Pain, a useful feeling – NO FAILURE ZONE
If I were the coach of the 49’ers I would definitely be looking for a way to use the pain of losing the Super Bowl to great advantage, already looking to next season to make another run for the prize. Some people will put of their taxes because they can be a very painful experience. […]
Obstacles and Success – NO FAILURE ZONE
Think of one thing right now that you enjoy today that was previously a goal AND that you had to struggle for, perhaps overcome huge obstacles to obtain. Now what do you suppose I am looking for? Well I will tell you. Success is a pattern. And you have already just admitted that you have […]
What can you do in a decade? – NO FAILURE ZONE
My blog, I am taking liberties today. I am going to use an almost 2 decade example instead of a decade. In 2001 Elon Musk goes to Russia for a business meeting and a Russian Chief Engineer spits on him. Jump to February 2012 and SpaceX has a private valuation of $1.3B, and almost double […]
Contribution – NO FAILURE ZONE
Contribution or giving back is critical to meeting your needs, your spiritual and emotional needs. Time, resources, money, commitment. The rewards of helping others is self-evident. If you were to do just one thing for another daily, and then express the gratitude for that opportunity to serve every evening, you would be astonished by the […]
What follows Success? Call for HELP – NO FAILURE ZONE

The Purpose of Goals – NO FAILURE ZONE
The outcome of a goal is an objective or achievement. Moving towards the goal can be stretching and challenging as you encounter and overcome obstacles, setbacks, issues or opportunities along the way. We gain experience, change and grow along the way to the objective or achievement. Therefore I say the purpose of goals is to […]
1, 2, 3, 4 Here’s the Key to Open the Door – NO FAILURE ZONE
1. Hope is not a strategy. Define what it is you want with precision and certainty. When one bowls they go for the pocket to get a strike. In darts it’s going for a certain number or the bullseye. In golf it’s to put the ball in the hole. On our little pirate ship it’s […]
Setbacks and Persistence – NO FAILURE ZONE
Ships captains must watch for reefs, shallow waters, treacherous seas, storms, even pirates. Every goal and journey is going to have its own challenges. Just like a ship, and calling your conscious mind the captain, you can run aground and get stuck, you can get blown of course in a storm, your compass can fail […]
Anxiety? Regret? These are a few of my favorite things – NO FAILURE ZONE
Anxiety? Regret? You are probably saying these are definitely not my favorite things DrBill. Of course they aren’t because your brain is trained to avoid pain.
