Finally, Achieve the Success You
Deserve

Hi, I'm Kam Knight,

I’m a coach, speaker, and author of a dozen books –


some international best sellers - in the area of
human and mental performance.

I’ve spent the past 20 years of my life, traveling to


nearly 100 countries, to understand the human mind
and how to optimize its performance.

This has given me deep insights into why we do what


we do, and more importantly, why we CAN'T get
ourselves to do what it is we want MOST in life, which
you’ll learn in this guide.
Introduction

Have you ever wanted to do something, but


didn’t?
Have you ever set a goal, but didn't achieve it, let alone start?

Of course, you have...

We all have!

We all have drives and desires to start a business, write a book, travel the
world, or be a better mom or dad, but never actually get around to doing it.

As each year passes, new boxes are added to the list, but none are crossed off.
Each time a box is added, we are absolutely sure that it’s going to be checked
off, but it rarely is, if ever.

The problem is…

People confuse WANTING with HAVING

They assume that wanting something bad enough is enough to take action.

As you know, that is not the case.

As soon as a want arises, so does internal resistance, and if the resistance is


greater than your want, you can't take action!

In this guide, you'll learn what internal resistance is, why it shows up, and
how to keep it from sabotaging your success.
Step 1

Understand your brain is built to keep you


from moving forward.
That's right!

There is a part of your mind that is designed to keep you from growing and
making progress.

You see, anytime a decision or course of action stands before you, that
decision is reviewed by your mind using a host of criteria, like a check list

If the decision is not in line with the list, your mind will prevent action.

It DOESN’T matter how much motivation you have, how easy the solution is,
or how much benefit you can derive, if the mind doesn’t approve the decision,
you can’t act - period!

Think about standing before a panel of judges or board of directors

Every decision that comes up, must go through them. If even one of the
members is against the idea, it won’t pass.
There is no way around it.

I can pump you with all the motivation and solutions in the world, but none
of that will matter.

This is the first step to end procrastination and sabotage

Realizing that a part of your brain is actively working to hold you back.

So, what are the reasons the mind holds you back?

Well, that's step 2, which I discuss next…


Step 2

Learn Why the Mind Holds You Back


There are many reasons why your own mind will prevent progress.

1. Identity

Identity are characteristics that define you. It usually starts with the words I
am...

· I am studious

· I am generous

· I am a fighter

· I am stylish

· I am cool

· I am independent

We humans are designed to operate within the confines of the identity we have
formed or accepted.

That means, your brain will make it easier to do something if it is in line with
your identity, and more difficult, if it goes against that identity.

If you see yourself as studious, doing homework will come naturally. On the
other hand, if you identify as being cool, you'll have difficulty studying no
matter how hard you try.

Are you a Mac or PC?


If you identify as a Mac, you couldn’t buy a PC even if you tried. If you’re a PC,
Mac users likely annoy you to the point you would never touch a Mac - just to
not be associated with that identity.

2. Authority Issues

Another reason deals with authority issues, which relate to our unconsciously
held attitudes toward authority figures, such as parents, teachers, principals,
bosses, priests, and even personal development coaches like myself.

I am going to extend that definition to:

anyone who tells or makes you feel obligated to do something

Were parents always on your case about cleaning up?

Were teachers always nagging you to study?

If so, you may have built up so much anger and frustration towards them, it
created a resistance to taking or following any advice they gave.

What this means is…

To this day, you may unconsciously be holding resentment from years


ago towards parents, teachers, and bosses, and as a result, are unable to do
certain things in life only because they suggested it, wanted it, or forced it
upon you.

Like most forms of resistance, many of our authority issues are unconscious.
We don’t realize we formed or are holding on to them.

Most people think they are doing things because they choose or want to do
them. The reality is, their choices are a reaction AGAINST some authority
figure.
3. Habit

The most common and well know reason is habit.

Habits are designed to keep you in a routine or pattern of behavior, and in their
efforts, habits will do everything they can to ensure you stick to that routine or
behavior.

If habits didn’t, they wouldn’t be very good at what they did, now would they?

Even if a behavior is painful and downright harmful to your health, habits will
still keep you in it.

That means, if you try to do something that goes against habits, your mind will
stop you.

This is Step 2, understand the reasons the mind holds you back

Your brain goes through all of this with something as simple as moving your
arm.

This may shed light on why even the simplest acts like opening you mouth in a
meeting, turning off the television, or resisting chocolate can be so difficult.

Or why there is so much resistance to doing homework, exercise, and practice.

It’s NOT because you lack motivation or the right tools, but because your brain
- for one reason or another - is STOPPING YOU.

--> These are just a few of the reasons your mind holds you back. Dozens more
exist, but this should give you an idea of why. <--
Step 3

Be aware of the Tricks Your Mind Uses to


Sabotage Your Success
If the mind is going to hold you back, it’s not going to tell you it is!

It’s not going to say:

"Hey look man, this thing you're trying to do goes against our identity so we’re
just going to sit here and procrastinate…"

Or

"I’m going to sabotage your efforts on this task because we’re mad at mom from
15 years ago."

Nope, inaction manifests other ways.

It is important to understand the manipulative tricks your mind uses to take


you out of action and sabotage your success.

1. Busy

One of the more commonly known tricks is that you will get busy. Your
schedule will fill up with SO MANY priorities, you will not have time for the
goal.

And the busyness won’t be random.

It will be on purpose!

It will seem like you naturally have a lot to do or have a lot on your plate, but
the reality is, your brain is FINDING ways to keep you preoccupied.
You'll have an insatiable urge to clean the car, organize the closet, or build out
that new patio...in the middle of winter.

I'm sure you can relate...when you have something to do, but you can’t pull
yourself away from something far less important!

2. Forget

Another trick is the mind will make you forget.

We humans are made up of a complex set of mechanisms, and for some of


these mechanisms to do what they are designed to do, they make us forget.

I talked earlier about how habits are designed to keep you in a routine or
pattern of behavior.

Well, habits have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves to keep you in that routine
or pattern.

One of those tricks involves making you forget anything that goes against what
you have been habitually in grained to do.

Not only will you forget what to do, but you'll forget you forgot.

3. Prepare

One more trick is you’ll fall into a heightened sense of preparation.

Instead of spending your time to take action, you are spending time preparing
to taking action.

You'll go into painstaking detail researching what to do, how to do it, and the
best way.

You’ll read loads of books, watch tons of videos, and sign up for bunch of
courses.
You will even take diligent notes, re-write those notes, and arrange and
rearrange them over and over.

When it's time to act, you won't feel ready, and guess what you will do?

Prepare More!

So that’s Step 3, being aware of the tricks your mind uses to make you
procrastinate and sabotage your progress

On the surface, you wouldn’t think of them as tricks, which is why they work so
well…

And why you so easily fall for them!

If you find yourself busy, forgetting, or putting more time in preparing than
actual action, you are in resistance!

When you are aware of the tricks, you are not so easily manipulated by them.
Summary
So that’s internal resistance!

Remember, there is more to action than merely wanting to act.

Step 1:

Realize everything you do, every decision you make, and every action you take
is filtered by your brain using a checklist of criteria.

If the decision or action is NOT in line with the criteria, your mind will prevent
action.

Step 2:

Understand the reasons your brain will hold you back.

Some of them include identity, authority issues, and habit.

There are more reasons, though, too many to discuss here.

Step 3:

Beware of the tricks.

When your mind holds you back, it uses manipulative tricks to do so.

So, whenever you have an urge or sensation to do something, ask yourself:

What is the far more important thing I should be doing now?

That's because that urge or sensation is likely a manipulative trick trying to


make you avoid something more important.

Don't let your discovery of internal resistance end here. There are more
reasons your mind holds you back and even more tricks it uses.

 Imagine thinking about doing something and being able to do it.

 Imagine setting a goal and actually achieving it.

It’s possible, and you know people who live like that.
