Jillian Michaels has been one of the trainers on the television show, The Biggest Loser. In addition, she is a very successful author and entrepreneur. Below are the three common reasons she feels business people don't reach their goals.

1. They don't really truly identify what they want. They are so caught up in what other people want for them or they haven't really idnetified their passion in life.

2. They don't believe in their ability to achieve their dreams. What is the difference between you and Oprah? Nothing, except that she believed in herself and asked, "Why not me?" where most of us ask, "Why me? Why do I deserve great things? etcetera."

3. Most people are not willing to put in the work and make the sacrifices. You can't just wish for things; you have to work for them.

The information above was an excerpt from the January/February issue of Home Business. I think it is terrific and a bullseye.
