Why Life Sometimes Seems Against You 7

1. No goal. You don't what your goal is? It doesn't have to be the goal. Just a goal. Goals help with focus in tricky times.
2. No plan. You hate planning? More of us do than you might think; it doesn't need to be complex: some actions and some dates; that will pull you out of confusion rapidly.
3. No motivation. It rarely 'just comes'. It needs to to be kick-started by taking a first step: that's why a goal and a plan are so handy.
4. Misconception: someone said it was going to be easy and you are disappointed it isn't. Simple. They didn't know what they were talking about. 
5. Constant failure. Nope, constant feed-back. 67 rejections for your manuscript is nothing. Double your rate of submissions.
6. Never any money. You need a money plan. Yep, planning is a theme.
7. Results slow and late to come. Start earlier; work faster. They will absolutely definitely arrive.
