to say this is what I wanna do and how, but its hard to remember what you are working for sometimes. At some point, you will want to give up, and this vision board will remind you not to. Most people skip this step because it is silly, but it is key to success. It does not have to be a large poster board (although that is a great idea if you can), it can be as simple as a collage of screenshots you keep on your phone (if goals are more private). But keep something to remind you of what you want. Visualization is everything, once your mind sees this on repeat, your mind will make a way for it to happen.

5 tips for being more productive

When it comes to getting things done, it can sometimes be overwhelming to the point you just want to give up all together. However, life is all about how you perceive things. Starting something new, whether its working out, starting a business, or simply getting your house cleaned; is always difficult. The first steps are always the hardest, because you are doing so much extra work to actually get everything in order. Once things get rolling, and once you get into routine, things get so much easier. It becomes daily habit to do these things, not "something extra you never have time for." 

However, in general, we as people are becoming terribly lazy. Which means, more and more people never have time to do anything productive. So here are a few basic tricks to help you become more productive:

1. NO MORE EXCUSES:

People find so much time for things that are not contributing to their goals, and then say they never have time. Honestly, one thing that got me up and moving was realizing how unproductive my days were. So, for one week I suggest you print out a weekly calendar with time slots. Every day, you start recording exactly what you are doing, even if it is just watching TV. At the end of the week, really look at what you do during the day.

Take a color highlighter and highlight everything you had to do. (work, errands, cooking, etc.) Then take a different color and highlight everything you did that was not contributing to you or your goals (TV, lying around, social media, etc.) You will start to see all these small times you are sitting around will really add up.

No one has excuses. I used to be the girl that slept till the last minute, hopped out of bed to wake up my kids for school, and once they were at school I sat around. Not much else happened other than sulking. I would work when we had gigs (I used to do construction) but even then in my spare time, I simply sat and watched TV or Facebook.

I woke up one day and realized how much my life sucked, and I was the only one to blame. That is when I got prioritized and became productive. Now, I have worked out, posted for my business pages, and dressed before I even tell my kids good morning. Now, we enjoy our weekends because we have extra cash. Now, we play outside because mommy finally has energy because she eats better and workouts. Now, I have a life. All because I decided to become more productive and stay prioritized.

2. GET INSPIRED:

This world is so negative, and there is not many places to turn that are positive. Social media is plastered with negativity and fake lifestyles no one can actually maintain. TV is either drama or news that will depress the hell out of you. So many people even in your own life are negative, and are probably putting you down enough to were you believe you can not do anything.

However, this life is what you make of it. You are not defined by what people say, or what is going on in peoples lives that you don't even know. I am not saying do not care about those around you, but you do not need to bring yourself down if you are trying your best. ( Don't lie to yourself though. If you are not doing what you need to, take the time to realize this so you know what you must change. Lying to oneself is never good for your  physical health or mentality.)

One of the first things I did when I wanted to change was I got inspired. I decided to change everything in my life, from business, to diet and fitness, and even my own personal growth. It took months of game planning and research. Before that, I got inspired. I found facebook and Instagram pages full of quotes and people who had did exactly what I was trying to do. I got rid of all negative people in my life. I found podcasts full of information to teach me and help keep me inspired. I even read audiobooks about how to retrain your brain, so that you think more positive.

It was not an easy step for me, as I do have clinical depression. However, since changing the way I think and my life, I no longer even need my depression medicine.

I failed so many times at first when trying to change. Every time I did, I would get upset and just want to give up all together. Then I would think about how my life would be in 10 years... the exact same. That was depressing, which means I had no choice but to get up and try again. So I did, over and over. Each time, I tried a little differently until I found a balance that worked for me. Things I never thought were possible were now simple daily routines to me.

It was all because I stayed inspired. When I failed, I would make an entire picture collage of quotes and I would make it my phone screen savor. Quotes about failing, not giving up, and success woke me up every morning. Id listen to more podcast than music, so even on the go I was mentally hearing something positive. Over time, it became easier to stay on track. To this day, I still make sure to take time to keep myself inspired. 

3. PLAN AND ORGANIZE:

This one is the hardest step to do before things actually get easier. I got a planner, notebooks, pens, and pencils just to get organized. I took time to plan months and weeks in advance. I learned to plan for things ahead of time, and not last second, so that I could stay ahead of my days and be less stressed. I had daily reminders of what all I needed to do for everything.

I even have folders, just for everything I am working on. One for workouts, with all my routines in them and records to track how I am doing. One for meals, to mealplan for the month so we eat healthy but yummy, and not the same thing everyday (recipes included). One for each one of my businesses, along with all records I need for them.

It seems like a lot, but when starting new routines it is important to stay organized, so that you are not overwhelmed. Again, this takes some time, and a lot of trial and error to see what works best for you. Just because all this works for me, doesn't mean it will work the same for you. Also, depending on what you are trying to do all depends on how you should be organized.

However, in general a planner is the best place to start. I prefer the ones with months and daily schedules on them. Although I do not plan out my day hour by hour, I do like that I can throw important days on my monthly calendar to see how long until events come up. Also, if I like I can go to the week and make a list of everything I need to get done for the day (even new things you want to try to do, but might forget or let slip your mind if you don't write it down). 

4. DAILY REMINDERS:

I am a huge fan of alarms, and yes I meant that "s" because I usually set about 5 or 6 every morning. On top of this, my alarms are set with amazing songs to help me wake up happy and even a picture of a quote that I want to read for that day. It is important that when you are working hard to change and be more productive, that you keep yourself on the right path. Right after i wake up and do my morning wakeup routine, I look at my planner. How come?

No one around you, not even those you love, are going to be there all the time to keep you on track and positive. If you do not remind yourself everyday on what you need to do, and why you are doing it, it becomes more difficult to actually get it done. On top of that, I believe you should always tell yourself positive things because if your spirits are down, you will physically have less energy to do what you must do.

So take some time every morning to remind yourself of some things:

What must be done. Why you  are doing it. Positive words to help you get it done.

5. KEEP GOING:

Even when you fall, because you are going to quite a few times. Do not get upset you failed, you are still learning. Realized why you failed, what you must change, and try again. I will talk about my falls a lot, because I failed for about 6 months before I finally starting seeing some progress.

That is 6 months of a lazy person to keep trying at being productive, when all I wanted to do was give up and continuing being lazy. Now, I look back and all I can say is thank god I know I will never be that person again.

I suggest you find others that will support you, depending on what you are trying to do. There are so many groups and ways to connect with others trying to do the same thing as you, and it is always easier to push forward when you don't feel along in doing it. It is easy to give up, when you are not looking at the big picture. Too often we act on actions that feel good now, but will hurt us down the road. When you stay focused on the future, what will become of your actions now, it is easier to keep going.
