Why “The Secret” Does Not Work

The secret does not work because the author missed the most important ingredient in the success formula. What is the most important ingredient to reach your goals? It is ACTION. It is a simple as that. If you don’t get off your butt and take action, nothing will happen in your life. You won’t make money and become a millionaire just by dreaming about making money. Winners are dreamers who take massive action. Winners do not sit all day long watching TV and hoping they will be rich one day. They take action right now to make their dreams come true. They go out there and work very hard to make something happen in their life.

Don’t get me wrong. Dreaming, planning, and setting goals are essential if you want to be successful. However, they are not the most important factor that contributes to success. Let me give you an example. Having a map of Mount Everest and the desire to climb it is the starting point if you want to climb the highest mountain in the world. However, having a map and a goal won’t make it happen for you unless you take action to make it happen. Actions make the big difference between achievers and people who don’t realize their dreams.

I had a lot of dreams when I was a kid. I remember I desperately wanted a plastic cowboy pistol I had seen in a store. I was always thinking about the toy and I went back in the store many times to look at it. However, I never took action. I did not take massive action. I dreamed and hoped, but did not act on my dream. Finally, I never got the plastic pistol I was dreaming about. On the other hand, all the dreams I decided to act on have become a reality for me. I dreamed of being part of the Army when I was a kid. I took action and signed in when I was 19, and my dream became a reality.

The lesson you must understand is that you have to take action if you want to see changes happen in your life. All people have dreams and goals. However, only a few people decide to take massive action on their goals and to never quit. Be part of the few who take massive action!
