Why You Don’t Succeed and How To

Why do so many people fail to succeed while others break through and create the life they dream of?

In this episode of the Personal Development Unplugged Podcast, I dive into four powerful questions that can change how you think about success, failure, and the choices you make every day. Are you just settling? Trying to move mountains? Wishing life was easy? Or constantly struggling?

Here’s the thing — success isn’t about either/or. It’s about this AND that. It’s about striving, celebrating the plateaus, reviewing your values, and then springboarding forward with even more clarity and energy.

• You’ll discover:
  Why settling keeps you stuck in the “I wish I had” syndrome
  How moving mountains without balance makes you lose what you value most
  The secret power of the plateau and why it’s not failure but fuel
• 
  How to build harmony (not balance) into your journey to success
• The five keys to success that pull it all together

If you’ve ever felt stuck, stalled, or doubted yourself on the way to your goals, this episode is for you. By the end, you’ll know how to pause, review, and reignite your path — and you’ll be ready to step into the top few percent who actually succeed.

Listen now, share with a friend who needs this, and let’s make success inevitable.

And the transcript WARNING if you're a lover of the written word this may make you frustrated, or angry - you have been warned - is it an 'ism

  

Good day, good morning, good afternoon, and any of all that stuff. Why don't you achieve success? Do you know what? I'm going to go straight into this with two, three, maybe four questions and see if they resonate with you. Here's the first one.

 

Are you simply just settling for what you have? You know, that settle for what you've got. It's that balance. And you know what I think about balance.

 

It's shit. But never mind. Just see if that sort of resonates with you.

 

Are you just settling for what you have? Or, are you moving mountains to get what you want? Are you moving mountains to get your dreams, your goals? Do you really put every effort in? Do you see every moment of the day what you're looking for, the smell of success, and you're going for it every hour of the day? Now those two questions I heard from a guy called Alex Horowitz. I think that's how you pronounce his name. Superb, lovely guy, lovely guy.

 

Loves his questions and questioning himself and human behaviour. Here's your third question. Similar vein, similar vein.

 

Do you want it easy? Do you want it easy? That's life that is. No stress, no worry, no effort. You're just gonna be happy.

 

This is what life's about. Doing nothing with no stress, no worry, no push, no pull. Imagine what that looks like.

 

You know, dream on. Because that's all you'll be doing. But we'll get into that, we'll get into that.

 

Or, do you want to struggle? Do you want to struggle? Do you want to fight? Do you want to fight for your dreams? Do you want to fight for what you want? What you haven't got yet? What you're going for? Now what does that look like when you're really fighting every moment of the day for what you want in life? Now those two came from Simon Sinek, another great guy. Another guy who poses great questions. And I heard both of those because give credit where it's really due.

 

A guy called Chris from Modern Wisdom, the Modern Wisdom podcast. He has brilliant guests who ask brilliant questions. And they spurred me on because I thought to myself, you know, why don't you achieve success? Because you've got these four different ways.

 

You can simply just settle for what you've got. Or you can move mountains. Or you can just have it easy, set the bar low.

 

Or you can struggle, set the bar really high. The thing is, some may say that you don't even have a choice. But you do.
