1.You Don't Have Any Goals
Too many people are afraid to"set"their goals.Afraid of failing.Afraid of disappointment.Well,you definitely won't complete them if you don't try.Make a choice and set your goals.Otherwise you will end up wherever life takes you.
2.You Don't Start
OK,so you have a goal.What have you done about it?Have you started it yet?What are you waiting for?Procrastination is responsible for the failure of many goals.
3.You Aren't Willing to"Buy"Your Goals

4.Your Goals Are Unrealistic.
Make sure that your goals are possible and that you set an adequate time frame for success.
5.You Won't Stick With It
Over half of goals will be given up within 30days.You set your goals.You started them.And then…you gave up.Are you using life's daily happenings as excuses?Goals are not reached through one effort.Rather,they are made in small steps over time.
6.You Will Fail…And You Won't Get Back Up!
No one succeeds immediately.Those who appear to have effortlessly succeeded have usually put in years of preparation and practice.You have to fall down many times before you will succeed.Skill is learned by doing.
