20 Reasons Why Smart People Fail…

From OnePowerfulWord.com

1 Lack of motivation. A talent is irrelevant if a person is not motivated to use it. Motivation may be external (for example, social approval) or internal (satisfaction from a job well-done, for instance). External sources tend to be transient, while internal sources tend to produce more consistent performance.

2 Lack of impulse control. Habitual impulsiveness gets in the way of optimal performance. Some people do not bring their full intellectual resources to bear on a problem but go with the first solution that pops into their heads.

3 Lack of perseverance and perservation. Some people give up too easily, while others are unable to stop even when the quest will clearly be fruitless.

4 Using the wrong abilities. People may not be using the right abilities for the tasks in which they are engaged.

5 Inability to translate thought into action. Some people seem buried in thought. They have good ideas but rarely seem able to do anything about them.

6 Lack of product orientation. Some people seem more concerned about the process than the result of activity.

7 Inability to complete tasks. For some people nothing ever draws to a close. Perhaps it’s fear of what they would do next or fear of becoming hopelessly enmeshed in detail.

8 Failure to initiate. Still others are unwilling or unable to initiate a project. It may be indecision or fear of commitment.

9 Fear of failure. People may not reach peak performance because they avoid the really important challenges in life.

10 Procrastination. Some people are unable to act without pressure. They may also look for little things to do in order to put off the big ones.

11 Mis-attribution of blame. Some people always blame themselves for even the slightest mishap. Some always blame others.

12 Excessive self-pity. Some people spend more time feeling sorry for themselves than expending the effort necessary to overcome the problem.

13 Excessive dependency. Some people expect others to do for them what they ought to be doing themselves.

14 Wallowing in personal difficulties. Some people let their personal difficulties interfere grossly with their work. During the course of life, one can expect some real joys and some real sorrows. Maintaining a proper perspective is often difficult.

15 Distractions and lack of concentration. Even some very intelligent people have very short attention spans.

16 Spreading oneself too think or too thick. Undertaking too many activities may result in none being completed on time. Undertaking too few can also result in missed opportunities and reduced levels of accomplishment.

17 Inability to delay gratification. Some people reward themselves and are rewarded by others for finishing small tasks, while avoiding bigger tasks that would earn them larger rewards.

18 Inability to see the forest for the trees. Some people become obsessed with details and are either unwilling or unable to see or deal with the larger picture in the projects they undertake.

19 Lack of balance between critical, analytical thinking and creative, synthetic thinking. It is important for people to learn what kind of thinking is expected of them in each situation.

20 Too little or too much self-confidence. Lack of self-confidence can gnaw away at a person’s ability to get things done and become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Conversely, individuals with too much self-confidence may not know when to admit they are wrong or in need of self-improvement.

Dear readers,

What magazines do you read?

Did you know that reading magazines can jumpstart your MLM business?

Let’s start with business oriented magazines and self empowering magazines. There are magazines like Success Magazine or even the Network Marketing Magazine…

I don’t mean the MLM junk magazines or MLM ad magazines that are full of ads. Certainly those don’t have any real content to them.

But let’s go a step further.

What is your dream?

Is your dream to be a pilot someday and own your own plane? Then why aren’t you reading magazines like Flying Magazine or Plane & Pilot. Those will inspire you. You’ll learn more about your goals of becoming a pilot and you’ll learn all about the different types of small aircraft. It will be FUN to dream.  Your dream becomes more of a REALITY.

What about cars? Do you like classic cars? There’s a bunch of magazines out there for you. I know I just ordered some myself.  Or maybe you like modern day sports cars… Again there are a bunch of magazines out there for you.

Travel? Yep, there are travel magazines full of amazing destinations, photos, reviews, stories, vacation ideas, etc.  Try getting some of these magazines and cutting out photos to go on your dream board.  Or just take some photos from these amazing tavel destinations to go on your desktop or computer wallpaper.

Home? Maybe you just want to build a nice home.  Maybe you want to install a home theater…. There are magazines dedicated to all of these things.  When I was first getting into home theater and HDTV was just coming out I bought magazines like Sound & Vision and Home Theater magazine.  They were full of cool products and technical toys for your home theater plus amazing photos of beautiful homes and condos.

Think about the magazines you read now…

Do you read the gossip magazines? or perhaps you read music magazines? some of you may even read porn magazines…

Are those empowering?  Are those helping you make your dreams a reality?  Do they encourage you to work your business harder or do they fill your mind with junk?

And don’t get me started on the newspaper.  What a load of crap the newspaper is.  JUNK JUNK JUNK.  What a great way to fill your brain with stories of violence, crime, and poverty.  You really don’t even need the financial times or wall street journal any more as you can find that type of research online.

Next time you’re at the store think about the kind of magazine’s your buying.

I even heard that the really rich have weird exclusive magazines.  Not just the Neiman Marcus catalog but we’re talking about magazines on “ranches” and “estates” and things like that.

What you dream about and think about is what you focus on.  Are you dreaming about and focusing on the right things?

What are some of the magazines you’re reading?  Do you have any good suggestions for the list? Do you agree that magazines can help jumpstart your MLM business and motivate you?

How is your MLM enterprise like a fly?

Have you ever seen a dead fly at the bottom of a window sill?

It flew and flew and flew. It kept trying to get through the window.  It was persistent and never gave up, even to the point of death.  The fly doesn’t try and go around the window.  It flies to the light.

Jordan Adler shared this example with me.  He says if you have 18 flies and let them loose they will all try and fly through the glass of the window.  All they see is the light on the otherside and they want to reach it.  Meanwhile just a few feet away is freedom.  A few feet away is an open door.  All they have to do is go around the window but they refuse to.

What if one fly decides to go around?  The other 17 flies keep going. They keep trying to break through the glass and they never do.  That’s why we find so many dead flies on the window sill.

In your network marketing business many of you are like the fly. You keep bashing your head on the window of success.  Meanwhile just a few feet away is an open door.  All we have to do is fly around the window and go to the open door.  If we just take a second to think differently than the rest success is easy. We can fly at that window for hours or days.  The glass keeps us away from our goal.  Yet if we just think differently.  If we decide there is a better way and go off to the side we can find the open door way to success.  It is easily within our reach!

Does that make sense?

If not I will share another example with you which might make a little more sense… So come back and check Home Business blogs tomorrow
