Success Leaves Clues

One of the great things about living in today's world of abundance and opportunity is the almost everything you want to do has already done by someone else. It doesn't matter whether it's a losing weight, running a marathon, starting a business, becoming financially independent, triumphing over breast cancer, or hosting the perfect dinner party - someone has already done it and left clues in the form of books, manuals, audio and video programs, university classes , online courses, seminars and workshops.

Why People Don't Seek Out Clues

The painful truth is most of us don't take advantage of all the resources available to us.
There are several reasons why we don't :

* It never occurs to us. We don't see others using these resources, so we don't do it either.
Our parents didn't do it. Our friends aren't doing it. Nobody where we work is doing it.

* It's inconvenient. We'd have to go to the bookstore, library, or a local college, We'd have to drive across town to a meeting. We'd have to take time away from television, family, or friends.

*Asking others for advice or information puts us up against our fear of rejection. We are afraid to take the risk.

* Connecting the dots in a new way would mean change, and change - even when it is in our best interest - is uncomfortable. Who wants to be uncomfortable?

* Connecting the dots means hard work, and frankly, most people don't want to work that hard.

Here are ways you can begin to seek out clues:

1. Seek out a teacher, coach, mentor ; a manual, book or audio program ; or an Internet resources to help you achieve one of your major goals.

2. Seek out someone who has already done what you want to do, and ask the person of you can interview him or her for a half hour on how you should best proceed.
