I sold my first business when I was 21. It was a subscription service delivering tiny potted cacti equipped with Bluetooth speakers that played pre-recorded affirmations. It went flamethrower viral. I sold it for 8 million billion dollars. Now I help other energetic entrepreneurs 10x their own startups and lives. On the side, I am a charity worker, best-selling author, a priest, a kung fu instructor, and a chef in my own Michelin-star bakery where we sell premium healthy bagels to people who have low self-esteem but don’t quite realize it. They flock to our EASS (expensive as shit shop), not for the carbs, but for the privilege of Instagramming themselves into a moment of fleeting superiority. Want to know how I manage to do all of this? Take a seat.
How old are you?
18? 25? 37? 49? 63?
How much money are you making?
Hold on, don’t answer that. Let me guess…
Not enough.
I don’t really get it. Why are you still unsuccessful?
Why are you still not making six figures? No, scratch that – thanks to inflation, six figures barely buys you a Netflix subscription and half a tank of gas these days. Why are you not pulling in seven figures a month yet?
The online world is booming with advice on how to make it big. How to crawl out from under the suffocating layers of mediocrity and climb to the peak of greatness – just like those totally trustworthy dudes and chicks that sell success-in-a-bottle on social media.
Which part of their overhyped, self-congratulatory monolog you didn’t get?
The part where…
- You should crave success so badly it keeps you up at night?
- You absolutely must have a social media presence on every possible channel?
- You should journal your deepest thoughts precisely at 5 AM while drinking organic mushroom tea hand-delivered by a shaman riding a unicycle?
- You need to work on your business, not in your business?
- Your business needs to be scalable – because selling homemade dog sweaters from your basement is cute, but not exactly IPO material?
- You need to surround yourself with other successful people who talk about success as is this medieval relic, forged by dragons and hung on a gold chain to ward off the poor?
On a more serious note, there are plenty of reasons why you are still unsuccessful – we’ll look at them below.
But there is usually one main reason that can catapult you to the crowning glory you’re frantically striving for.
What’s that, you ask?
Having a proper answer to the following question: What are you doing daily to improve your tomorrow?
Before you answer, here’s the tricky part: You’re not allowed to list things you consume (i.e., I read books, I listen to podcasts, I purchased equipment, I’m browsing through review videos to get the best mattress so I can improve my sleep score with 3%, I follow all the gurus on all the social media platforms, I watch videos online about investing and meditation), but instead, list a couple of things that you do every single day (i.e., I write, I work out, I practice what I’ve learned, I monitor my spendings, I aggressively defend my time from time-wasting activities, I reflect on my day and adjust my approach for tomorrow, I work on my art, I visit meetups and talk with real people in my field with the intention to build relationships).
Do you find that difficult?
Of course you do. You’re human. A human trapped in the online world, where short-form stimuli – in the form of bite-sized clips, half-naked bodies, change your life videos, ridiculously bizarre products you don’t need but desperately want, etc. – are all flying towards you from all directions.
You want to be successful like the overly enthusiastic video people you see every day, but you also don’t want to completely shut off pleasure.
That’s why most of your time is spent mindlessly consuming feel-good distractions, not doing something actually productive. And as you can guess, that’s the key difference between making it and simply wishing to make it.
And that’s just part of the problem.
In this post, I’m going to discuss my observations in relation to why people keep failing in life – despite the endless flood of content available about how to make it.
7 Reasons Why You Are Not Successful
#1: You Spent Way Too Much Time Watching Others
Let’s look at some statistics in relation to how people manage their time:
According to Average Screen Time Statistics for 2024, the number one activity of the average American is… you’ve probably guessed it… spending time on social media (around 143 minutes a day). That’s closely followed by watching Netflix, then you know, doing literally anything else – if there is time.
In recent years, two main things completely reshaped our habitat:
- The internet.
- The available things to do/buy on the internet.
Before the online world became mainstream, there was a limit on the things you could buy and a limit on the things you could do as a whole.
We’ve all heard stories about “before the internet” – some of us even remember these glorious times (like me).
“Oh, it was so cute and awesome. We were all hanging together and doing things. Now we just doom scroll until we’re emotionally drained.”
While this may sound like a cliché by now, it is true.
When I was younger and my phone was just a phone (you know, for calling people), I was mostly out with my friends. Now, I don’t have that same pull to get outdoors. Things have shifted. We make plans to go out, but then we are dying for the other person to cancel so we can stay home and scroll through more material about becoming great.
There are zetabytes of data just sitting there, waiting to be found and digested.
And while we are all consuming digital pixels of some sort, it’s far more complicated.
The amount of data available online is shape-shifted into an attention-grabbing script that is designed to hijack your attention and leave you begging for more.
But it’s even more than that.
Since you secretly crave to get rich, you probably get a particular type of content online. A type of content from people who are already rich and famous.
But since I want to be rich and admired by the masses. I should have the capacity to withstand the distracting websites and focus on my thing. Why I am unable to do so?
There are a couple of reasons. But let’s focus on the most important aspect: The content you consume online gives you the sensation that you are rich and famous, without actually making you a person with money in the bank.
The scientific term of this is known as vicarious experience.1
Here’s an example of how things play out…
It’s Wednesday night. Not that the day matters – your routine is pretty much the same for each day of the week. So, after you get home and feed the cat so it doesn’t turn into a tiny furry distracting demon, you park yourself on the couch where you willingly submit to the brainwashing of inspirational videos about people who are pursuing their dreams and achieving greatness. And while you’re watching, you feel like you’ve accomplished something yourself, except that you’ve just eaten yesterday’s leftover pizza and spent 68 minutes clicking next video.
Here’s the gist of the vicarious experience phenomenon: Most of your time is spent in this illusion of glory – observing how others share their success, which makes you feel like you’ve achieved something yourself when, in reality, you’ve done absolutely nothing.
And the cold, hard truth about all of the above is the following: The more you get carried away in this type of living, the more your brain gets hooked on the feeling of achievement without doing the work. The more you watch how others are successful, the less you actually create your own.
“But I really want to be successful,” you shout in front of your screen, now slightly irritated. “I watch these people so I can learn from them and apply their wisdom in relation to my thing.”
But what exactly is your thing?
Do you even know?
#2: You Don’t Really Know What You Want To Do
In the midst of countless opportunities, you would think that we should all know exactly what we want to do with our lives, right?
Not really.
We, the modern people, suffer from a type of delirium that’s initially hard to grasp.
You see all the available opportunities laid out in front of you. The things you could do. The things you could become. But you have no idea what the hell you actually want to turn into.
- Should I focus on graduating from school?
- Should I focus on getting the best in what I do in my job?
- Should I start a YouTube channel?
- Should I start a startup?
- Should I become a writer?
Each new option that pops up only makes the decision more terrifying. The more choices you have, the less sure you become about any of them.
If I choose to become a writer, that means I’m also choosing not to focus on excelling in my job. But if I excel at my job, then am I just a cog in a machine, forever wondering what could have been…
Okay, fine. Let’s say that I decide that writing is going to be the thing that will catapult my lazy ass into the stratosphere of riches. Great, now what?
Well, that opens up a new black hole of hard to answer questions:
- What should I write about?
- Am I even a good writer?
- Will people pay attention to what I write about?
- Even more importantly… will people pay me money to read my stuff?
The more I think about all of these questions, the more I want to stop thinking about them and return to the life of watching others chase their dreams. My enthusiasm to be someone and to do something worthy with my life dissolves and gets erased by a wave of memes and funny videos.
And deep down, even if you couldn’t yet wrap it into words, there is a particular joy in never deciding what your vocation should be. Because if you do decide and if you do start to pursue your thing, if you fail to make it big, the crushing weight of failure is just waiting to annihilate your spirit.
By never deciding what you want to do and simply dreaming about an alternative life, you’re protecting yourself from the hardship that will come from not making it. It’s like an unconscious self-preservation mechanism. Why risk the pain of failure when you can stay in the fantasy land of what could be?
But don’t worry; it’s not entirely your fault that you stay in the dreamland of indecision.
The people around you contribute to your ongoing failure because…
#3: You Are Surrounded by Mostly Average People
Let’s be real for a minute. Your friends probably suck. But that’s because you suck, too.
I know, that’s not what you want to hear from an online stranger on the internet.
“You are a jerk. My friends are awesome. How dare you talk to me like that?”
These are all standard maneuvers from a person who is clearly failing in life.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not exactly living in the fast lane of success myself.
I, too, have a pretty decent history of sabotaging myself and not making it big.
The point here is to recognize how we are deceiving ourselves and how the people around us contribute to our lack of advancement.
Can you share?
Let me go first…
In my social circle, it’s not expected for anyone to make it. The expectations are to consume a lot of goods, and if anyone ever dares to try to do something different and fails, he has full rights to bitch about it and blame others.
But I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in this. I think this is a global phenomenon.
Here’s how a typical get-together looks like:
After a quick exchange of what are the latest products you and your friends bought – the classic case of attempting to establish dominance through showcasing your material possessions. Someone will shift the conversation towards something like…
- “My boss is a dick for not giving me a raise!”
- To this, your sorry-ass friends will enthusiastically respond: “Yeah, bro. He is a total ass!”
Or maybe it’s a romantic disaster:
- “Lisa dumped me, she’s such a (insert profanity).”
- “Yeah bro, she doesn’t deserve you! You’re awesome!”
Or an ongoing bad habit due to lack of self-discipline reasoned by something else…
- “I lost 50 pounds, but then gained them back because I’m currently going through an emotional problem with my mom due to living in her basement after getting fired from my job. But, hey, I’ll totally start exercising again next year once I finish this online course on how to manifest my dream body.”
- “Yeah bro, that’s totally understandable.”
Or a sad story about starting a business…
- “I tried becoming successful on YouTube but the market is just so saturated with clickbait content. The algorithm can’t seem to find and recommend my totally unique point of view.”
- “Yeah, screw the algorithm. Your content is so uniquely unique, bro!”
See the pattern?
Since you don’t want to be judged, you’ve carefully crafted a social circle where mediocrity is the baseline.
You’ve made a silent pact where no one dares to call out the absurdity of one another’s failure. No matter how bizarre the reasons your friends are giving for their inability to make it past average, you should support them and be on their side.
Therefore, you…
- Never tell your friend with the horrible boss to look for another job or gain new skills because that would imply you don’t believe that your friend deserves a raise or possesses valuable skills.
- Never question the logic of your fat friend who’s constantly giving excuses about his weight, because you don’t want to hurt his feelings.
- Never tell your friend his YouTube videos are boring as hell because, well, who wants to be that guy?
In our social group, we consider it wrong to tell the truth to our friends because we don’t want to upset them. But by not upsetting them, we simply let them keep failing – which also stands for us, too.
Because what happens if a friend dares to tell what he’s really thinking?
What happens if a friend tells us that we should probably get a real job and stop relying on our parents for giving us money for going on vacation? Or when they call out our constant excuses for our oval shape?
We shut them off.
We delete their number.
We unfollow them on social media.
Then we go find “real” friends who won’t judge our statements and are supportive no matter how absurd our reasons are for buying more crap on sale.
All of this happens because…
#4 You Constantly Crave Acceptance from Everybody
We all want to get validation from the people around us. But when you’re surrounded by mediocrity, this destroys your daily routine and keeps you stuck in the mud of defeat because…
- You probably smoke because your friends smoke.
- You probably don’t invest because your friends don’t invest.
- You probably stockpile random gadgets and trendy junk because your friends do too, and you’re all trying to win the battle of who-has-more-unopened-amazon-boxes.
- You probably can’t afford your car, but that’s okay because your friends can’t either.
- You probably can’t bend down to tie your shoes due to your belly, but that’s fine because in your country, it’s considered normal to be fat when you get married and have kids.
The standards you set for yourself are heavily influenced by the people you hang out with. If it’s normal to be average when you’re among your friends, then guess what? Unless you somehow manage to conjure a vast amount of willpower, you’ll sink comfortably into the sludge of “normalcy,” sipping on your soda of choice while scrolling TikTok for another hit of dopamine.
I’m personally amazed by how low the bar is set for everything.
From my perspective, emerging from the murky waters of mediocrity doesn’t require legendary strength. The formula is brutally simple:
- Limit consumption.
- Prioritize doing.
- Avoid comparison.
Here’s a quick example: Instead of watching the latest Netflix show like everyone else in your office, you use the time to learn a new coding language. While doing this, you don’t constantly check what others are doing. You focus on your own priorities.
But let’s not make this sound like it’s easy. It’s hard.
It’s hard because everyone is a pro consumer these days, eager to show off their latest unboxing experience. And because we don’t want to be the weirdo who is still reading physical books and taking long walks without documenting them on Instagram, we panic-buy-consume whatever’s currently trending to keep up with the latest fashion.
Almost all the conversations I have with others revolve around discussing popular shows/items or exchanging dull memes and videos.
For example, at some point in a chat, someone will say, “Hey, have you watched (the latest trending show), it’s amazing!” To this, almost everyone present will tremble with delight and start to express their childish excitement, as if they had just seen Santa sliding down in the clouds.
Based on my observations, individuals exhibit a pathetically desperate need to fit in. They gleefully sacrifice their own desires, all for the fleeting warmth of a nod or a half-hearted “you’re cool” from the people around them.
People smoke, drink, spend, and watch all available shows streaming only to feel like they are part of a group.
They don’t bother setting their own standards or chasing their dreams because this will mean going against the cultural norms. Instead, they mold their lives around receiving an occasional thumbs-up emoji. They spiral into a validation vortex – a relentless cycle of self-sabotage, powered by the insatiable need for others to tell them they matter.
And this is because…
#5 You Can’t Manage Your Impulses
While I was writing his piece, I had about 37 different thoughts urging me to do literally anything els.
Things like:
- Go have something to eat.
- Go check social media.
- Go finish that YouTube video you started this morning.
- Go check that email you received yesterday.
- Go look at your site stats.
- Go play with your kid, you’re a bad father.
This isn’t a rare occurrence. It’s what happens every single time I do something that doesn’t hand me instant gratification on a silver platter.
Sometimes, I manage to resist. But a lot of times, I gave in.
It starts out simple: I tell myself that I’ll “just check this article.” Thirty-five minutes later, I’m knee-deep in a YouTube rabbit hole, watching someone confess about a weird personal experience, with seven more tabs open on completely unrelated topics.
And I happen to be the type of person who knows a lot about human psychology. And even more interestingly, I’m the type of person who is fully aware that a “quick” detour into the digital abyss usually ruins my writing flow.
But does this acquired self-awareness save me from the pit of distraction?
Not even a little.
It’s like clockwork.
I start writing, and every time I get stuck, my mind immediately prompts me to do something that doesn’t require brain power. Most of the time, I fight it. But let’s not pretend I’m immune to distraction. Actually, while writing this piece, I was researching the word clout – related to the above point. A simple dictionary lookup snowballed into listening to “Clout” by Offset and Cardi B. Fast forward ten minutes, and I’m on the Migos YouTube channel watching their collection of videos.
Managing your impulses is the hardest problem in life.
We actually know this, but yet again, we fail to follow through.
You know that you should avoid sugar, visit the gym and work on that book project in your spare moment. But do you?
Of course not. Because the chocolate cake is irresistibly delicious, going to the gym is hard work, and sitting to write after a long day at the office is mission impossible when there is a new show streaming on Netflix.
Your mind, that sneaky saboteur, is constantly nudging you toward the path of least resistance. And since the world is now full of comfortable choices, it’s no wonder you surrender.
Even when I eliminate the temptations – keep my house sugar-free, install a browser extension that blocks my YouTube feed, and maybe even cover myself in bubble wrap to avoid distractions – I still manage to degrade myself. I find new, creative ways to sink into unproductive chaos.
But it’s more than that. The problem isn’t just that we can’t manage our impulses. It’s also because the world is practically flooded with an endless parade of easy, feel-good distractions. There are so many tempting ways to feel good right now, that our brain just can’t seem to justify involving ourselves in something that requires effort.
But what if you dive into full-on hustle mode?
Maybe you stumble upon some Oscar-nominated YouTube personalities and feel a sudden surge of inspiration. For a moment, you’re fired up, ready to conquer the world galaxy. Will this newfound energy help you achieve your goals?
No, because when the motivation disappears, so will your action plan.
#6 You Create Unsustainable Routines
I’ve been there more times than I’d like to admit.
I overdose on motivational clips, which results in the creation of a sophisticated training system that I later abandon because it’s unsustainable in the long run.
To picture this better, let me tell you a recent experience. The story of Mark.
Starting a diet was always on Mark’s New Year’s resolution list. Year after year, he was “swearing” that this year he’ll get fit. Well, in 2022, he actually got fit. He lost over 35 pounds in less than a month. I was stunned when I saw him because the last time I saw him, just weeks before, he was drowning in baggy sweatpants. Now? He was rocking brand-new skinny jeans.
“Dude, what the hell!” I exhilarated. “I’m proud of you! How did you manage to lose that much weight?”
As soon as he started telling his story, I knew he’d be back to his original weight soon. Not that I wanted it to happen, but it just seemed inevitable because…
What Mark did was difficult, and at the same time, pretty damn stupid. He told me his “secret” was fasting. He was on water for nearly half the week. The other half, he was eating salads and protein shakes. Plus, he was tracking everything he ate and hitting the gym every morning at 6 AM. I asked him how he planned to sustain this lifestyle. As a young parent, I was skeptical that he could balance caring for his kid, working a full-time job, and still manage to hit the gym daily.
He wasn’t thinking about sustainability. He explained that he’d “gotten used to this way of living” and planned to lose another 15 pounds by the end of the next month. I didn’t push. I simply mentioned that the best strategy was to create a daily routine that could be sustained for the long haul. He started quoting numbers from health articles about how many calories the body actually needs to function. I said, “Okay,” and we moved on to another topic.
Mark did good. He was losing even more weight and looking fitter. I was genuinely excited for him.
Then we lost touch for several months. When I saw him again, about half a year later, he was back to his original weight – or probably worse. “What happened?” I asked surprised. “You know, I got caught up in the idea of perfection. I thought I could push myself to do everything, all at once. Fast, gym, tracking, the whole routine. But after a while, it was just too much.” He paused, almost as if he was still processing it himself. “I was exhausted, both physically and mentally. The motivation wore off.”
The problem with creating unsustainable routines is far bigger than you’d think. I see it all the time.
And to be honest, I don’t even have the energy to try to prove my point anymore. I don’t see any reason to argue. When people dive into impossible-to-maintain diets, they don’t think about the day when the gym sessions will feel like a burden. I get it. They are in the zone. They are motivated. They are getting that sweet, instant feedback – the lost weight, the compliments from coworkers, the thrill of buying clothes two sizes smaller than last season. It’s surely progress, but they don’t see the crash coming.
As a person who failed many times when forming new habits, I now believe that it’s best to have a mediocre daily routine that I can sustain for years instead of a perfect one that I can only keep doing for a couple of months at best.
For example, I don’t go to the gym – not because I don’t want to, but because a single gym session takes nearly three hours (commuting, getting dressed, working out, returning), compared to working out at home for 30 minutes.
This doesn’t mean I don’t have flaws or that I’ve found the optimal way to live my life. I’ve just realized that by striving for the “perfect” routine, you’re setting yourself up for a lifestyle full of unproductive habits and endless distractions, because eventually, fatigue will catch up to you, and all that idealism will crumble into exhaustion and excuses.
And that’s not even the worst reason for being stuck in the meh zone.
#7 You’re Not Really Useful
Okay, you’ve decided to start a blog. Or an online store. Or write a book. Or maybe share your random musings about life on your freshly created TikTok channel, hoping the majority of the unproductive population (which is a huge portion) will enthusiastically subscribe and thus contribute to your glorious fame.
If you’re at that stage, then consider the following tip: be damn useful.
Most people exist and think that their mere existence in the world is enough to get others to care and pay attention. To be fair here, this sadly works in our consumer-centered society.
It’s tragic because we have a ton of celebrities getting attention just for being… well, celebrities. Which is why the term famous for being famous even exists.
But let’s get real, you are not Brooklyn Beckham (eldest son of football legend David Beckham) or Kourtney Kardashian (a member of the Kardashian family). You’re just another random person existing in the 21st century, clueless about what you want out of life, yet at the same time dreaming of an easy detour straight to the gates of Uncle Scrooge’s vault.
Okay, fine. Maybe you found enough motivation to unglue your ass from the couch and realized that you need to do something. But simply doing something in our current age won’t cut it. You need to offer a particular type of something. Something other people want.
And what do people want?
Well, a lot of things, actually.
Clothes, gadgets, entertainment, ideas that aren’t just recycled spin-offs from the latest viral trend, and even productivity videos that ironically lead to unproductivity.
If the idea of being an entrepreneur doesn’t quite resonate with you, no problem. You can still make it big in the job market by embracing the same idea: be useful to the company you work for.
The upside here is that most of the people in your organization – in any organization for that fact – are entitled to think that just because they got hired, they are automatically worthy of recognition, promotions, and extra privileges.
“Oh, you showed up to the office on time today? Good job, bud. Here’s an extra bonus to your salary and a smile emoji :)”
No, this is not what happens in the adult world.
But as said, this can be used to your advantage.
The average person will do the bare minimum – just enough to avoid being fired. To their credit, there are a lot of companies that don’t deserve more than the bare minimum. But there are a lot of organizations that do recognize hard work and going above and beyond what’s listed in your job description.
So, instead of whining about your boss not raising your salary for doing your job, consider doing something extra. Volunteer for more work. Help out a department that is drowning in work. Become the person everyone wants to work with. Learn a new skill that will open the doors to a different department. And if none of that gets you anywhere, then it’s probably time to move on to another company.
But that mindset shift will give you that extra edge no matter what you do or who you work for.
Most of the people, not all, I’ve met in my career are simply getting by. They do the work, but do just enough to avoid getting fired.
The people who excel and constantly get promoted are rarely late. Rarely complain. To the point. Always looking for ways to improve their craft. Plus, they are useful – not just for themselves, but to the company they work for.
So, What Can You Do?
Let’s do some basic math together.
First, let’s calculate how many hours a day you’re spending consuming things made by other people (social media posts, music, podcasts, articles, books, articles about books, video games, browsing stores, sharing stupid memes, etc.).
What’s your number?
Mine is around 2 hours a day. A bit more on the weekends – probably up to 5 hours. That’s about 20 hours per week.
Next, let’s calculate how much time it will take us to get good at something.
For simplicity’s sake, let’s consider the 10,000-hour rule – the globally recognized notion that you need 10,000 hours to become a sort of master of a particular skill.2
So, based on my current consumption habits, it will take me approximately 9.6 years to get good at the thing I want to be good at – assuming I replace scrolling with learning and practicing.
I know, that’s a lot. Especially in an era where you get annoyed if your online order isn’t delivered in less than 24 hours.
Well, I have good news and bad news for you.
The good news is that more than 90% of the people will quit after the first signs of adversity and never go back. Meaning that if you keep going, you’ll have a greater chance of being recognized as an expert in your field of choice.
The bad news? There is no other option.
If you really really really want to reach the success you’re fantasizing about, you need to do something daily about it, period.
Some Closing Thoughts
I know what you’re thinking.
“But there are dozens of people online who are making it big with drop-shipping, crypto, investing, SEO and AI. You are telling me that I need to work for 10 years! Go to hell.”
I totally get you.
I, too, feel pulled towards these life-hacks shared online.
They sound so seductive. Almost irresistible.
But there is always a catch. Always!
I know because I’ve bought dozens of programs and courses over the years.
In fact, the thing that inspired me to start my first blog in the distant 2012 was a system that was supposedly going to make me a millionaire. (Still not close to earning millions, by the way.)
The get-quick-rich schemes never disappeared. They simply evolved. At first, it was blogging, then it was drop-shipping, then it was crypto, investing, and now AI.
And to be honest, all of the above can lead to richest. But the problem is always the same: lack of a long-term mindset.
Even if I were smart enough to buy Bitcoin when it was selling for a dollar, I would’ve been dumb enough to sell it when it reached $1,000.
The point I’m trying to convey here is pretty simple yet absurdly hard to practice: Doing something daily to improve your tomorrow is the only thing you need to focus on to reach the success you want to achieve. And even if you happen to progress a lot, you need to keep pushing.
The reason all is so hard is that there are tons of outside factors trying to steer you off course and subscribe you to more dopamine-heavy substances that only wants to derail your health and sell you one more subscription.
To make things even worse, there is (usually) no one to support you in your immediate surroundings because everyone is so hooked on their drug of choice (whether it’s smoking, video games, TV series, or the good old-fashioned online scrolling).
Where does this leave you?
Alone! Alone trying to figure things out and looking online for help, only to find even more get-rich-quick schemes that are impossible to not want.
So yes, that’s pretty much why you’re still not successful.
I have a lot more to say, but let’s end here.
