Do you ever feel like you are going through life with an anchor that is entrenched so deep in your being that you forget it is even there?  This is the way many of us walk around all day and then we wonder, why does this success thing always allude me?  Why is that guy successful, I am smarter than he is?  Well, how do you change this and unleash the success you know you were destined for?  I may not be able to tell you exactly the process that will propel you into the success that you are looking for, however, I can tell you what will not get you there.  The answer may surprise you, but after going through the endless cycle of material on success I have finally come to the conclusion that most self help products simply don’t work!

At this point your probably thinking, who is this guy and how in the hell does he know what will work for me?  Basically, I am just like anyone else, over the past ten or so years I have purchased countless books and products on how to be more successful, each one of them promising they have the answer that I had been looking for all along… each product was going to show me the shortest route to a happier, more enjoyable experience of life.  While all of these product had some nice things to say and  probably helped me in one way or another, none of these products ever really delivered on their promise.  The reason being is that most products in the self help industry today do not work at the root cause of the anchor that holds us all back.

I am sure the producers of these products meant very well and genuinely want to help us become more successful in our lives.  However, most of the authors are only writing books or giving seminars because they were successful themselves and they know the self help industry is an $11 billion a year industry.  Whats missing though is that 99% of successful people are NOT consciously aware of what made them successful.  As a result, we get a bunch of feel good talk about being more motivated and of course, thinking more positive thoughts.  This may be fun to read and give us a temporary burst of enthusiasm, but after a few days the anchor digs in and brings us right back to where we started, searching for more answers on how to be more successful.

Now for the good news, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars to find the elusive secrets to success you have been looking for.  In fact, going down that road will hinder your progress for the reasons outlined above.  The secret is to look within and ask what is holding you back.  If you are quiet long enough, the answer will be there.  You just have to listen.  The most overlooked aspect of personal growth is asking the right questions.  We are programmed for seeking answers, which is why we are so fascinated by self development products in the first place.  However, the answer is always going to come from within.  Any self help author that has had success with his participants understands this and focuses his material on creative ways to getting participants to focus within themselves and allowing the answers they are really looking for to come into their awareness.  The answers that emerge are ALWAYS perfect, but of course, never exactly same for any two participants.
