Why Do Many Smart, Motivated People Never Achieve Their Goals?

In his multimedia "Unleash Your Greatness Success System" Mike Litman gives his audience a virtual "kick in the butt" - albeit nicely. In this program he pushes hard to get the reader past their desire for "feel good" motivation; instead he offers a plan that, if followed, should result in the listener making strides towards achieving his or her goals.

The first time I listened to Mike Litman, being a somewhat reserved person myself, I was - to put it mildly - taken aback. The level of energy conveyed in his presentations is comparable to that of a category 5 hurricane. I have to admit that in the first few seconds the thought did cross my mind as to whether his energy levels were artificially high because something else was lacking, but that concern disappeared quickly as I began to absorb the principles being conveyed.

Mike became widely recognized when his co-authored book "Conversations With Millionaires" became a #1 bestseller. He intimates that after spending several years seeking and studying success principles, he finally captured the essence of what was required to really make it. In the following four years he was able to practise a simple - but often overlooked - strategy that propelled him to the success he is today.

Included with a digital copy of the acclaimed bestseller and other valuable texts are audio interviews with such personalities as Jim Rohn and Tony Robbins. What I found particularly helpful in these interviews is the practical, concrete advice on conquering mediocrity and the honest insight into what it really takes to be an achiever. Some of these nuggets of wisdom seem to have largely disappeared in between our busyness and fixation with technological solutions.

While the quality of sound in a few of the audio clips leaves a bit to be desired because of background noise, my attention was captivated. I don't know at what point I tuned out the noise while intent on absorbing each word. Audiophiles may find the interference on some sections annoying, but the positive impact of the classic, powerful audio content on the listener's way of thinking should be significant.

If you already know that there's a lot more you want to achieve in this life you probably know as well that you need a plan, and you need to stay motivated to work that plan. You'll need proven steps - strategies and tactics that have created millionaires but that are uncomplicated enough that regular people without a lot of resources can apply to their lives and drive themselves to success.

I think the "Unleash Your Greatness Success System" does a very good job of directing our focus back to the uncomplicated core principles of cause and effect in life. If you are passionate about achieving your goals and want success to be your end result but need your mind de-cluttered, someone to help you take stock, point you in the right direction and help you get going a personal mentor, whether in person or via recorded media, is a good start.

As Mike says, "You don't have to get it right, you just have to get it going." Don't look back over your life years from now and regret not even trying to reach for your dreams. Be secure in the knowledge that you at least gave it your best shot. Start today.
