Life Coaching for Success and Achieving Your Dreams

LOS ANGELES - Nov. 9, 2014 - PRLog -- Whatever you are doing in life, you will run into obstacles and you're probably used to dealing with these bumps. What you may not realize though is that sometimes, we are the obstacle.

We do things and act in certain ways that prevent us from succeeding.

One simple example is giving up because you believe the statistics that 60% of new businesses will fail when you could be part of the 40%!

Here are a few ideas on how you can stop being your own obstacle to success:

Stay Focused and Positive

The feeling and excitement of starting a new venture should never dissipate to the point that you forget why your dream and the reasons behind the business. This aura of positivity is what will keep you focused and motivated. It will also stop you from being your worst competitor.

Listen To The Right People

While constructive criticism is great because it will propel you to improve, you still need a solid support group to keep your spirits high. This group could be your family, close knit group of friends, your employees, your investor, or your partner. It's a propping system that works all the time.

Don't Be Afraid of Being Afraid

Fear is part of working through your difficulties. You question your abilities, knowledge, skills, and business savvy - and luckily, there's the Internet to help you. What you should never do is give in to the fear of failure.

Talk about it with a close confidante, find a mentor to guide you through your fear, and talk to other people in your industry. All these people can help you understand and confront your fears so they can be addressed properly. Running away is not an option.

See Yourself As A Success

If you can visualize yourself as an online success, you will achieve it. This is the power of positive thought. It has worked wonderfully for so many people and it will work for you

Ultimately in the end the only person who is responsible for your success is one person, and that's you.

The decisions you make today, strongly reflect on where you will be in the future. It's up to you to take responsibility for your life and take control and where it ends up.

Here's the following analysis paralysis: You're chasing your tail endlessly compiling 'information' regarding a particular opportunity and never getting down to actually acting on the opportunity.

How to overcome:

Technique #1: Take baby steps - get started. Start small. Figure out deeper details as you move forward.

Technique #2: Reverse engineer others - learn from the success and mistakes of those who went ahead of you.

Technique #3: Focus on one thing - focus on one thing, do it, figure out what you did right and what needs improvement, come up with tweaks, try again, measure results, pick the best variation and try again.Keep tweaking until you achieve the success you were shooting for.
