Considerations, Fears & Roadblocks

Jack Canfield discusses Considerations, Fears & Roadblocks as the 3 obstacles to goal achievement in his book ‘The Success Principles’.
Considerations are thoughts like “this is going to be hard work”, “I have never done this before”, “the market is already saturated”….etc….etc. Confronting these thoughts is a good thing, because they have been stopping you subconsciously attaining or attempting the goal. Once they are brought into the conscious domain they can be dealt with so you can move past them.
Fears on the other hand are feelings. Fear of rejection, failure and loss are common blocks to achieving goals. To conquer fears you must:-
1- Acknowledge the fear
2- Attempt to understand why is exists.
3- Seek counsel about the fear
4- Look the fear in the eye and take the courage to obliterate it. Try to remember the other fears you have broken through in the past that no longer concern you.
Roadblocks are external circumstances, beyond just thoughts and feelings in your head. Not having enough money to start the project is a common roadblock, yet if you can convey your passion, you can recruit investors to help overcome this obstacle. “Where there’s a will there’s a way”. Some roadblocks, like changing legislation, can seem insurmountable but again your ability to persuade others is down to the power of your own belief in the need for change.
