Your personal success and achievement depends on your ability to act upon what you know. Yet this is where most people stumble.

It is easy to find out what to do. Simply ask right people for advice, read best books on subject and attend seminars that will fill in missing details.

It is following through on what you know that makes difference between people who are achieving and everyone else.

Think about something you want to do...

You probably already know enough to get started. You will never have certainty you will succeed but you can have a good sense that with adequate preparation you will do well.

What is stopping you?

Resistance - that feeling of not being able to do what you want to do.

Everyone gets discouraged at times only there are a number of key differences between people who keep on going and those who give up:

1 Focus On Your Goal Not On Your Problems

One of my mentors is a highly successful property developer and he loves solving problems. All day long he can take on one problem after next and just keep going.

How does he do this when most people would feel overwhelmed?

He understands importance of focus. He never loses sight of his goal and his goals so excite him that problems are nothing more than stepping stones to achievement of his outcomes.

If you are feeling discouraged it is very likely because your focus is on what has not worked; your setbacks and your fears.

Discipline your mind to focus on your goals and discouragement will fade into distance.

2 Ask For Help

You do not have to deal with everything alone. Ask for help from someone who is qualified to help you and act on their good advice.

Two minds are better than one especially when your mind is full of discouragement.
