There are never simple answers here. If there were, we'd all be clown-happy 24/7 and frankly anyone telling you that they can solve all of your problems is more likely to inject you with nothing but false hope that will eventually lead to your failure.

這絕沒有簡(jiǎn)單直接的答案。如果有，我們所有人都會(huì)像小丑一樣每時(shí)每刻都開心，實(shí)際上，有任何人告訴你他們能解決你所有的問題的話，這其實(shí)沒有給你任何東西，除了那最終會(huì)領(lǐng)你走向失敗的錯(cuò)誤的希望。

So let's step back for a second and hit on a couple of reasons why you're not leaping forward towards your goals. Again, not a fool proof plan but if one of these resonates with you, take steps to correct or modify the situation.

退一步來看看那些你為什么不能躍向成功的原因吧。 再次申明，這些不是萬能的計(jì)劃，不過如果其中某個(gè)適合你的話，那就采取些措施去改進(jìn)目前的狀況吧。

You're Not Putting In Enough Time

1、你沒有投入足夠的時(shí)間

The first rule about achieving success is that it won't magically happen overnight. It often takes weeks, months or even years to achieve it. If you think that you can put in a few hours of work and see the results you want, think again.

第一個(gè)獲取成功的理由是它不會(huì)在一夜之間就發(fā)生。它常常需要幾周、幾個(gè)月甚至幾年的時(shí)間去達(dá)成。如果你想著你想在幾小時(shí)的努力后就會(huì)看到自己想要的結(jié)果，再重新想想吧。

Before you blame anyone or anything else with your lack of success, ask yourself the question if you've been putting in enough time or have you been taking shortcuts? Be honest with yourself. Have you?

在你把自己的不成功歸咎給某人或某事前，問下你自己是否投入了足夠多的時(shí)間？又或者你是否有找到更便捷的方法？誠(chéng)實(shí)地看待自己。你有嗎？

You're Not Putting In Enough Effort

2、你沒有投入足夠的努力

If being successful was easy then don't you think everyone would be successful?

如果成功是很容易的事，難道你不認(rèn)為每個(gè)人都會(huì)是成功的嗎？

It takes a serious amount of hard work and effort to be successful. If you want to lose weight or gain muscle, you need to train hard for weeks on end to see results. If you want to make money or build your business, you need to work hard at it. If you want to get better at socializing, you need to put in the effort to learn to get better.

取得成功需要付出非同一般的工作和努力。如果你希望減輕體重或者增長(zhǎng)肌肉，你需要去刻苦地訓(xùn)練幾周然后才能看到結(jié)果。如果你想賺錢又或者開創(chuàng)自己的生意，你需要努力地為之工作。如果你想提高自己的社交能力，你需要付出努力去學(xué)習(xí)來提升自己的能力。

Are you putting in enough effort to get the success you want?

你有付出足夠的努力去取得自己想要的成功嗎？

I've personally written over 250 unique articles related to personal development before I started seeing any significant results with my blog. Considering that each article is about a different topic and is over 1000 words long, it's indicative that it requires hard work - a lot of it - before seeing success.

在我開始看見我博客有顯著成功之前，我個(gè)人已經(jīng)寫過超過250篇獨(dú)創(chuàng)的關(guān)于個(gè)人能力提升的文章。鑒于每篇文章都是關(guān)于不同的話題并且超過1000字長(zhǎng)，它意味著在看到成功之前這是需要努力付出的——很多的付出。

You're Not Following A Proven Strategy

3、你沒有一個(gè)行之有效的策略

Even if you're disciplined enough to put in a lot of time and a lot of effort, if you're not following a proven strategy for success you're just wasting your resources. Break apart your goal into smaller pieces and then look for someone that has perfected the pieces so you can then determine what works and doesn't in your situation.

即使你對(duì)自己十分嚴(yán)格并且投入了很多時(shí)間和努力，如果你不是遵循著一個(gè)行之有效的策略，你只會(huì)是在浪費(fèi)你的資源。把你的目標(biāo)分開成幾個(gè)更小的目標(biāo)，然后找其他已經(jīng)完美地達(dá)成這些小目標(biāo)的人看看，然后你就可以確定在你目前的狀況來看，做什么是有利的做什么是無用的。

With pretty much everything that you're trying to achieve, there is someone who has already done it before you. Why re-invent the wheel? You'll see results much faster if you take a method proven to give success and put your time and effort into following a that strategy as it pertains to your goal. However, go in knowing that there is no template so you have to somewhat make the process your own.

你想去做的所有事情基本上都有人已經(jīng)在你之前做過。為何不學(xué)習(xí)他人的做法？如果你采用一個(gè)被證明過可以取得成果的辦法并投入你的時(shí)間和努力在這個(gè)方法上朝自己的目標(biāo)走，你會(huì)很快就看到成功的結(jié)果。但是，如走的那條路沒有前人可借鑒的經(jīng)驗(yàn)的話，你只能自己想辦法來達(dá)成目標(biāo)了。

You Have A Bad Sense of Entitlement

4、你感受不到自己的權(quán)力。

What I mean by this is that you don't feel that you deserve the success you want to achieve.

我在這指的是你感受不到你想要的成功是你應(yīng)得的。

If for any reason you subconsciously believe that you're not good enough for the success you want, or that you haven't really done anything to deserve it, then you're trying to swim against the stream. You know where you're going but you're fighting yourself every step of the way, and sometimes even sabotaging your own progress.

如果有什么原因使得你潛意識(shí)覺得自己沒有那么優(yōu)秀能取得自己想要的成功，又或者你沒有切實(shí)去做任何使你能得到它的事情能夠，那么你就是在嘗試著逆流而游。你知道你要去哪里，但你要在每一步上和自己在奮斗，有些時(shí)候甚至阻礙了自己的進(jìn)步。

Your subconscious mind is like a machine, and it's designed to do exactly what it's been programmed to do. Your subconscious mind is programmed by your conscious thoughts and actions. Both good and bad habits reside in your subconscious mind and you know from the definition that a habit is an automatic action created through conscious repetition.

你的潛意識(shí)就像一個(gè)機(jī)器，它被設(shè)計(jì)成按照它被編程的目的去做事情。你的潛意識(shí)是被你的有意識(shí)的思想和行動(dòng)編程的。好的和不好的習(xí)慣都會(huì)存在于你的潛意識(shí)中并且你就其定義也可以看出習(xí)慣就是由有意識(shí)的重復(fù)創(chuàng)造的自然而然的行動(dòng)。

Thus...if through your own thoughts or social conditioning, you've programmed your subconscious mind in a way that you're not good enough to achieve success or that you deserve to achieve success, you'll always be fighting yourself. (e.g. If you always tell yourself "I'm a loser" then your subconscious will always guide you towards things that will make that statement true.)

因此...如果你通過你自己的想法和社會(huì)狀況來編程你的潛意識(shí)并使之認(rèn)為你不足夠優(yōu)秀去取得你應(yīng)得的成功，你將會(huì)總和自己做斗爭(zhēng)。（例如：如果你總是告訴你自己我是一個(gè)失敗者那么你的潛意識(shí)將會(huì)總引領(lǐng)著你走向這種會(huì)變成現(xiàn)實(shí)的失敗狀態(tài)。）

Stop thinking negative thoughts and start to reprogram your subconscious mind with positive and successful thoughts.

You're Not Giving Enough Value

5、你沒有做出足夠的奉獻(xiàn)。

Give and you shall receive.

給予他人，你也會(huì)有所收獲。

In most cases you need to give value before you see any success come to you. Whether your "giving" is in the form of entertainment, services, products or motivation does not matter. As long as you're making a difference to someone's life or making someone's life easier...you're giving value.

在很多時(shí)候，你在成功之前往往需要去奉獻(xiàn)自己。無論你的“奉獻(xiàn)”是通過娛樂、服務(wù)他人、給予他人產(chǎn)品、給予他人鼓勵(lì)等形式。只要你為他人的生活帶來一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)改變，使他人的生活更容易..你就是在奉獻(xiàn)。

If you're not seeing the success you want, ask yourself if you're giving enough value to others. What can you do to give more value? People love high value for money (or time), so the more value you give, the more success you can expect to have.

如果你還沒有取得成功，問問你自己是否為他人做了足夠多的事情。怎樣才能更多的為社會(huì)奉獻(xiàn)自己？人們喜歡他人付出的金錢或者時(shí)間，你奉獻(xiàn)出的東西越多，你期望獲取的成功也會(huì)更多。

You're Spreading Yourself Too Thin

6、把自己“切分得太薄了”

A common cause for lack of success is that you spread yourself too thin across too many projects.

There are dozens of interesting methods and time-consuming activities in any niche, and it's way too easy to get seduced into trying more than you can handle. There are only 24 hours in a day and you can only focus your attention and effort on so many things before you become incompetent at everything you do.

在任何地方都有幾十種有趣的方法和消耗時(shí)間的活動(dòng)，而且很容易會(huì)被嘗試著去做更多你已經(jīng)不能應(yīng)付的事情所吸引。一天只有24個(gè)小時(shí)，而你只能在你不能很好的完成自己做的任何一件事情之前集中精力和努力在其中的某些事情上。

Focus your energy on doing 1 or 2 projects at a time, with the best possible work you can do. Anything more than this and you're just diluting your skills and as a consequence...your success gets diluted too!

每次把你的能量集中在1個(gè)或者2個(gè)項(xiàng)目上，并盡你可能去做得最好。你只會(huì)稀釋了你的能力如果你去做多于此的事情...你的成功也會(huì)被稀釋！

Don't try to be a jack of all trades, become a master of one. Do one thing, with all your focus and energy, and do it right.

不要想著成為萬事通，去成為某一樣事的專家。做一件事，盡你所有的精力集中去做，并以正確的方式來做。

You're Not Remarkable

7、你不是非凡的

Seth Godin (A popular writer and bestselling author) really emphasizes the importance of being remarkable with your business and your marketing. You need to stand out and be remarkable, because there are way too many people all trying to fit in and follow the same boring strategies.

塞斯·戈?。ㄒ晃皇軞g迎的作家和暢銷書作家）著實(shí)強(qiáng)調(diào)了你非凡的業(yè)務(wù)和營(yíng)銷的重要性。你需要引人注目并非同一般，因?yàn)橛刑嗟娜硕紘L試著去適應(yīng)和遵循同樣令人厭煩的策略。

Ask yourself:

問問你自己：

What makes you different from your competition? Is your product much better? How about your customer service?

是什么凸顯你在競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中的獨(dú)特？是你的產(chǎn)品比別人的好很多嗎？你的顧客服務(wù)如何？

If you can't answer those questions immediately then maybe it's time to consider making some changes to your approach and strategy.

如果你不能立刻回答這些問題，那么或許是時(shí)候需要去考慮對(duì)你自己的方法和策略作出一些變動(dòng)了。

You're Playing It Safe

8、你的行動(dòng)過于謹(jǐn)慎

If you're worried what the world will think of you and what others will say about you then you're seriously handicapping your chances of achieving success. You'll likely take the "safe" route for all your decisions, and by safe I mean boring and with mediocre results.

如果你在擔(dān)心世界上其他人會(huì)怎么想怎么評(píng)論你，那么你很大程度上為你取得成功的機(jī)會(huì)設(shè)置了限制。你很可能會(huì)為你所有的決定選擇“安全”的路線，而我說的“安全”是指乏悶且平庸的結(jié)果。

You may think that taking risks will without a doubt hurt your success...but sometimes playing it safe can hurt your success much more than you think.

你或許認(rèn)為鋌而走險(xiǎn)會(huì)毫無疑問阻礙你取得成功...但是有時(shí)候過分保守的做法反而會(huì)超乎你想象地更多地阻止你取得成功。

Playing it safe and sticking to the same path as all your competition will at best produce decent results, and at worst cost you a lot of time and money. Taking a risk by trying something new may result in a waste of your resources, but it could also result in amplifying your success tenfold.

Don't be afraid to risk humiliating yourself or wasting resources by trying something new. If you fail, people may laugh but if you succeed, people will support you, respect you and cheer you on.

*There's a difference between doing something risky and something stupid. You don't want to bet the farm on a coin-toss.
