Do you consistently reach your goals? If you do, no need to read any further – unless you set your goals so small they don’t challenge you. Then, keep on reading.

If you don’t consistently reach the goals you set for yourself, do you ever wonder why some people are super successful in their business even though you don’t think they are that special?

Yet, you work really hard and you’re not getting those same juicy results. Have you ever wondered what their secret is?

From working with hundreds of business owners, I’ve compiled a list of what I think is the top 5 list of why people are consistently not making their financial goals and what they can do instead.

I encourage you to go through the list and see if you are falling short on some of them.

1)      Commitment and accountability: You are not committed to your goals and you don’t hold yourself accountable. You say you are committed, but your actions show otherwise. On a deep level, you are not willing to do what it really takes to get what you want.

You may not want to invest the time and money required to get what you want, or you may not be unwilling to give up other activities to spend time on your business. Getting results takes commitment. How committed are you?

 2)      Responsibility: You are not taking 100% responsibility for your results. You explain your lack of results on outside circumstances and your favorite thing to say may be that “the economy is bad” or that “people don’t have enough money to pay for my services”.

Realize that your life is a reflection of your thoughts and you have full responsibility for what your business looks like. You are in control and you create your own reality. If you are not reaching your goals, you created this.

What do you need to change and where are you not taking 100% responsibility for your results?

  3)      Comfort: You are comfortable where you are and you are not willing to get out of your comfort zone. You are playing it safe. Maybe you don’t want “it” bad enough or you let fear stop you from taking the action you need to take.

You would rather feel comfortable and playing small than doing what it takes to get what you want. There is a possibility that you don’t have a lot of urgency to change your situation and you’re quite happy where you are. What’s going to happen if you don’t reach your goals? What are the consequences?

In order to take a leap in your business, it is necessary to be willing to step out of your comfort zone. What do you need to do in your business that you are avoiding so you can stay “comfortable”?

 4)      Mindset: A huge deterrent to success is not having faith that things are going to work out. With the wrong mindset you tend to sabotage your own success. You could be doing everything else right in your business, but if you have the wrong mindset, you will not get the results you want.

Are you suffering from fear, doubt, or other negative thinking? Getting out of worry and fear is a huge key to reaching your goals. You create what you think about and if you keep obsessing about what you don’t want, you will most likely get exactly that, because you get what you focus on. If you find yourself in a fearful state of mind, do whatever you can to get out of it.

  5)      Planning and action: You don’t have a clear plan for how to reach your financial goals and you are flying by the seat of your pants “hoping” that things will work out. If you don’t have a plan, putting one in place now will help you get back on track so you know what actions to take, step by step to reach your goals.
