13 Reasons you are not as successful as you should be

1 – Laziness: I don’t think there is any easy way to put this. I have to assume that you are lazy. Every single successful person works hard to get where they are. It is ok to be lazy, just admit it. But don’t whine about not being rich and successful, ok?
2 – Entitlement: only a few people in the world are part of the lucky sperm club. You and me we got to work to get what we want. Quit thinking you are owed something. You are not. Get to work.
3 – Fear: you are afraid, plain and simple. Afraid of the looking silly. Afraid of what your friends and family will say. Afraid of anything and everything. Look, you are either going to stop being afraid or you are not. Nobody can convince you to stop. Imaging though what awaits you when you stop with the fear excuses?
4 – Negativity: you may not realize it, but the people you associate with might be negative (orifices). They could be soul-sucking beings who want to anyone to be successful. Get rid of them, now! Surround yourself with successful people. People you want to be like.
5 – Stop thinking: how much do you want to bet you have paralysis by analysis? You think too much about what you could or should do. Doers get what they want, and everyone else gets what they get. Stop analyzing and start doing.
6 – No goal: you plan nothing. You believe that someway, somehow, everything you always wanted will just magically happen. So you “play it by ear” and wait. You need goals to shoot for. Otherwise, you are just treading water.
7 – They: there is no “They”. There is no secret group of people that controls your success or failure. You have made that up to make you feel better about yourself. The truth is you and you alone, control your success in life / business / everything. It is easy to blame “them” though, isn’t it? Weak.
8 – No “X” Factor: you can’t do it because you are not pretty enough. Or don’t have the strong personality? You don’t have the “X” factor?  Wow, what an unbelievable excuse. The truth is even jerks, idiots and boring people can be just as any successful as anyone else. Your problem is you don’t believe it yet.
9 – Waste time: you are a classic time-waster. You spend hours and hours every day on not-working. You do thing that are not productive. How are you ever going to get anything done, or reach any goal if you keep wasting time? You are not. So you might as well give up now if you are not going to keep this path.
10 – Social B.S.: you spend way too much time in social media land. You waste probably about 50% of you productive hours of the day doing this, the sad part is, you know it, but you cannot stop, so you cannot get anything done that matters.
11 – You think way too small. You are constantly looking only a day or a week ahead instead of years ahead, because of this, you never get anywhere, and you never lead but always follow.
12 – Do not want it: you really want to be successful. Sure, you like to dream about it like everyone else. But in your heart you are afraid of what might happen if you really get it. That’s B.S. fear your brain is feeding you. Success is change, and it feels really, really good. Tell your brain to shut the (foolishness) up.
13 – Do not believe: yup never believed that it is possible. Society taught you that only a few “exceptional;” people get what they want. Everyone else should just settle. If you really want to believe that, go ahead. The rest of us will be at the front of the line because we believe.
