Why People Fail....
- The person always finds someone or something else to blame for their
problems. They are not accountable for their actions and may be out of
touch with the consequences of their actions. They blame their failure on
the economy, being in the wrong location or things that happen to them.
Blaming is an attempt to make ourselves feel better.
- Believe that just because they are a good massage therapist, they will be
able to just open shop and have their schedule filled.
- Believe that there must be a get quick answer. There must be a
marketing technique that will get clients in the door. In reality,
there is no secret weapon. There is only hard work, commitment and
passion.
- Expects that everything should be free including free information on how
to market their practice. The world owes me a living.
- Often are jealous of others who are successful.
- You just don't have what it takes to succeed. Who told you
that? Why do you think that? Is it true?
- Unable to ask for help.
- Perfectionist. Everything must be perfect before they can start
taking clients or selling their products.
- Think that obstacles are a sign to quit rather than overcome.
- Believes that they have tried everything and nothing works.
Perceives that they don't have much of a choice.
- Are waiting until everything is perfect.
In other words the main reason that we fail is when we are
caught in the middle of
the drama triangle.
The victim is waiting for others to take care of us or rescue us. The
victim is not wanting to take responsibility for the outcome of their
actions.
We persecute and make others wrong or blame ourselves for our failure.
We attempt to rescue others to avoid our own responsibilities. We often
think we know what is best for others.

Donald Trump said " When we want to do something we find a way, but when we don't we find an excuse."
What is your excuse for not having the practice that you want or need?
