Why Is It Taking You So Long To Succeed?

Most likely because you are avoiding the few things that actually matter.

There are only a few tasks that truly make a difference, but most of us do not do those tasks because they are uncomfortable, unnerving and scary.

Theses tasks take a lot out of us, put us in great amounts of pressure and usually are the tasks everyone else avoids effectively.

Let’s say you’re trying to get fit.

You read up on workout routines, look at what diet would be best and even talk to a couple of coaches to help you get into shape.

But you only go to the gym once a Month.

Would you really get fit?

On the other hand, let’s say you do not look up any workout routines, do not follow a set diet and do not talk to any coaches.

But you go to the gym for two hours every day.

Would you get fit?

There are only ever a few tasks that really count, with the rest of the things supporting that core set of tasks.

Of course the diet helps, of course the routine is good and of course a coach can elevate your training, but unless you actually train it won’t really matter.
