Why do a few "lucky" people seem to get everything they want in life, while most struggle to get by year after year?

Read on to learn the fundamentally different choice of living that successful people make, and the alternative that holds most people back

Have you ever asked: what's the difference between people who achieve great things in their lives, and those that achieve little?

Is it...

  • ...Luck?
  • ...Inheritance?
  • ...Great intelligence?

But actually looking at people that achieve above-average things, and comparing them to people around you, you'll notice something quite remarkable. Those same reasons that are listed above are more likely to cause failure in life...

  • If you rely on luck, you'll also encounter just as much bad luck. People that succeed again, and again, must be doing something right
  • Few, if any, of the people that achieve great wealth inherited their fortune. In most cases, never needing to work for a living removes their drive to succeed. Many wealthy people are now refusing to pass their fortunes on to their children when they die - fearing the money will corrupt them. And, if inheriting great genes were they key, we would simply select our Olympic Athletes from the children of previous winners.
  • Outside the field of science, super-intelligent people are often found in dead-end jobs, and rarely get to the top of their fields

So, if it is not luck, intelligence or inheritance that is the primary reason people succeed, what is it?

The answer is very simple...

The people that achieve things in life have a clear vision of what they want, a clear plan of how they are going to get there, and the ability to follow this through to completion.

Sounds simple enough, right?

  • You can't hit a target you're not aiming for.
  • You can't reach a destination if you don't have a map to get you there.
  • You can't climb a mountain without taking every step.

In theory, this isn't hard to grasp - and most people know this.

This view of the world revolves around goals. Successful people plan their days, weeks and months in line with their goals. Whatever they do, it is taking them closer to the realization of their goals and ambitions in life.

This goal-centered lifestyle contrasts sharply with those that have a luck-centered lifestyle. They sit around, waiting for things to happen and "hoping" that events will work out in their favor.

They spend their evenings channel surfing, looking for a quick-fix to their problems, rather than grasping the route cause of the things they are not happy with. Invariably, these wasted days turn into weeks, the weeks turn into months, and the months turn into years. Before long, their time runs out.

People spend more time planning a single vacation that they ever do planning out what they want from life.

But it needn't be like this. Everyone can live the lives of their dreams, if they just make relatively subtle changes in the way they think about things and approach life. It is not difficult - yet the rewards are huge.

Why aren't more people living the life of their dreams? Why doesn't everyone have the perfect career, home, body and relationship?

The reason is that there is more to goal achievement than just wishful thinking. You can't just sit down for two minutes, pluck something that you want out of the air, then it will arrive in a parcel the next day. Achieving your goals may not be complicated, but it is not that simple.

There is a process that you need to go through, a short series of steps, that takes you from where you are to where you want to be. Providing you go through that process, in the right order, there is little that you cannot achieve.

And that's the great thing about the process of goal achievement - it works on both the tiny and huge scale. The same process that helps you learn to play an instrument can be used to build a multi-million dollar company.

 

Sure, some people do accidentally land their dream job. But the majority of people that do work in their dream job didn't get their accidentally. They set it as a goal, planned out what they would need to do to get there, then got to work. And "work" doesn't seem like work when you are heading where you want to go.

"People with clear, written goals, accomplish far more in a shorter period of time than people without them could ever imagine."
Brian Tracy

When you are on your own path, you'll find renewed energy and enthusiasm for life. You'll be happier and more contented. You'll feel better about other people, and you'll lose any thoughts of jealousy or envy - because you are living your life exactly the way you want to live it. People will respect you, and offer to help you in whatever you are trying to do. Suddenly, members of the opposite sex that used to ignore you are now finding "convenient excuses" to be near you.

 

Beautiful paintings don't happen by accident or luck. Buildings aren't built by accident or luck. So, what makes you think great lives are made by accident?

 

However, the predominant view of the World is that success is all down to luck. This is the fundamental division that separates the few that do, from the many that wish and resent life's achievers.

People that believe in luck wait for the World to change for them. People that believe in goals change to World to suit themselves.

This idea may not be new to you. You may have heard about, and tried "goal setting" in the past. There is a good chance that, if you didn't succeed, you would have presumed that this process of goals didn't work.

However, since it's obvious that people are using goals to achieve great things, have you consider that it was the way the goals process was taught to you that caused you to fail?

 

Why do most goal systems not work?

Conventional goal systems suffer several problems.

Firstly, they focus on "Goal Setting." That's the easy part. Anyone can write down what they want. But making it happen is entirely different. You need to look at the whole process of Goal Achievement. This includes selecting the right goals in the first place, and staying motivated to get them completed.

Secondly, they are usually either too simple to be of any use, or too complicated to remember how to use.

When they are too simple, they don't give you enough information to use them properly. For example, most goal systems encourage you to "visualize" without explaining how to do this properly. Get it wrong, and it is only 1/5 as effective as it could be.

When they are too complicated, you give up because it takes you an hour to choose a single goal - even if it would have just taken five minutes to actually do it. You get frustrated at pointless theory, that has little to do with what you want to achieve.

You need a course that gives you the right amount of theory, and the right amount of tools to get on with it. You need to avoid falling into the trap of knowing why, but not knowing how - or knowing how, but not why.

Thirdly, they don't help you to make goal achievement a way of life. While you can start benefiting from goal setting almost immediately after learning the process, you need to make it a way of life in order to improve your life long term.

You need to take the long view, and understand how you can easily set things up so you can almost effortlessly achieve long-term goals that require continuous actions (such as losing weight, or getting out of debt).

Did you know that, if you don't set your own goals in life, you unconsciously start copying those around you? That's why the vast majority of people have similar incomes to their friends and family. We just look at them when growing up and think "this is normal" and so do what they do. That includes making all the same mistakes they do, and settling for a lower quality life than you could have.

If you want to escape this trap, you have to design your life the way you want it. That's what The Simple Guide to Goals helps you to do.
