Unrealistic challenges have little hope of succeeding.

When thing arnt going as planned we all start to look at areas of our lives where changes could be made to improve our well being and way of life. Unfortunately far too many people set themselves unrealistic challenges which have little hope of succeeding. Everything from giving up smoking to getting a better paid job is on most lists. Extensive research into human behavioural patterns has proven that in order for an individual to change from negative set of behavioural patterns (often health damaging) to much more beneficial set of habits, requires a lot more effort than merely vocalizing the fact. Acknowledgement is the first key step.

But in order to make positive changes happen, you need to follow a clear plan. And implement daily steps to turn that plan into a reality. Realistic, subtle daily changes are far more likely to succeed because they can be incorporated easily into your lifestyle. Conversely radically trying to change your life over night is destined to fail. At this point you may be wondering what any of this has to do with betting. Well at a subconscious level it is really important to recognise that we need to adapt and evolve as individuals in ever changing world.

With so much information available about betting online it is becoming more difficult to sort the wheat from the chaff. Basically the world and his mother are claiming to be experts on betting, and with so many sources serving up a plethora about the same subject, punters interested in finding a betting edge have to very careful. At a subconscious level we all take on board opinions and information that are false and this can have an impact on how we act.

In our opinion the best way to source and compile information about any subject is to construct a portfolio of books and articles relating to each sub category of that subject, in this case betting on horses. More importantly make sure you do due diligence on the source of the info.

PRO TIP

It really is wise to ignore BS inter-net marketers in any field. The majority are only interested in getting their hands your cash and nothing else. Spending half an hour online confirms that the racing niche is absolutely saturated with false promises and of claims of instant wealth.

Your ability to assess the difference between some one who wants add to your prosperity and someone who wants to separate you from it is probably the most vital skill you can learn.
