What's the Biggest Obstacle to Your Success?

"Success is not measured by what you accomplish but by the opposition you have encountered and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds." - Orison Swett Marden Every time I come across this quote, something else comes up for me. Always there are obstacles to what we want to achieve. But what I'm thinking about now is that the biggest obstacle to achieving anything is the thought that it can't be. And that thought will keep showing up like bills in the mailbox if we don't take action to stop it.

The key to success is to concentrate our thoughts and energy on what CAN be done. Make a list of the things you feel would really propel your life or career forward. Put it all down, whatever comes into your mind. Then take a deep breath and ask yourself, "What action on this list would bring me closer to my dream than any other?" Then do it. If it's not something that can be done in a day, break it up into smaller actions, and then take one of those smaller actions each day. Trust yourself. We each hold the answers to everything we need to know inside of us. We know the 'T'ruth.

It takes great bravery to pursue something you want so passionately. If you're dreaming it and pursuing it, you are already successful. Let the feeling of success flow over you. Embrace it and thank yourself. And thank your definition of a Higher Power for guiding you.

Re: On taking Action - [quote="jvprosperity":1hd0zjku]I was surprised to not see the words along the lines of taking deliberate action within the article. Do yo think it's an important part of the 6 points Evan summarized from the article or is it implied?[/quote:1hd0zjku] Hi Andy, I think taking deliberate action is implied in the six points. For instance, I interpret them as follows: 1. Set your sights on where you’re going - Write your goals down on paper. 2. Educate yourself - Read everyday about your field and even take courses on it. 3. Passion pays off - Enjoy what you're doing. 4. Grow your money - Invest your money. 5. No guts, no glory - Go out and sell your product/service/self everyday as if it were last. 6. The Biggest Secret? Stop spending. - Put aside as much money as you can into savings your account/retirement fund.
Product promotion strategy - The effectiveness of our products is 200% Guaranteed. It is according to our feedbacks and the quality, reliability, efficiency and utility scale of the product. The product is not similar to any conventional products in the market at the moment. It could use to clean almost everything (include clothing’s) that do not contain Caustic Soda, Ammonia, Chlorine and Fumes. In short means, safe and do not work like bleach that damage the matter or fabric of the item being washed. Biggest Objection? I'm not quite too sure about what you are trying to ask here. If it for the product, it is fine. The product sell itself and I haven’t heard back from any of the customers yet. 99.9% of our customers came back for more and brought back more customers or buy for their friends n families. There were some customers that complained the products didn’t work. But majority of them didn't follow the instruction, and we convinced them to follow the instruction and they are happy again. If it for the business, I think the major objection or disadvantage for us now is the lack of business system, resources deployment and networking.
