What Can Be the Biggest Obstacle to Your Growth?

You have been making sincere efforts to achieve big growth, but you falter along your way. The reasons can be varied, but the fact remains that you are not able to achieve the goals or sub-goals you have set. You get stuck. The roughness of your failure has bruised your mind. So, you are no longer in the mood to move forward. You now feel that your failure is an ominous indication showing that you are facing an insurmountable obstacle to your growth. Is this situation real, or can you move ahead despite the failure that hit you hard? The answer is: Yes. This situation may be real, but it is not insurmountable. This means you can return gallantly to the path that will take you towards your goal.


The main point to understand is that if you do not learn to bounce back after a setback, you will never achieve the growth you are aiming for. Not being able to bounce back is the biggest obstacle, and it is much bigger than all other hurdles you have faced or may face during your growth journey. The question now is: How can you learn to bounce back when you face failures? Please read on.

1. Change your attitude.

Yes. You have failed, and your efforts have not borne fruit. So what? That is not the end of the world. You can always replace your strategies with fresh and innovative ones. As James Altucher puts it, there may be more than 10 ways to do a task. Apply your mind and find out if there are other strategies or ways to do your tasks. Be ready to replace the ones that do not work. 

2. Be flexible. 

Only if you are flexible, can you bounce back and replace those ways that have not helped you with fresh ones. If you are rigid and continue with the same ideas, you can never achieve the growth you have set your eyes on.

3. Be accountable to yourself. 

Never blame others for your failures or the hurdles you face. They are your own making. Blaming others or the situations can be easy. But if you do not change your habit of blaming others or situations, you will never realize what mistakes or errors you are committing. Once you make up your mind to be accountable to yourself, your mistakes will be clearly visible to you. You can then make appropriate corrections and tide over the situation.

4. Be positive-minded.

Failures can rob your optimism. But if you view failures as learning experiences, you can benefit a lot. Further, opportunities may come in the guise of failures. You should delve deep to find those opportunities. Have you not heard the story of the railway employee who was dismissed by the employers and who went on to launch and grow a financial behemoth? So, slow down and take stock of the situation. View things with a positive mindset to discover the opportunities that may remain hidden beneath your failures.

5. Always be ready to face obstacles.

As a person who aspires to achieve huge growth, you may have put in place systems and processes. But never forget the fact that no system or process is foolproof. There may be hurdles, however careful you are while undertaking your growth journey. So, be ready to face obstacles. Only if you are resilient can you overcome them. 

6. Always have backup plans. 

Never forget the proverbial saying that putting all your eggs in a single basket can be a perilous move. Be ready to do your research. Try to learn to use the latest tools so that you can save time and energy. You should never stop learning. Learning at every step will keep your enthusiasm and motivation levels high. Having a learning mindset will help you discard garrulous plans and choose worthy ones.

By keeping these tips in mind, you can easily bounce back from any situation, however insurmountable it may appear, and achieve the growth you have been aiming for.
