color: #fcff01; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br />According to him, here are the ten primary reasons while people fail in life, with my humble comments:<br /><br />1) ACTION WITHOUT VISION:<br /><br /><em>- Joel Arthur Barker, the Paradigm guy, calls this 'random activity';</em><br /><br /><em>- the vision of where one wants to go & what one wants to achieve as a result must be very clear at the onset;</em><br /><br /><em>- it is the clarity of vision that brings purpose & priority to what one does;<br /></em><br />2) VISION WITHOUT ACTION:<br /><br /><em>- Joel Arthur Barker calls it 'daydreaming';</em><br /><br /><em>- without a game plan & without putting it to work, nothing moves (as Albert Einstein is believed to have said, "Nothing changes until something moves!";</em><br /><br /><em>- please read my <a href="http://optimumperformancetechnologies.blogspot.com/2008/01/from-my-toolbox-smarts.html">earlier post </a>on developing a game plan with 'SMART';</em><br /><br />3) UNREALISTIC TIME FRAMES & EXPECTATIONS:<br /><br /><em>- from my personal experience, the typical human thirst for 'instant gratification' has partly to be blamed;</em><br /><br /><em>- the best way to overcome this problem to start with baby steps; e.g. next 7 days; next 30 days; next 60 days; next 90 days or so;</em><br /><br /><em>- having a proper time planning system also helps;<br /></em><br />4) 'WHY' NOT CLEAR:<br /><br /><em>- in reality, there isn't enough clarity in the thought processing, particularly during the process of defining personal goals;</em><br /><em></em><br /><em>- put it in another way, the purpose of wanting the goals in the first place is not yet appropriately defined;</em><br /><em></em><br /><em>- some questions worth pondering:</em><br /><em></em><br /><em>1) Do I really want it? Why?; 2) Do I really need it? Why?; 3) Is it worthwhile to have it? Why?; 4) Am I prepared to do whatever it takes to get it?</em><br /><br />5) DENIAL OF REALITY:<br /><br /><em>- for most people, it is always difficult to understand & accept that perception is reality at work;</em><br /><br />6) CONFLICTING VALUES:<br /><br /><em>- value clarification is never an easy task;</em><br /><em></em><br /><em>- from my personal as well as professional experience, one often needs a coach or mentor to guide & facilitate the process;</em><br /><br /><em>- when I first embarked on a disciplined goal setting process with 'Dynamics of Personal Motivation' (Success Motivation Institute) during the seventies, it took me quite a long while to sort out my value system;</em><br /><br />7) DIFFUSION OF ENERGY:<br /><br /><em>- this is trying to do too many tasks at one go, generally arising from trying to have too many goals in pursuit;</em><br /><br /><em>- application of Pareto's Law is essential to sorting out one's goals as well as tasks;</em><br /><br /><em>- it's also important to identify high-payout activities in the first place;</em><br /><br /><em>- the balanced<a href="http://optimumperformancetechnologies.blogspot.com/2008/01/food-for-thought-balanced-wheel-of-life.html"> 'Wheel of Life' </a>is worth exploring;</em><br /><br /><em>- also, it is important to reduce personal stress levels as it depletes one's energy very quickly; hence, practising some relaxation routines is a good antidote;</em><br /><br /><em>- learning the best practices for email, voicemail, interruptions & procrastination will be most helpful;<br /></em><br />8) LACK OF FOCUS:<br /><br /><em>- I reckon this has more to do with the fact that the goals & values which one wants are not properly defined in the first place;</em><br /><br /><em>- I believe not realising the difference between urgency & importance, particulary relating to task management, also contributes to the problem;</em><br /><br /><em>- also the fear of making mistakes often aggravates the thinking, resulting in poor focus;</em><br /><br /><em>- for those readers who have undergone <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">outdoor</span> adventure training, the 'swinging log' provides the most enriching 'real-world' experience of the 'lack of focus';</em><br /><br /><em>- be very clear about what one wants in life;</em><br /><br />9) TRYING TO DO IT ALL ALONE:<br /><br /><em>- the saying 'No Man is an island' is very true;</em><br /><br /><em>- networking or the buddy system often expedites the goal achieving process;</em><br /><br />10) FEAR OF FAILURE:<br /><br /><em>- To me, I think the 'wanting to look good among the peers' is a greater problem that the 'fear of failure';</em><br /><br /><em>- the best way to overcome this is to take baby steps mentioned earlier & tie in a reward system for successive completion of each step;</em><br /><br /><em>- another way to deal with this problem is ask yourself: what is the worst case scenario if things go wrong? for me; if it is not life & death, then it is not a major issue to be concerned with, as long the contingent plans are in place to deal with it;</em><br /><em></em><br /><em>- also, learn how to relax, because worrying is another important issue that often arises from this problem;</em><br /><em></em><br />[Gary Ryan Blair is President of <a href="http://www.goalsguy.com/" target="_blank">The GoalsGuy</a>.

Volvo/Mac trucks have had me in twice for senior-level leadership talks, with a core message that they are reinventing or transforming. The typical truck today contains more technology than a Cessna plane, and the company knows that they are no longer selling a truck - they are selling a service with guaranteed uptime because they know when it is going to break down. They can sell their clients - large fleet operators - a guarantee of uptime. They're going from selling a truck - to selling something different altogether.
