At one stage I presented a 30 day Success program to people, free of charge, in which I reveal success principles that really work.

I ask you to focus carefully right now, in other words; please catch this!!!

Only 5 percent of people that I offer this program to accepted the offer.

In other words 1 out of 20 people accept a “FREE” course that will potentially grow and develop a success mind-set.

Now you, I am sure, would not be one of the 19 who do nothing, you after all are reading this article, so well done, but do not be deceived.

Allow me to reveal an even more staggering truth.

Let us say 20 people begin the 30 day program, how many do you think will finish it?

The most amazing phenomenon occurs.

8 people do part 1 to 3 and then give up
5 go on to part 6 and then give up
3 go on to part 8 and then give up
2 go on to part 10 and then give up.

1 got so stirred up about achieving part 11, sent me emails about the exciting elements of the success and then gave up.

And 1 goes all the way to part 30 and experiences the fullness of what the program was designed to achieve.

I have yet to fully understand this phenomenon completely, but I have a few clear cut ideas that I would like to reveal that will assist you greatly.

The first revelation that hit me was that only 5 percent of people will respond when success is offered.

95 percent of people conform and simply choose to continue to do what they feel is easier to do.

I am amazed that people are exposed to opportunities for success daily, and do nothing continuously, but still moan eternally that good things never happen to them.

How about you?

If the offer were made and you were invited to learn and grow and you knew that it would only cost you your time and that it would cost someone else their time, then would you too give up after day three?

Would you be someone that endured to the end or would the cares of world come and steal that which is exposed to you and that which you acknowledge to be good and useful.

Would you do nothing?

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

Maybe your payoff line is something like the statements below:

“I don't have a solution, but I certainly admire the problem.”
“Every time I think I know where it's at, they move it.”
“If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.”
“Never put off till tomorrow what you can avoid all together.”
“The shortest distance between two points is under construction.”
“It was such a lovely day I thought it was a pity to get up.”

The next revelation that hit me was that many people begin down the road of success but few actually see the manifestation of the success.

People want to have the end result, when they have barely begun.

They want day 30's success on day three

People’s mind sets are sadly filled with thoughts that sound a little like this, “If I do not “feel” successful or if I do not “see” success, then I doubt that this really works!!!”

Conforming is forming the people who are yawning!!!

They get bored, and simply give up, they see no proof or evidence of fruit based on three days of input, and their environment and external conditions simply encompass, smother and fill their minds with thinking that is simpler to digest.

Success is not the result of making money, making money is the result of success.

Success is not about achieving an end result, achieving an end result is the result of success.

Success is more than just about a decision to succeed, it is about continuous action based on that decision.

With this said, realize and understand that success is not about a futuristic place or time, but rather a moment in which you not only decide to act but one in which you actually act.

I leave you with this analogy:

There are three birds sitting on a wire, and two decide to fly away.

How many birds are now on the wire?

The answer is three.

Simply making a decision to do something is never enough, you have to actually do it.
