99% of people are not willing to do what it takes to make their dreams come true.”  –  Will Smith

It’s the age-old question: What does it take to succeed? You may think you know the answer, but I’m here to tell you that what leads to success can be a bit more complicated. Only 2% of people succeed in their professional endeavors. That means 98% of us fall short—and most people don’t even realize why. So if you’re ready for your life, business, or project to flourish, let’s dive into the 6 shocking reasons why only 2% succeed & 98% don’t.

1. Understand your “why.”

If you are unhappy with your life and your business, welcome the 98% of the population!

Everything may feel like a big battle; the growing pains of growing a business and finding happiness in yourself weigh heavy on your shoulders.

You constantly seek advice from so-called “experts,” read self-help books and listen to motivational speakers online.

When you know who you are, where you want to be, and how to connect with your inner self on your “why,” you will quickly break free from mediocrity.

Why do you want to write a book? Why do you want to create a blog that generates income? Why do you want to get into shape and feel good about yourself? Why do you want success in any area of your life?

Once you answer these questions clearly *and boldly, you will be on the path to living you’re ‘why.”

This is the most critical & shocking reason why only 2% succeed and 98% don’t.

 

2. Don’t expect overnight success.

Every day, countless people expect overnight success to come knocking.

But this rarely happens. No matter how talented or if you dream big, your business or lifestyle will only boom for a while. You have to hustle, and you have to play the long game for success to arrive.

Suppose you want to cater to everyone; your product, service & lifestyle will suffer. Be brave and focus on your customers, relationships, raising successful children, etc. it’s all a process. Channel your energy into doing one thing well so that it can succeed, then let others copy you as they try to catch up!

3. Leave a legacy

It’s too easy to get distracted and lose focus on what you are trying to achieve. If you have even a split-second of distraction, you risk losing focus and failing to achieve what you want. Keep your eye on the target and stay focused on your goals, and aim to leave a legacy.

4. Don’t let fear hold you back.

‘What if I fail? What if I need to be better?’

Wait until tomorrow, 98% of people say. Tomorrow is a place of regret and remorse for lost chances, broken dreams, and squandered opportunities. Don’t be a person who will say, “If only I started earlier.” I challenge you to start and make a difference in your life, career, and future.’

Become part of the 2% who don’t live in fear but break free from mental slavery.

5. Define success in your own words.

The problem is that many people need clarification about what they want or have not considered it.

We’re living in a time where it is possible to do anything we choose, yet too many of us are not doing what we want because we allow our lives and behaviors to be defined by societal pressures and the “rules” of society. It’s sad.

I challenge you to look in the mirror and ask yourself, “what does success look like, and what are the following three steps I can take to experience such success?

6. Building wealth

Stop watching your life slip away without leaving a lasting legacy.

The days go by, and here you are, getting older and approaching retirement but still working harder each year to get ahead financially and having little to no results to show.
