How to Start Achieving Again Even if You Feel Stuck and Discouraged...

Like I said already, there is a reason why you are not always as motivated as you want to be. I had to find out for myself what that reason is because I tend to be a fairly laid back person. I like to take life easy and enjoy the moment. I like to stop and smell the roses. The problem is that I sometimes forget to get moving again, to start achieving again.

And this habit of not doing things now or worse not doing them at all has got me into big trouble in the past. Sometimes the only way I could get anything done was when a deadlines loomed over me. I had to deliver the goods or get fired (I know what that's like too). I used to find this a very tense and hard way to live. Maybe you do too?

Despite the ups and downs of this way of life I continued to live like this until 10 years ago.

What changed?

Well, the gap between my dreams of being rich, happy and the center of a wild social whirl and the reality of living a dull life in a low paid dead end job with virtually no social life started to slowly but surely drive me nuts.

I was well qualified for a better job but I didn't have one. I was friendly enough to have a crazy, action packed social life but I didn't have that either. In fact, as soon as I could drag myself home from work another boring evening in front of the TV was all I had to look forward to.

At the time my friends were moving ahead in respectable professions, making good money and enjoying their free time in lively and entertaining company. I was so envious.

I wasn't just envious. I was fed up with the situation I was stuck in and utterly frustrated with my lack of success and my inability to improve my life. What was I doing wrong? Why is it life seems to be working out so much better for everyone but me?

Well after one more cold and dark winter I had enough. I was desperate for a way out. I started to think that maybe I needed to find out how to become more successful. I had read lots of these kind of books before and most of them did help but only a little.

I obviously needed to find proven hard core strategies that would work for me.

And I did, go here to find out more...
