Reason People Fail

I have a friend I sponsored into my business. He’s a guy who has struggled financially his whole life. But he insists he is committed to getting wealthy, so he joined the biz.

We had a weekly business briefing in town every Wednesday. The first week, he had to work late, so he missed it. The second week his boss was riding with him so he couldn’t get there in time. The next week a shelf fell over and he cut his hand and needed stitches. You get the picture.

It has now been about ten weeks, and he’s never made one. I don’t even ask him for the excuses anymore. But I guarantee you he has one for every week. But what’s the real reason he doesn’t show up?

Because he doesn’t want to let go of victim-hood and become rich. But don’t expect him to believe that. He believes in the symptoms, instead of looking at the disease.

So what about you? What have you been having a hard time doing lately? And what’s the real reason?
