The x5 Mistakes You Shouldn't Make

The Hierarchy for this List Varies by Individual, so they are not Ranked In-Order but rather Listed by Volume of What We See. All x5 are more Common than We Would Like, but can be Avoided with Planning, Patience and Perspective...

Let's Get Better!

1. Everyone Wants to "Start Big"

   A Huge Plan with Many Moving Parts and Change Everywhere You Look, and it Starts Now!...

   It's not that the Concept is Wrong, but Changing Everything is a Tough Formula to Adjust to & Sustain... Starting Small Never Sounds Exciting Until You Have Moved on to Big Things, but Starting Big and Fast Typically Leads to Starting Over...

   
   

2. "I Don't Need Help."

   Very few People Achieve Great Things Completely on Their Own, without Support or Understanding from Those Around Them...

   "Help" isn't being Soft or Taking a Handout. Help can be Accountability, Flexibility or Simply Listening and Understanding. Don't Worry so much about what People Think. It Only Inhibits What You Can and Will Do!

   
   

3. "I Can Fit It into My Schedule"

   To Add Something In You Have to Take Something Out! We All Want to Add (and Not Subtract) but the General Rule is that we are either Efficient or Erratic. Both can produce Greatness, but Efficiency requires Organization, Awareness and Focused Intent > All Qualities that Support Success, and Consistency!

   "Keep it Simple" is a Phrase that can apply to all of us, in many ways. Keep your Schedule Simple (whenever possible) and Life Gets Better!

   
   

4. "This Worked for Me Way Back When, and it's the Only Thing That Works." Is It?

   That Plan or Structure may have been Effective at that Point in Your Life, but things Have Changed (and so have You!) The Personal Qualities that You Possess potentially can make any Plan Successful, but No Plan Works Forever. Similarly, very few plans are One Size Fits All.

   There is Always more than One Path, unless Your Mind Limits You to the Same One and Fate again and again...

   
   

5. "I Can't Do It."

   Believing in Yourself is the Single Greatest Power You Can Give or Take Away from Your Efforts. The Cliches and Slogans are usually True: If You Don't Believe in You, Why Should Anyone Else?

   Being Wrong has never been so wonderful, when you start slow, take small steps and keep building on success...

   Telling Yourself You Can't Usually Stops You Before You Start, and that Ain't Good! Change Your Mind-Set (How You Think) and You Change Your World!
