But what about the people who are perfectly happy not achieving anything?

So this is for all the people who want to have goals but not

achieve them.

Page 4: 10 Steps You Can Take To Guarantee Failure

1.  Make your goals vague - When setting your goals, use adjectives such as “more” and “some.” Goals like “I want to make more money” or “I want

to lose some weight” virtually guarantee your progress will be minimal. Be as wishy-washy as

possible. .

2.  Make your goals difficult to visualize - A good way to do this is to keep changing your

mind on the details of your goal. If you are thinking a goal such as:

“I want to own a red, blue or yellow Corvette or just a Mustang”, then you are definitely on the right track. If you kept that goal planted

firmly in your mind, you are virtually guaranteed you’ll never go above a used

Hyundai. .

3. Think and speak negatively about your goals - Try using words like “I

can’t” and “It’s too hard”. Goals such as “I can’t get a promotion, It’s too hard to

take on more responsibility” will certainly keep you at the bottom of the

food chain.

4. Avoid planning incremental steps - Take a goal - even a specific goal like “I will double my income by this time next year” Then simply leave it as-is.

Don’t write down any tasks or steps you’ll need to complete in order to achieve it. Just consider the

goal a wish and nothing more. Creating a step-by-step plan will only confuse

matters because it’s all too easy to take action on simple steps. Action in the direction of your goal would lead to success and you definitely don’t

want that.

5. Don’t Do - Talk - Because talk is easier than action, this step one of the easiest steps for you to

take. Try to fill up as much of your day with socializing as possible. Talk about all the things you

will do someday or that you were gonna do. Just make sure you don’t mess it up by doing anything productive. Action is your enemy. Embrace your

excuses!.

6. Wait until you are motivated -Let’s face it, it’s much too difficult to go jogging or open a mutual fund account when you simply don’t feel like it. So just wait. Waiting gives you the peace of mind that someday, you might do something. But not yet, the timing isn’t right and you aren’t motivated anyway.

7. Don’t set a date - Setting a date when you expect to achieve your goal is too

much pressure. Who needs it? Definitely not you if you want to avoid progress. You know that goals with dates get done, so by

not setting a date you avoid making a commitment. You can keep putting off

stuff.

8. List why it’s impossible - Now we are getting into the mental game of failing. This

is quite possibly your greatest weapon against achievement because it destroys

hope and optimism. So as soon as possible, set aside some time to create a long list of how impossible your

goal really is. No matter what your target is, I am sure you can come up with plenty of reasons why it’s impossible. Be creative,

make up some if you have to..

9. Don’t research your goal - You’re the kind of guy or gal who likes to “wing it.” Reading about how

others have succeeded achieving a goal similar to you is just a waste of time. Instead of standing on

their shoulders, they should be standing on yours! Sure, they might have overcome unbelievable odds

to get from homelessness to CEO or 450lbs to 180lbs - but they were probably just “lucky”

anyway. Don’t read anything that promises to help you get to your destination.

10. Think of anything except your goal - Here’s another mental strategy that will put you on the fast track to failure. Think of anything except for

your goal. Why visualize success when there are plenty of clouds and TV reruns to think about? And while you’re at it, take action on these flights of fancy

instead of your goal. Take the easy path, that’s the only way you can fail in record time.

To conclude, I know you might be a bit overwhelmed with all the work you have to do to avoid reaching your goal. You might even think it’s even more work. Never fear! You can do it.

Print out a copy and hang it on your bathroom mirror. Post it in your office. Read it every day. Internalize these principals and you can reach depths of failure you have possibly never imagined!
