Disarm This Sneaky Enemy
You have an enemy. He wants you dead, beaten, down for the count. He is lurking around, waiting to devour you. If you think you don’t have this enemy, wake up to reality!
I bet you’ve heard the term, “practice makes perfect.” And indeed, repetition is the mother of skill; you and I both know you don’t become a master of something overnight! When you learn by repetition, the skill set becomes a habit.
But there is one very important thing to note! If you are “practicing” the wrong thing, you are sowing the wrong habit! Practice and correction make perfect!
What happens quite often is, people pick up a skill and then assume they’ve already mastered it. At that point, you stop being teachable. It is a fantasy to think you only need to hear something once or twice in order to get the full effect. And he who chases fantasies, has poverty waiting for him at the finish line.
It’s likely, along with many of us, you have made this mistake – maybe even more than once! Next thing you know, you’re hitting a wall or obstacle while pursuing that skill and generally you just give up… because you think the whole thing isn’t working. And then you throw that skill set, niche or even career path down the drain because you don’t believe it’ll bring you any success.
I’m not here to say you need to be persistent. After all, we know doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is literally the definition of insanity. You need to CORRECT and persist!
Once you begin achieving success and actually getting results – that is what you should repeat over and over. But don’t make the mistake of thinking that “mastering” something means you are incapable of learning something new. Our economy, our world, our message media are constantly changing. Therefore, the need for you to refine your skills and craft is totally necessary for continued success!
If you are one of those who have given up on something because you hit a wall, go back! You have already been a witness to the fruits of your labors, you might just need to correct something in your process in order to keep moving forward. Unfortunately, 98% of the population will tie their failure to the marketplace, while 2% know there is plenty of money flowing to increase their profits.
It is easy to get discouraged, but as long as you stay teachable and correct your errors and processes, your skills WILL improve. Leave me your comments below and share this post with your circle of influence on Facebook or Twitter.

Dreams and goals are supposed to be impossible. If you could accomplish them easily, everyone would be successful… right? A dream should be something you totally lack the current skills to do, but something laid on your heart to accomplish!
How do you get a huge, passionate vision worth living for? Set a goal, make a plan and take the necessary steps to make it happen…it can’t be some pie-in-the-sky idea just floating around out there!
