I heard somewhere that most people never complete their new years resolutions. I think this is because most people focus on the result instead of focusing on the process. So for example instead of focusing on reaching a certain weight, focus on working out three times a week. If you can make consistency your goal, you may just create a new habit and your result will be fulfilled.
It is very important to have direction and goals with any project or new business venture. In the past I have found myself launching a great new business idea with no written plan or solid goals. I quickly discovered that while sometimes this approach works out fine, more often than not it either slows the process of success or eliminates it completely.
The fear of failure is a fear that so many people have. It is a fear that is not always easy to identify. A lot of people mask this fear with self assurance that what they would like to do won’t work and it is only a silly dream. Or that it is not a very practical thing to pursue. This fear prevents most of those people from doing the things they dream of doing.
