Why most of our self-improvement programs fail.

1. We Fear Change

Face this fact; no matter what type of self-improvement strategy you are using, at some point you are going to have to make a CHANGE.

It could be a small change, or a big change, but you are going to have to get out of your “comfort zone”.

Our subconscious “conditioned mind” does not like change. In fact, it is designed to resist change and to keep us where we are. The reason for this is the subconscious is primarily a survival mechanism. Its primary function is survival. It perceives any type of change as a threat to our survival. Unless we can bypass our survival mechanism, all our self-improvement attempts will fail.

2. We Seek Instant Results

Today people are conditioned by media advertising to expect “instant results.” Hence they want it NOW and expect to see results immediately in one session, one day, one week, one chapter, etc. They give most self-improvement techniques and practices one shot, and if they do not get immediate results, they get discouraged and give up.

Immediate results are always possible, but sometimes we need time to align our energy with our desires. If we do not align our energy properly, we will not reach our goal.

The need for instant results or instant gratification often keeps people from taking the time to align their energy, so it actually takes them LONGER to reach their goals.

3. We Give Up Too Soon.

Most people give up too soon. Part of this is due to the need for instant results and instant gratification. However, one of the reasons we give up too soon is we see temporary setbacks as proof we cannot reach our goal or desire. When this happens we blame ourselves and/or the self-improvement program, book, audio, seminar, etc. and give up too soon.

In order for any self-improvement program to work, you must not give up, even when it “looks” like it is not working.

4. We are “TRYING” instead of “DOING”

Most people “try” to get what they want. The problem is every time you try, you are setting yourself up for failure. In reality you can't try to do anything. You either DO it or your DON'T. The whole world is trying and most are failing. You cannot succeed if you "try". Once you stop "trying" and start "doing" you can begin to expect results.

When people “try” self-improvement programs, they immediately set themselves up for failure. In my work with people, I have discovered that they achieve a 99% success rate when they follow through. But getting people to follow through is almost impossible in so many cases

My point here is that the success or failure with any personal improvement strategy is based on DOING, not TRYING to do!  Those who “try” are guaranteed to fail. Those that DO (follow through until they get the result they desire) are the people who achieve their great dreams and desires.
