Ten Reasons Why People Do "Not" Succeed

in a Home Business

By Rose Kirkland

1. Taking Action Without Planning When it comes to your goals

and future, impulsiveness is the mother of regret. Considerable

thought must be given to the "ends" as well as the "means" of

your strategy. You MUST have a plan. It is very important that

everyone you work with know that you have a strategy for

accomplishing your goals. If you have a constant stream of

family members interrupting your concentration, focus, and your

planned "TAKE ACTION TIME" you need to stop them by

communicating "when" it's okay to interrupt you and "when" it

clearly is not a time to be interrupted. This must be in your

plan when you allot time for your work in order to "create

results".

2. Planning Without Taking Action Endless preparation and poor

planning is worse than taking action without a plan. This causes

ineffectiveness in your work. This is so critical when you want

to accomplish something. Planning in advance provides direction

before proceeding toward a goal. Accept that things will never

be perfect. Questions will forever exist. If you are absolutely

NOT 100% clear about your plan--there is a tendency to

procrastinate by not getting started. Jeffrey Combs, trainer in

the home-business industry, says that "people waste time and

procrastinate by just "GETTING READY to "GET READY". Also,

waiting until the last minute or putting things off tends to

create a crisis or may create other problems and these behaviors

affect other people. In addition, by not doing something you're

procrastinating about, you'll end up wasting your "precious"

time and "TIME" is something that can never be replaced.

3. Unrealistic Timeframes and Expectations Life is a process--not

an event. Nothing great was ever built easily. Exercise wisdom

and learn to be patient. Unfortunately, most things in life take

longer and cost more than the best-laid plans anticipate.

4. Reasons "WHY" Are Not Clear "WHY" you want to achieve a goal

is more important than the goal itself. Before taking action on

anything, it is imperative that you ask yourself this key

question: "WHY do I want to achieve this goal?" You must know

your "WHY"!

5. Denial of Reality It's far easier to deny reality than it is

to accept it. Too many people take the easy way out by being

afraid to look at the facts about "why" their life may not be

working. Success is information dependent. When we deny reality,

for whatever reason, we devalue the integrity of our

information, thus ensuring failure. It takes courage to look at

our life and see what is not working.

 6. Conflicting Values When we have not clarified our reasons

"WHY", or defined what success means to us personally, we

operate on someone else's definition and what they want us to

do. When that occurs your values are sure to be in conflict and

progress is short-circuited. At this time it is important to

value your values and what is important to you. Others will not

respect or value you, your values, nor your time if you don't

send the message that these are important to you. Our 'WHY" and

our values must be very clear to ourselves and to others.

Therefore, watch your actions, behaviors, and commitments----are

they communicating the right message?

7. Diffusion of Energy-- Attempting to do too much is a recipe

for mediocrity Biting off more than you can chew is a prime

example of taking on too much. Not having strong clear

boundaries that you set with others is another example. You do

NOT need to volunteer to be on every project, organization,

committee, or association. It is pertinent you be strong enough

to say, "NO" to those activities that are NOT getting you to

your goal. Rather than doing an excellent job at a few chosen

goals we spread our energies over a vast terrain and diffuse

what matters most; time and energy.

8. Lack of Success Demands FOCUS-- for Success to Happen Focused

action is the hallmark of all truly great people. Your ability

to get and remain focused, or un-focused, perhaps is the

determining factor for your success. Although we all need

relationships in our lives we must balance our lives between the

appropriate time to "work" and the appropriate time to "play".

Focused time will produce the results you want.

9. Trying To Do It All Alone Nobody goes through life alone. We

all need the cooperation and assistance of others. Put your

pride and "EGO" aside and learn to ask for help when you need

it. Learn to leverage and share knowledge for your own well

being as well as for others who are dependent upon your

cooperation. It is also important that you learn to delegate

tasks to others (even if it is not up to your standards).

10. Fear of Failure is The "Grand Daddy" of them all Far too

many dreams have suffocated and died because of "fear". Fear

resides where knowledge does not exist. The more you know about

anything the less intimidated that you feel. Replace your fears

with knowledge and watch your performance soar. Feel the fear

and do it anyway! Thousands of successful people still have

fear; however, they just simply, do NOT allow the fear to stop

them. Say "yes" to a life of SUCCESS!
