5 Reasons Why New Year’s Resolutions Fail. Plus A New Way To Succeed!

Every year millions of people make their New Year’s resolutions: They’re going to lose weight, stop drinking, get their six-pack or hit six figures in their business.

Most people give up these goals by mid-February, but this doesn’t have to be the case. With some good planning and attention to detail, you can see your goals accomplished by 2022.

Why Resolutions Fail

If you follow the life hacker blogs you’ve already heard a few reasons.

  1. Will Power Isn’t Enough.
  2. The Goal Is Out Of The Person’s Control.
  3. Lack of Planning.
  4. A Critical Mindset.

To this list, I want to add:

The Timing is Off

Timing is a major factor that is overlooked in the self-help world.

After all, the self-help world is a market and people are trying to sell their products NOW.

Self-help gurus know you want to change. They know you believe now is the time to do it and they have written books, designed machines, and concocted formulas to help you do it.

SO ACT NOW!
