To this point, there are three basic or key components for�success� (how ever you define success.) They are:A strategyTacticsMind-set The strategy is the �big picture� of what you�d like toaccomplish.  The tactics are the �how�you are going to get there.  The mind-setis the catalyst for implementing the tactics. There are hundreds of books, CD�s etc. that talk about thestrategy, the tactics as well as the mind-set. What I�ve found is that the majorities of people focus on points 1 &2 and give little attention to point 3�the mind-set.So what is mind-set in relation to success?Again, I like simple. Here are the four characteristics of a strong mind-set:Knowing what you wantCommitting yourself to your goalTaking courageous actionDetermination to finish what you start That�s it!Simple?  Absolutely!Easy?  Not so much.Let�s take a closer look at these.Knowing What You Want:Many people can�t get pass this one. They THINK they know what they want, but as soon as they hit a littleresistance...BAMB!  They�re blown out ofthe water.   Seth Godin in his book �TheDip� goes over the phenomenon in detail. Basically the book talks about that sooner or latter we will all comeinto a dip.  Things just aren�t going togo as planed. It�s at this time that the most people bail.  Seth discusses the importance of evaluatingthe worthiness of your goal.  I won�t gointo the details here�pick up the book if you want to find out more.Committing Yourselfto Your Goal: This point of failure is tied directly to �knowing what youwant.�  The reason most people won�tcommit to their goal is they really don�t know if it�s what they want.  Let�s face it, if you approach a goal withthe attitude �it would be nice to achieve this� are you really committed?  If not, why waist your time going after it!? Taking CourageousAction:  Notice I didn�t say timidaction�I said courageous action.  Thismeans being bold, taking risk, putting yourself out there for the entire worldto see.  Sure ANY action is better thenno action. But if you�ve got points 1 and 2 secure, you may want to take acloser look at this one.  Nothing happenswithout action...period!  Oh sure, I canhear the followers of �The Law of Attraction� pooh-poohing this one.  Believe me, I�m a big believer of the LOA whenit is used in conjunction with action. There are way too many couch creators taking about the LOA, but refuseto look at their results.  Results aredirectly proportional to a persons vibration AND their action�.no action, noresults.  Timid action = timidresults.  Courageous action = spectacularresults!  Determination toFinish What You Start:  This by faris probably the toughest to work through. With the emphasis today on multi-tasking and the �next best thing� rightaround the corner many become distracted. If they don�t become distracted, as soon as they hit a wall or a dipthey�ll look for an easier way.  Thispoint is also closely tied to point #1 � �knowing what you want.�  If you truly, deeply know exactly what youwant you will find the determination to finish what you start.  Here is where FOCUS comes in.  You know�F = FollowO = OneC = CourseU = UntilS = SuccessfulWhen you FOCUS, finishing what you start will take care ofitself. So, how does all this fit into my statement about �TheNumber One Reason Why People Fail?�After all I�ve given the three key components for successand talked about the four characteristics of a strong mind-set.  I�ve haven�t given a single solitary pointthat absolutely points to the reason why people fail�or have I?If you�ve been paying attention you�ll see that there is acommon thread through ALL 7 points in this article.  Want to know what it is?YOU!Yup�you�re the main reason for your lack of success.  I know this can sound pretty harsh.  After all, the economy is bad, prices aregoing up, and I�m out of a job.  You know what? There are many people out there in the same or worsecondition then you and they�re making their dreams and goals happen. �What one can do, anyone can do.�OK�so I might have been too tough.  It�s not YOU as the person; it�s YOU as thethinker.  This is why mental strengthcoaching and training is so critical�especially in these days! Mental strength coaching and training will help you developthe four characteristics of a strong mind-set. And presuming you have your strategy and tactics in place, with thedevelopment of the mind-set you WILL be able to accomplish your desiredgoals.
