Brain Training For Success – Lesson 2.1 – Top 6 Excuses That Limit Your Success

Welcome to Module 2 of the “Brain Training for Success” course!

You now understand the importance of having a success mindset after completing Module 1.

Module 2 focuses on overcoming and minimizing limiting beliefs. You’ll greatly reduce the resistance in your life by completing this module.

Let’s Get Started On Lesson 9

You’ve established an impressive success brain mindset with the first module.

The next step is to aggressively deal with any limiting beliefs you may have. These are like anchors that you drag along with you. They sap your motivation and resolve.

It’s common to make excuses for your lack of success. The excuses are comforting in their own way. The end result is to justify to the world, and yourself, why you’re not doing better.

Many of us have a series of excuses that we can pull out of a hat at a moment’s notice. There’s always one that seems to fit the bill perfectly.

This is done largely to protect ourselves and to justify our current circumstances.

Are any of these excuses holding you back from success?

“I Don’t Know How.”

This common excuse gives you permission to not even try.

However, this excuse simply doesn’t hold water. At no time in the history of mankind has there been so much information available.

Want to start a charity? There are hundreds of books on the subject.

Need to lose 100 lbs? There are thousands of resources available.

One of the best ways to figure out how to do something is to find a qualified mentor.

Another effective option is to simply try and then adjust your approach based on your results.

“I’m Afraid.”

This is perhaps the most socially acceptable answer. Who hasn’t been afraid?

But there is very little to legitimately fear in our modern times. In most circumstances, you’re not in danger of being eaten by a lion or falling off a cliff.

Most of our fears are socially based and have no real consequences. Being afraid isn’t a valid excuse 99% of the time.

Would you rather be successful or protect your ego?

“I Don’t Have Enough Time.”

Do you really believe this?

Nearly all of us waste time on activities that provide no real value, including watching TV, internet surfing, and a host of other time wasters.

You know in your heart you could make the time for something that was truly important to you.

“I Don’t Have Enough Money.”

This is another common excuse, but there is usually a way to work around a lack of financial resources.

For example, if you’d like to learn to play the piano but can’t afford one, you could:

• Find a free piano on Craigslist
• Pick up an inexpensive digital piano in a pawnshop
• Ask a local church or school to use their piano after hours
• Locate a piano you can use at your local college

“It’s Too Late For Me.”

It’s too late? A person climbed Mount Everest in his 80s. People have gone back to medical school in their 60s. What would you like to do?

Getting a late start might be less convenient and more challenging, but there’s nothing wrong with that.

It means that you’ll only take on the challenges that are really important to you. That could be a good thing.

To be fair, there are a few things that require an earlier start than others. You’re not likely to play in the NBA if you take up basketball in your 30ss. But you could be a coach or work in the front office.
