I want you to be completely honest with yourself for a moment and answer this question: Have you achieved the level of wealth you expected to achieve?
While everyone has an ambitious financial goal at one time or another, 99% never even get close to it, and overwhelmingly for the same reason.
And I’d be willing to bet that it’s the same roadblock keeping you from the wealth that you deserve. That’s why right now I’m going to give you the secret to bursting through that roadblock…
The best way to explain the roadblock I’m talking about is to tell you about my experience with it. That’s right – before achieving any success, I had to face this same obstacle.
Here’s the situation:
- I was drowning in debt (mostly from student loans)…
- I couldn’t find a job…
- My once-ambitious dreams for making 6 figures had now retreated to the point where I’d be happy to be able to keep affording for a tiny apartment…
So what happened? Why was I in the position with nowhere to go? How did my financial goals vanish so fast?
It was a mixture of two things – excuses and accepting mediocrity.
Here are the excuse I was telling myself:
“I probably would be successful but…
…the economy is so bad that I can’t find a job.”
…the major I chose in college just isn’t going to let me achieve my goals.”
…the people my age who are finding success must have had the right connections. It’s just who you know, and I was never lucky enough to know the right people…”
I was allowing myself to pass blame on to anything but myself! And in the process, I was gradually accepting mediocrity…
I began allowing myself to lower my goals and expectations. I was OK with changing my life plan to shoot much lower. I was satisfied with mediocrity.
Thankfully I was saved from continuing that life forever when I met a man, Jim Samson, who taught me that the only thing keeping me from achieving the wealth I had once strived for was my own excuses.
I can honestly tell you that he was right.
After making that realization, I suddenly stopped making excuses and started pursuing my goals with newfound direction, motivation, and purpose.
I’m now the Chief Editor of a success advisory with tens of thousands of members, I’m an internationally quoted expert in publications like the International Business Times, and I’ve hit multiple financial goals – I’ve actually had to keep raising those goals along the way!
I’m not telling you this to show off, but rather to show you that I’ve achived the success I craved because I realized I was making excuses for myself.
When you recognize the same thing, you’ll immediately break through the biggest roadblock on your own path the real wealth, and it’s never too late to do so.
I’m going to leave you with the most common excuses that could be keeping YOU from your financial goals. Never allow yourself to make them again…
“I’m doing my best…” (when you know deep down that you aren’t.)
“My friends don’t think I can, and they’re probably right…”
“I’m just not good/smart/experienced/etc. enough to do this…”
“I don’t have enough time…”
“I don’t have the fancy education as other guys…”
“I didn’t start with tons of money like other guys…”
Rid yourself of those excuses and starting chasing down your financial goals!
