Question: Why Do People Fail at their Goals?

Answer: Their actions are insufficient to overcome the obstacles they encounter.

These obstacles are two fold. I assert that either

1. They don't know what needs to be done or how to do it. Basically, they lack the training, or

2. The have inner obstacles, resistances, indecision or limitations that prevent them from doing what is needed to make what they say a reality

I will not address #1 in this post.

I will assume that if you are reading this post you have a sufficient amount of understanding and insight to be successful if you just executed what you know.

I am not a "Sales Trainer" of the specific technique to use when selling to your clients and customers. You may be wondering then why you should listen to me.

I'm an expert at helping people identify the critical obstacles that prevent them from having what they want. I then help people remove these obstacles so they can create the results easily and quickly.

I specifically work with entrepreneurs, self-employeed professionals and sales people to empower them to be powerful leaders and successful in their field.

Simple Obstacle Removal Process

1. Identify what you want. In business, this is the next measurable goal or objective you will focus on

2. Ask yourself, "What is preventing me from fulfilling on this right now, easily and quickly"

3. Behind each of these issues there is a limiting belief, experience or conversation you have with yourself that prevents you being in action

4. You have 2 options:

a. Just Do It – Do what needs to be done anyway even if you have obstacles or don't feel like doing it

b. Get Coached – work with a business coach who works with people in your field to help you remove these. This will help you more quickly and easily get your results

7 Reasons NOT to Firewalk

I usually answers the question of why people SHOULD consider attending a Firewalk training or ceremony (Top 7 Reasons People Firewalk). This time I will answer why people SHOULD NOT attend a Firewalk. If you are attracted or hold tightly to any of the following than maybe Firewalking is not for you.

Why NOT to Firewalk

1. Being Irresponsible: If you are not willing to take responsibility for the outcome of your life, don't attend a Firewalk. Critical to firewalk is your willingness to accept responsibility for the outcome of your actions. Often there is a huge potential upside to a potential set of actions, but their is also a risk. If you cannot accept the risk, than don't even bother doing it.

2. Thinking it Through: This usually turns into analysis paralysis. The most important opportunities that will make a difference in your life will probably require a quick decision. Powerful opportunities move quickly, and you want to be able to  identify and commit to great opportunities when they cross your path before somebody else takes it first. If you feel more comfortable analyzing and thinking things through rather than taking action, then don't attend a Firewalk.

3. Nothing is Sacred: The Firewalk is traditionally a rite of initiation to celebration and empower local and religious communities. If you don't feel a pull toward the realm of the sacred and spiritual then don't attend a Firewalk. Stay home and watch Myth Busters on TV.

4. Creature of Routine: If you are a creature of habit and don't like to expand yourself and try new things, then definitely don't attend a Firewalk. If you have been a creature of routine in the past, but would like to transform what is not working, then race to your next Firewalk in your area. Or even fly to one in another city as soon as possible.

5. Low Levels of Awareness: Do you love staying unaware of your full potential in life? Do you consider yourself a finite being? If you are content with the limits of who you currently know yourself to be, don't go to a Firewalk. Firwalking expands your awareness of who you are and how you can live powerfully in life.

6. Complaining and Negativity: If you like to complain and dwell on obstacles and challenges in your life, rather than climb over them, around them or blast through them, whatever it takes, then stay at home or go chat over coffee with your friends about those crazy Firewalkers.

7. Commited to Fear and Worry: I doubt anyone will readily admit to this, but many, many people demonstrate their committment to this with their actions. If you  stay in fear or worry more than a few days or weeks at the most, you are stuck. Living Powerfully is alway pushing the envelop, and fear will show up. But if you are still stopped about what you want because of fear and worry, it is time to get unstuck. But if you are really committed to staying small, then don't attend a Firewalk.

After the Firewalk…What Next?

The Laws of the Universe
by Michael McDermott (aka Kahuna Paka)
2005

Now that you’ve firewalked, what next?

“You do not get rich by doing certain things, you get rich by doing things in a certain way.” — Wallace D. Wattles, The Science of Getting Rich, 1903.

The firewalk is a powerful tool, giving you a reference point, an “anchor” which you can use at any time in your life to walk through any fear or doubt.

There are laws of the universe that are as certain and scientific in their effects as the law of gravity. The firewalk is a marvelous tool. However, it’s not enough to just use the firewalk to be able to face and walk through your doubt and fear. If you want to cause the creation of your vision rapidly you must become aware of, and consciously start using the laws of the universe along with the tool of the firewalk. This conscious use of the laws of the universe will launch you into a new dimension, a higher frequency of vibration, which will enable you to move forward in a Quantum Leap, causing the creation of whatever you want to create in your life.

How can you create your vision, now that you have the firewalk under your belt as an “anchor” to face and walk through your fear?

There are seven laws of energy that Bob Proctor talks about in “The Science of Getting Rich.” Every one of these laws is vitally important and these laws expand and expound upon the one great law, namely “Energy Is.”

The Law of Perpetual Transmutation

We are thinking beings. Consciousness is forever expanding. We are creative beings, which means that one thought leads to another and we can’t stop thinking. The creation of thought goes on in an endless cycle as automatically as breathing.

If the thoughts we think are negative and fearful, we get doubt and fear as a result, which causes a pulling back in our action, and the result is lack and limitation.

If the thoughts we think are positive, we get attuned to the law of FAITH, which helps us move forward in our lives. Living and taking action with full faith and purpose is a part of creating everything we want in life. But we must come to full knowledge and practice of the principles and laws of the universe to get to where we want to go.

How can we stay positive in a world that sometimes appears to be so negative?

The first step is to know what we want and begin to focus on it every day. I’m going to suggest that you write a goal down, perhaps on a 3 x 5 card. Carry it will you every day. Look at that card and read that card over many times every single day. That will help you stay focused on the vision of what you want to create in your life.

What we focus on expands. Spend time every day focusing on your dreams and your visions. Keep the bright promise of the fulfillment of your dreams and visions very strong and constant in your mind. It’s the conscious use of the law of cause and effect that will bring about the creation of whatever it is that you want. It must come to pass. Napoleon Hill in Think and Grow
Rich, said “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”

Think about that. Now, ask yourself the question, what do I want? What do you really want? Make a decision right now, that you aren’t going to waste one more day creating things you don’t want in your life. Decide what you want. Make a decision to go for your dreams. Step boldly into a new dimension of thought and being. Make this a quantum leap. Go ahead and create your bright visions. And don’t be afraid to think and dream BIG.

I will get more into the 7 laws of the universe, and in particular the Law of Perpetual Transmutation in my next email.

Aloha,
