Why you won’t achieve success
I believe you deserve a truthful truth about why you won’t achieve success you want in your life. I base this post on my personal experience and the example of people who write to me and try to start their business on Amazon. I have many trainees who start an adventure with Amazon based on my Product24 course, and many of them see the same problem I saw at home a few years ago. What is this problem? What makes us fail in life?
1 reason why YOU WON’T ACHIEVE SUCCESS in life — do you start something? Finish it.
This is the main reason why most people who try to achieve something ultimately fail, why they, including you won’t achieve success. Everything you want is beyond your comfort zone. Don’t delude yourself that it’s different. No motivation video on YouTube will cross your comfort zone or overcome the fear of failure for you. If you start creating a business, you change your life. Maybe by creating a relationship, or maybe starting reading a new book or doing an Internet course.
No matter what it is. When you start a project, how often do you stop in the middle of it and fail to see it through to completion? Think about it and answer yourself honestly? How many times do you put a book back on the shelf halfway through reading it and look for another better one? How many times has a cool idea been born in your head and maybe even you did something about it, but very quickly your fear of failure and the conviction that it wouldn’t work anyway took over?
Example of Amazon and my course’s participants
A lot of people who start business on Amazon with my course have the same problem. My students are given step by step knowledge of how to go through the process and what steps to take. I noticed that some are already in a lost position when buying an online course — why is that?
Some of the course participants know they’re barking up the wrong tree the moment they make the purchase. They’re hunting for excuses right off the bat to justify their future flop. Often, when we’re about to start something new, fear creeps into our minds and we start looking for excuses not to take action.
How else can you explain folks who throw in the towel during the first steps of registration on platforms for product publishing, just because they didn’t get a verification email or they don’t understand some things in English, when they could translate it with Google Translate in a jiffy?
How can we talk about success here, when so many people give up right at the start with simple tasks? I’ve been noticing such behaviors in people around me for a long time, and unfortunately in myself too, but now that I know this mechanism, I can fight it.
Why YOU WON’T ACHIEVE SUCCESS in life? Are you a passive person?
Once upon a time, I was sitting on my butt, waiting for a miracle to happen. I was stuck in a rut and didn’t know what to do. But it was only when I took action and dedicated myself to one thing at a time that my life really turned around. You can’t wave the white flag at the first sign of trouble — it’s always going to be part of your life. No matter if it’s running a business on Amazon, working a nine-to-five job, studying or snagging a cool partner. Don’t wait, just act.
My life changed when I decided not to give up and created my products on Amazon. The beginnings were tough as nails, but months of hard graft, slip-ups, and frustration have led me to where I’m standing now. I’ve secured myself a nice passive income from Amazon, which has taken a load off my mind. Gaining self-confidence allowed me to create my very personal blog, teach others how to do the same, and overcome subsequent challenges—especially in my own head.
Too many options lead to no action
We live in times where we have a ton of choices in everything. This makes us often not act at all. Decide what you want to achieve and stick to your guns for a while—say, for a year. Don’t let yourself be thrown off balance and distracted. If you want to publish 10 books on Amazon, then focus on that and don’t do anything else for half a year. If you’re working or studying, dedicate a few evenings a week just for your chosen goal. Take your time and each day, slowly but surely, inch towards your goal.
Don’t go chasing after shiny new opportunities, because you’ll stop pursuing your previous goals. There’s no such thing as perfect ideas that bring results right off the bat. A business idea is just 1% of success — the rest is all about smart strategy execution and action. I kicked off my Amazon adventure by scoring my first wins thanks to focusing on one topic for a long time and the knowledge that guided me step by step.

1 reason WHY YOU WON’T ACHIEVE SUCCESS in life
1
00:00:00,157 –> 00:00:03,086
Hi, I’m Tomek.
From Waiter To Millionaire.
2
00:00:03,087 –> 00:00:08,429
Today I’ll tell you about one reason
why you won’t achieve success in life.
3
00:00:08,430 –> 00:00:13,129
It doesn’t matter if it’s a success
in business, in relationships,
4
00:00:13,130 –> 00:00:16,000
at work, at school – just in life.
5
00:00:16,040 –> 00:00:22,359
It’s about all aspects of life, because
you should treat these aspects as a whole.
6
00:00:22,360 –> 00:00:25,199
The principle is the same in all of them.
7
00:00:25,200 –> 00:00:30,486
When it comes to this reason
which causes your failure in life
8
00:00:30,487 –> 00:00:35,029
on many levels,
which I’ll enumerate in a sec,
9
00:00:35,030 –> 00:00:37,957
I’ll speak from my experience.
10
00:00:37,958 –> 00:00:42,371
That’s because
I failed many times in my life.
11
00:00:42,372 –> 00:00:48,680
So, it’ll be based on my example
and the example of my students
12
00:00:48,680 –> 00:00:53,040
who go through my Amazon courses.
13
00:00:53,040 –> 00:00:57,700
What’s the reason
why you won’t succeed in life
14
00:00:57,701 –> 00:01:02,799
and won’t achieve your goals,
both minor and major ones?
15
00:01:02,800 –> 00:01:08,879
The reason is –
if you start something, finish it.
16
00:01:08,880 –> 00:01:11,500
The reason is very simple.
17
00:01:11,501 –> 00:01:16,014
If you start some project,
an online course, a book,
18
00:01:16,015 –> 00:01:22,814
then finish it, do what you have to do
and don’t let go, don’t give up.
19
00:01:22,815 –> 00:01:27,514
If you start reading a book,
let’s say a business book,
20
00:01:27,515 –> 00:01:31,686
you want to develop
and halfway through the book you stop
21
00:01:31,687 –> 00:01:34,714
and look for another,
more interesting one.
22
00:01:34,715 –> 00:01:39,229
Or you start an online course,
work through the lectures, watch
23
00:01:39,230 –> 00:01:42,529
and you don’t do anything,
just letting it go.
24
00:01:42,530 –> 00:01:49,143
You go to work, change it for another one,
hoping that you’ll earn more there,
25
00:01:49,144 –> 00:01:51,029
but it does not happen.
26
00:01:51,030 –> 00:01:54,529
Sometimes the same case
may be in relationships,
27
00:01:54,530 –> 00:01:58,128
that you always look for
the perfect relationship
28
00:01:58,129 –> 00:02:00,199
instead of focusing on one.
29
00:02:00,200 –> 00:02:05,029
It can be compared to many things,
but I’m speaking from experience,
30
00:02:05,030 –> 00:02:08,914
because I failed many times,
I was constantly changing
31
00:02:08,915 –> 00:02:12,400
aspects of my life
and looked for an ideal place.
32
00:02:12,401 –> 00:02:17,442
Only when I pulled myself together
and started focusing on one thing,
33
00:02:17,443 –> 00:02:19,429
had I found this place.
34
00:02:19,430 –> 00:02:23,386
I’ll also say a bit about
the experience of my students
35
00:02:23,387 –> 00:02:26,314
whom I teach how to sell on Amazon.
36
00:02:26,315 –> 00:02:30,086
The idea for this video
came from my observation.
37
00:02:30,087 –> 00:02:33,600
I noticed that many people
have bought my courses
38
00:02:33,600 –> 00:02:37,800
and they go through these courses,
release their products,
39
00:02:37,801 –> 00:02:42,199
but some of them –
luckily, the minority –
40
00:02:42,200 –> 00:02:49,385
after buying the course
give up very easily at the very start.
41
00:02:49,386 –> 00:02:53,786
They turn on the first lessons
and let go,
42
00:02:53,787 –> 00:02:57,229
giving up when
encountering the first problems.
43
00:02:57,230 –> 00:03:01,529
Like, when they
need to create an account
44
00:03:01,530 –> 00:03:05,871
or when they don’t receive
the verification email.
45
00:03:05,872 –> 00:03:11,529
That’s what happens if you
don’t learn to finish what you started.
46
00:03:11,530 –> 00:03:15,119
So, if you start a book
and don’t read to the end
47
00:03:15,120 –> 00:03:19,470
or if you buy an online course,
which requires months of work
48
00:03:19,471 –> 00:03:23,557
and you give up after one month,
as you don’t have results.
49
00:03:23,558 –> 00:03:27,914
Nobody has results after
one month of work, no matter what.
50
00:03:27,915 –> 00:03:32,886
Whether it’s publishing books,
working on gym, doing sports, day job –
51
00:03:32,887 –> 00:03:36,414
you won’t achieve results after one month.
52
00:03:36,415 –> 00:03:42,400
However, if you will finish things –
basing on my students’ experience –
53
00:03:42,401 –> 00:03:48,756
and sacrifice a few months, half a year
for finishing what you started,
54
00:03:48,757 –> 00:03:54,599
bringing the whole project to completion,
then you’ll get the results.
55
00:03:54,600 –> 00:03:57,571
If you don’t, you won’t get results.
56
00:03:57,572 –> 00:04:01,299
Remember that
you can’t be a reactive person,
57
00:04:01,300 –> 00:04:04,386
you can’t submit to all the impulses.
58
00:04:04,387 –> 00:04:07,799
Should you reach for
something new and fun? No.
59
00:04:07,800 –> 00:04:13,519
If you have decided upon something,
like, releasing your products online,
60
00:04:13,520 –> 00:04:16,679
then stick to it
for a few months or a year.
61
00:04:16,680 –> 00:04:22,329
Devote a few evenings a week
after your day job or school and do it.
62
00:04:22,330 –> 00:04:26,586
Nothing brings results right away.
63
00:04:26,587 –> 00:04:31,429
Only months and years of work
can turn into great results.
64
00:04:31,430 –> 00:04:34,871
You’re often very close,
but ultimately give up,
65
00:04:34,872 –> 00:04:38,885
because you get interested in
something amazing and new.
66
00:04:38,886 –> 00:04:41,686
No. The key to success is not giving up.
67
00:04:41,687 –> 00:04:46,229
Everyone has plenty of ideas,
but the idea is just 1% of success.
68
00:04:46,230 –> 00:04:48,871
The remaining 99% is execution.
69
00:04:48,872 –> 00:04:52,686
That’s why so few people
achieve something in life –
70
00:04:52,687 –> 00:04:56,771
they give up their business,
change jobs and way of life.
71
00:04:56,772 –> 00:05:01,257
After many failures
in various jobs and in business,
72
00:05:01,258 –> 00:05:05,159
I finally focused on one thing.
73
00:05:05,160 –> 00:05:08,714
I buckled down
on the topic of Amazon
74
00:05:08,715 –> 00:05:11,760
and I’ve been developing it for years.
75
00:05:11,760 –> 00:05:17,014
It took me months of work and failures
to start achieving first successes
76
00:05:17,015 –> 00:05:21,729
and create my book,
which was an Amazon Kindle bestseller.
77
00:05:21,730 –> 00:05:24,357
So, it didn’t happen out of the blue.
78
00:05:24,358 –> 00:05:29,213
It was preceded by many months
of work, investments and failures.
79
00:05:29,214 –> 00:05:34,300
If I had given up after 3 months,
I wouldn’t have had anything out of it.
80
00:05:34,329 –> 00:05:37,186
It took me some time
to get best results
81
00:05:37,187 –> 00:05:40,686
and a whole year
to start releasing many products.
82
00:05:40,687 –> 00:05:42,857
Now, I have more than 550.
83
00:05:42,858 –> 00:05:48,457
It took a lot of learning, many failures
and frustrations, but I didn’t give up
84
00:05:48,458 –> 00:05:51,800
and I didn’t search for
another amazing thing.
85
00:05:51,801 –> 00:05:56,640
Which is hard nowadays,
as there are many opportunities.
86
00:05:56,641 –> 00:06:01,200
That’s why it’s so easy to get distracted,
start something new
87
00:06:01,201 –> 00:06:03,771
and, in fact, complete nothing.
88
00:06:03,772 –> 00:06:08,200
Remember – the basic principle is
to finish what you started.
89
00:06:08,201 –> 00:06:12,371
If you finish small things,
like reading a book,
90
00:06:12,372 –> 00:06:15,959
it’s such little things
that your life consists of.
91
00:06:15,960 –> 00:06:19,443
If you learn to
make a habit of completing things,
92
00:06:19,444 –> 00:06:23,839
not leaving them open,
then it would reflect in bigger matters.
93
00:06:23,840 –> 00:06:29,900
If you devote to some project,
like the kind of business I’m teaching,
94
00:06:29,901 –> 00:06:34,299
then you can get big results
in a few months or years.
95
00:06:34,300 –> 00:06:38,171
Remember that you won’t achieve
anything in one month.
96
00:06:38,172 –> 00:06:43,614
Only the persistent ones get
what they want and others just give up.
97
00:06:43,615 –> 00:06:48,642
Be persistent, act, don’t give up,
finish what you started –
98
00:06:48,643 –> 00:06:50,771
that’s the key to success.
99
00:06:50,772 –> 00:06:55,771
Greetings from Kraków and Vistula river,
where I’ll continue my trip.
100
00:06:57,880 –> 00:07:02,343
See how cool Vistula looks like.
