1. Timing

In my experience, with over 20,000 personal one-on-one coaching hours under my belt, the most common excuse I hear in some form or another is that the timing is not right.

In reality, bad timing is overused and easy to pick out as an excuse because it clearly doesn’t really relate to running out of time. It’s actually due to poor time management, procrastination and lack of enthusiasm when it comes to your career.

 

2. Finances

When I first started my coaching company, I heard the excuse, “There’s not enough money,” on an hourly basis. This excuse suggests that you could be lacking strategies or ideas that could help you reach your financial goals.

When I first met Jerry, he told me he didn’t have enough money to sustain his business or invest in something that could save it. I gave him his only options — failure or success. He had to choose. He couldn’t continue running his business the way he was. He would continue to lose money and then run out of choices completely.

 

Jerry decided to take the chance, and invested on business-building activities like systems, processes and more. He invested in his business, and his return on investment was incredible — he quadrupled his business in two years.

If it’s ideas and strategies that you’re lacking, go out and get a mentor or financial adviser who will help you gain the necessary knowledge and understanding of succeeding financially.

3. Not knowing

“I don’t know how” is most often used when people get pushed out of their comfort zone and have no desire to push themselves further. This often means you lack belief and confidence in your own abilities.

This excuse is very easy to combat. Take the time to learn what you need to do by reading up on it, searching for YouTube videos, gaining practical experience or asking for help.
