Just how many of us Dream to become Successful?

Many of us dream to be successful, and we are striving continuously for it. But very less of us will actually become one as because very few of us has what it takes to become one.

But today let me Disclose some real facts that actually hinder us from getting Successful. And If You overcome these Setbacks I am Sure You will Definitely become Successful and who knows a Millionaire Too.

But Why most of the people will not become Successful?
It’s a Sad reality but true.

So Just Check for these Setbacks in your life and Fix them before its too late.

1. Lack of Higher Purpose

We just feel so intimidated by looking at the fancy cars, Million Dollar Houses they own and many more.

But believe me, when they started out their goal wasn’t those fancy cars or big houses they own. They just are the byproduct of the higher goals that they have set when they started out.

The most important question is not how to become a millionaire but actually Why to become a millionaire?

Most of the millionaires didn’t start off to thinking how to become one and enjoy their wealth on expensive cars and other luxuries. But they had one thing in common, and that is how to uplift their lives and later put an impact upon the masses.

Just Look upto any Millionaire, their system are somehow directly or indirectly affecting the common people’s lives.

2. Lack of Desires & Ambition

Look upto to any successful people doesnt matter be a millionaire or a billionaire, they possess immense Desire and Ambition.

And believe me desires and Ambitions are fuel that drives Purpose. Since majority of the masses lack this specific trait they can’t grow properly from inside as well as outside.

Or even if one possess any, due to the negetive talks of the the negetive people around, these Desires and Ambitions get buried deep inside the person and remain dormant for the rest of person’s lives.

3. Lack of Discipline

The world is actually filled with full of failures who actually lacks discipline and proper planning. Lack of Discipline is perhaps one of the greatest obstacle towards financial success.

There is no such thing as accident or luck, everything comes with shear disciple and perseverance to do the work consistently without slacking. Sometimes it feels like giving up at moments, but in these harsh, torturous moments your discipline will help you keep going.

Opportunities and chances come to everyone, although they don’t come at the same time but they really do, and when they come, lack of vision, financial discipline and the courage to take calculated risks greatly undermines financial success.

4. Lack of Patience

One the most important trait to have to become a millionaire. Yet the most common trait one lacks. In this era of instant gratification, nobody have will to wait even the que for ATM machines, let alone becoming Millionaires.

Let’s suppose you an apple seed at your backyard today. It won’t grow overnight and become an apple tree the very next day.

To enjoy the apples, you need to first sow it in the ground, give water to it and take care of it until it germinates and becomes a small plant first.

Then you take care of it, watering it everyday, checking away the weeds that may grow every often and protect it from insect attacks. All these things needs time, but once the small seed have grown into a full grown Apple tree, it can take care of itself and give u it’s delicious apples year after year.

This is where patience comes into play and becoming a Millionaire My Dear friend, it takes a similiar mindset but an effort of much greater magnitude.

5. Procrastination

Procrastination is like the Weeds that grows between the grasses and if not taken care of, spreads very rapidly destroys the whole plantation.

Most of the people just spent there whole life by just day dreaming and drooling and keep the task in hand to the next day. And Once You start keeping things for the next day, believe me the next day never comes.

Procrastination will not only prevent you from becoming a Millionaire but it also poses a Major threat to every kind of Success a human can achive in their lives irrespective of their career choices.

6. Lack of Focus

If you can focus just sunlight into paper it have the power to burn it to ashes. The frequency of your thoughts are so much powerful that even the lasers would seem like candles, so great are it’s intensity.

So just imagine if you can focus your thoughts and attention into one thing, there are literally nothing and nothing in the world that can stop you from achieving it. Just imagine what you can achive, your inaugurating is the only limitations you will have.

Perhaps the greatest setback one can have to financial success then it’s the lack of Focus.

7. Working hard V/S Working Smart

Most of the people will not become Millionaires as because they don’t know how to work smart. Almost all the Millionaires understand how important and powerful it is to take advantage of leverage.

They emphasis a lot on learning how to take leverage of other people’s time,money and skills and always keep things in automation. Now that is called working smart to achieve goals rather than just working hard. And believe me results come much faster this way.

8. Lack of Consistency

One more important aspect of becoming a millionaire is consistency. And most of the people will not become millionaires because they lack Consistency.

The common trait of a millionaire or a billionaire is that they are consistent with their Ideas, Products or Services. They may update or develop but the cure concepts remains same.

And being consistent is one of the hardest skill that one can ever have. It takes a lot of dedication, discipline and effort to be consistent which most of the people will fail to have. Becoming a millionaire becomes more difficult for them.

9. Not Having a Learning Attitude

Well, for most of the people learning stops as soon as one graduate from college or university. Then he gets into the rat race and gets involved into with so much that the forget realize importance of keep learning.

As we all know learning is never finished, always learn something new everyday even if you are at an age of 65. And the millionaires understand this fact very well so that keeps on the habit learning life long on a daily basis so that they never go outdated.

10. Fear of Failures

Fear of failures is one of the most toughest roadblock forever to do anything in life that involves risk. Our brain is programmed to keep ourselves in our comfort zone, but when we try to build and accumulate wealth it includes getting out of our comfort zone and getting into the red zone.

Since we were habituated in our own bubble and never imagine ourselves getting out of that bubble as soon as you try to do new things fear of failures kicks in.

At that point of time one can either accept the fear but gather some courage, calculate the risks involved go ahead embracing failure or can just sit in his/her comfort zone and be happy with that.

Most of the people are the latter one and never able to accumulate enough wealth for themselves. But the one who defeats the fear of failure and achieve success in spite of many failures and become millionaires.

11. Time Management Issues

Almost every single person in this world complain about time management. But believe me guys, the people who learns how to manage their time effectively and productively are sure shot becoming a millionaire one day.

But the sad reality is that most of the people don’t know how to manage their time. You have only 24 hours in a day in which 8 hours you need to sleep and 8 hours you need to work or go to school and college.

16 hours already gone and you had only 8 hours now left within your hand. Now you can spend these 8 hours by watching television on Netflix or beer party at your local pub.

And people still complain they don’t have time in their hand. You just need to set your priorities properly and you will see that you have plenty of time to use efficiently to become a millionaire.

The basic difference between a rich and a poor person mainly depends on this very factor.

Now how you will use these 8 hours of your day is totally upto you. You can ascend towards succes & wealth or descend towards failure and poverty. The choice is yours.

12. Choosing bad financial Models.

Since most of the people just neglect financial education they will never learn how to select the most beneficial financial vehicles.

As a result of which they consult to financial advisors, unaware of the fact that these very financial advisors also need advices from the experts.

As a result of which these people hardly get hold of a proper financial vehicle. And thus these kind of people never even come close to becoming a millionaire. Now if you want to become a millionaire too then now you know what not to do.

The Major difference between the rich and the poor people is not the education, skill, talent, or even luck.

Its the Difference in their Mindset.

Give a poor mindset person $100,000 and he will spend it all in the next 1 to 2 years.

But give the same $100,000 to a rich mindset person, he would have come up with a system that would make him $100,000 every year and eventually scale it up to Millions annually someday.

Frankly speaking, most of the people don’t have the mindset of a millionaire. That’s Why most of the people just after graduating from colleges or universities still seek for jobs instead of chasing the entrepreneural dream which may be laden with risks, but gives you the greatest opportunity to become millionaires.
