“My biggest barrier to success is myself. I always find an excuse to give up on my goals and stay right in my comfort zone. I know I can do better than that, but I don’t know how.
I’ve asked my readers what their barriers to success are. Here are just some of their replies:
I know I do.
In 2010, I was in my last year of high school. I knew I was smart, and I always wanted to go and study abroad.
Because I was very ambitious, I applied to some of the top universities in Europe to study computer science there – Imperial College London and King’s College London.
I dreamed about going there, living the student lifestyle with endless dorm parties and getting a good degree that would let me get any job I wanted (yes, I was naive).
At first, everything went well. I wrote up the applications to the colleges, prepared a detailed CV, got my references… and eventually I got this e-mail:
At first, I was excited and I let my family and friends know about the good news.
There was one problem though – because I chose some of the top universities out there, I had to graduate with straight As – even in the subjects I wasn’t interested in, like Slovenian language and Philosophy.
Because of that, I started procrastinating. I said I would study for exams later. I started skipping school and played video games at home just to keep my mind off of studying.
As time went by, it became more and more clear that I wouldn’t be able to get accepted to my dream colleges.
I decided to give up on my goals.
The excuse that I used was that “I don’t want to be a financial burden to my parents and leave all my friends behind”.
But deep down inside, I knew that it was because I was afraid to give it my all and still fail. This would mean to me that I’m not as smart as I thought I was, and it would cost me months of studying.
I chose the easy way out – I kept avoiding studying and speaking to my friends and family about the subject.
And then, it got worse.
Because I avoided everything related to studying and skipped school, I didn’t even pass the last grade of high school. I couldn’t even take the graduation exams.
This meant that I had to repeat the same year of high school again, in a class of totally new people that saw me as a complete failure.
It was one of the worst years of my life, filled with guilt, regret, and the feeling that I’ve failed myself.
Top 3 reasons why we don’t we follow through with our goals and New Year Resolutions
Why do we set new goals each year, only to find them written down at the bottom of a drawer 6 months later?
Why don’t we follow through with them and simply take the easy way out by staying in our comfort zone and changing nothing?
Because we start doubting ourselves and finding excuses.
Reason #1 – “I’m just not the kind of person that would do that…”
What we say:
“I wish I could talk to strangers on the bus like my friend can, but I guess I’m just not the kind of person that could do that.”
The actual reasons:
You go out with your friend, and within 2 minutes, you see him in a deep conversation with a stranger on the bus that he’s never met before. How does he do that?
As you watch him, you think to yourself: “He’s such a natural. I wish I could do that.”.
We don’t take action because what we see in others seems so far away from us. Our friends tells amazing stories, has the courage to talk to any stranger, he lights up the room when he walks in and he always gets invited to the best parties.
That’s so many things that he’s doing better than you. How could you possibly learn all of that? How do you do it and where do you even start?
You don’t take action on your goals because you feel overwhelmed by all the choices out there and because you don’t know where to start if you wanted to improve your social skills.
What successful people do:
The people who successfully learn social skills break the skills down into smaller ones (telling stories, improving body language, approaching strangers…), and learn them one by one. Not all at once, just one at a time. They improve a little but little, and with time it adds up. And a few months later, you think they are naturals!
Reason #2 – “I just don’t have the time and energy to do that…”
What we say:
“I don’t have the time and energy to work on a side business. I have a job and two kids, and this takes up all of my time.”
The actual reasons:
Why do some people manage to create a successful side-business, even though they have a full time job and a family, while others don’t?
Do they just try harder or somehow have more energy?
No, they just spend less hours on watching TV, reading newspapers and mindlessly browsing through their Facebook feeds.
I bet you could find at least 30min of time a day to work towards your goal (that’s over 180 hours a year!) if you really wanted to.
But you don’t, because time is not the issue.
The real issue is that you are afraid.
- You are afraid that if your business fails, you will just spend 3 months working on it and that your friends will laugh at you.
- You are afraid that if you get some paying clients, you won’t be able to deliver on your promises.
- You are afraid that if your business succeeds, your friends won’t look at you in the same way any more.
What successful people do:
The people who successfully build their side-businesses know how how to overcome their fears. Instead of finding excuses to avoid admitting that they are afraid, they embrace the fact that every person is afraid of something and invest their energy into learning how to perform well in spite of the fears that come up.
Reason #3 – “I can always work on this later…”
What we say:
“I will work on losing weight some time in the future… The summer is still a long time away.”
The actual reasons:
You finally got the gym membership and went to the gym.
But once you came there, you realised that you had no idea what to do. You didn’t know how to do the exercises properly, and you were afraid to ask others for help.
You felt like you didn’t belong there. You felt like everyone was looking at you and wondering what this person is even doing here.
After that experience, you never went back to the gym again. You said to yourself that you can always go back later, but deep down you knew that you won’t because it feels weird and out of your comfort zone.
So what can you do to avoid this awkwardness and still still reach your goals?
What successful people do:
The people who successfully reach their goals know that it will feel weird when they first start out with something they’ve never done before. They also know that they will get stuck and won’t know how to do somethings.
They hire a personal trainer in the gym for an hour to show them how to do the basic exercises correctly and help them create their workout plan. They also surround themselves with other people who believe in hem and support them along the way, so they don’t feel like they are all alone in this journey.
How I overcame my fears and barriers and made 2014 the best year of my life
2014 was easily the best year of my life. And it wasn’t because I created a successful online business or spent 7 months travelling around the world.
It was because I finally managed to create a normal relationship with my family.
You see, just one year ago, my relationship with my family was more or less inexistent. My sister moved out of my parent’s place because she couldn’t stand me any more. Over the last 3 years, we spoke about once a year for 15 minutes to exchange pleasantries. For a few years, she didn’t even congratulate me for my birthday.
With my parents, things weren’t much better. We said hello to each other from time to time, but most of the time I just avoided talking to them.
I desperately wanted to change, but just couldn’t get myself to do it.
I wanted to change that. I’ve spent many nights in bed thinking about how much I wished I had a normal relationship with a family. I wanted to be able to show them how much I loved them, but I couldn’t get myself to take action.
All of that changed this year when I realised that I can systematically improve the relationships with my family just like I managed to create my businesses, improve my writing skills and got a six pack in the past.
At first, it was still incredibly hard. I had to actually get my girlfriend to write the first few e-mails to my parents and my sister for me. It was super embarrassing, but I just didn’t know what else to do. After the first few e-mails, everything became a ton easier though.
Now, my relationship with my family is 1000x better.
I managed to keep the conversations going and later on when I came back from travelling, I actually started grabbing coffee with my sister once a week. My relationship with my family got a lot better as well, and after many many years we even went on a one-week vacation together.
I took a one week vacation with my parents this year and it was amazing!
This is what made this year the perfect year for me.
Having the ability to spend a nice lunch with my family, making eye contact with them and not arguing.
What about you? What would make 2015 the perfect year for you?
What if you could reach any goal you set for yourself?
Imagine yourself one year from now.
What if…
- You built a successful side-business that gave you the opportunity to quit your job and finally spend more time with your young kids and your spouse.
- You could wake up, look at yourself at the mirror and actually like the way that your body looks?
- You were able to walk into a room and instantly knew how to start a deep conversation with anyone there?
- You had the ability to quit your current job and found one that you would love working at?
- You could finally find a boyfriend or a girlfriend that would love you for who you are?
- You were able to make your partner fall in love with you again?
How would that make you feel?
How would your life change?
Which new opportunities would open up for you?
Take a minute to think about it.
It’s all possible. I thought I could never build my own business, talk to strangers, or have a normal relationship with my family. I thought I could never work remotely while travelling around Thailand.
And yet, I managed to achieve all of those things. And now that I know how to handle my fears, have a circle of successful people who support me in my goals and take action consistently, I know I can reach any goal that I set for myself. Maybe not in a month, 3 months or 6 months, but I know that if I put my mind to it, I can figure it out and get there.
I want to share with you a step-by-step system that you can use to reach your #1 goal in 2015 as well.
Introducing The Limitless Life: How to overcome your fears and barriers, surround yourself with people who believe in you and follow through with your goals.
I’ve spent hundreds of hours and tens of thousands of dollars on studying how successful people think by attending conferences, going through online courses, reading books and talking to other successful people. After years of research, trial and error, I managed to identify the key mindset shifts that separate the successful people from the mediocre masses.
I packaged these mindset shifts into a 30-day online program that will help you:
- Overcome your inner barriers: How to keep taking action even when you are afraid, overcome self-doubt and become more confident in yourself.
- Set yourself up for success: What to do when your family and friends don’t support you and how to find a circle of people who will “get” you, believe in you and support you in your goals.
- Get in control of your own life: How to stop living the life that others want you to live, become more independent and proactive, and say no to things you don’t want to do without feeling guilty about it.
- Become the best person that you can be: Learn how to constantly perform at your best, keep yourself motivated and make good decisions in hard pressure situations.
You will learn how to stop feeling overwhelmed, helpless and negative and start taking action and moving towards your ideal lifestyle.
I went one step further though – I broke these mindset shifts down and turned them into the exact steps that you can follow so you can easily apply them to your own life and start moving towards your goals immediately.
In fact, I even went beyond that. I connected these principles into a proven step-by-step system that you can use every time you want to take on a challenge in your life and make sure you succeed at it.

What separates Limitless Life from other courses
If you’re looking for a course about productivity, systems and avoiding procrastination, this is not the right course for you. I have created another course (Success Systems) that focuses specifically on productivity.
Limitless Life is focused on improving your mindset, overcoming self-doubt, your fears and other barriers that are preventing you from living your ideal lifestyle. Limitless Life will give you the mindset necessary to tackle on any challenge in your business, career and life.
Limitless Life is extremely easy to implement. I have designed the course in a way that allows you to take action immediately and get results fast. It is also unique in the fact that you get daily e-mails and action steps that allow you to work towards your dream life every single day. Instead of spending your time and energy by thinking about “how do I apply this to my life?” or “what should I do next?”, you can simply follow the daily action steps and videos and focus on taking action.
Limitless Life isn’s based on some vague concepts like “follow your passion”. What does that even mean? All of the mindset shifts within the course are actionable and directly applicable to your own life. With each of the mindset shifts in the course you will find real-life examples that will show you exactly how these shifts perform in teal life.
Limitless Life course is NOT for you if:
- You are looking for quick fixes to your problems and don’t want to put in the work. You need to be willing to put in the work in order to make ANY change happen in your life..
- You prefer to keep making excuses in your life instead of being honest with yourself, cutting the BS and taking action.
- You don’t like playing around with concepts and experimenting. Yes, some of the examples from the course will work out of the box for you, but to get the most out of this course, you will need to play around with the ideas and find ways to implement them in your own life.
- You can’t invest at least 20-30 minutes per day into implementing the action steps from this course. IF you don’t have the time for that, you are not ready to join the course.
Limitless Life course IS for you if:
- You want to develop a new mindset to life that will allow you to achieve anything you want.
- You want to overcome your fears and self-doubt and learn how to become a more confident, optimistic and proactive person.
- You are sick of waiting to live your dream life “someday” (after you finish university? after you get a job? after you get kids?) and want to start living it today.
- You are tired of the constant feeling that you are not living the life that you want to live and not living up to your full potential.
- You are willing to invest at least 20-30 minutes a day into completing the action steps from this course and play around with the mindset shifts in real life situations.
- You know that after you invest the initial time into building up the momentum and getting on the road to your Dream Life, you will never have to live a limited, unfulfilling life any more.

Success Stories from Limitless Life students
Using the system from the Limitless Life, I quit my sedentary job, changed my habits, took control over my life and started living the life that I truly wanted to live. Now I spend the majority of my time doing what I really enjoy, spending time outside and taking care of my family.
Enej S.
I met Primoz last year and he’s been life-changing to me. I quickly realized what mattered in my life and started to build the foundations of my Limitless Life. Today I’m much more productive and in addition to doing great for my PhD, I’m starting an online business on the side. This is only the beginning. Now that I have the right strategies and mindset, I know that my life is limitless!
Charles B.
By following the advice from Primoz, I went from being an unemployed computer science student to starting my own 6-figure freelance business in just 5 months. I’ve since lived in Vienna for 3 months, went to USA for a few weeks, to Thailand for a month, and I’ll be spending the next three months in Tokyo. I feel like I’m finally living the life that I always wanted to live.
Blaz H.
Limitless Life gave me a great system for reaching my goals. I now have a clear roadmap of what I want to achieve, what I need to be doing to get there and what I can do right now to get closer to my goals. This makes it way easier to be motivated to do my daily work because I understand why I’m doing everything I’m doing and see how everything falls together into one big picture.
Kristian Z.
Primoz, Your courses were the best investments I could make in myself to improve!! Now I’m much more proactive and confident, I know what I want to do in my life and I don’t feel guilty any more when I say no to things I don’t want to do. By changing the little habits in my life I am really enjoying it so much more. Even my family noticed the change me and now they are asking me for help on improving themselves! It’s so great when family members listen to you and take action and not just try to bring you down.
Jessica G.
I used to struggle with being organized and productive. With Limitless Life I doubled my productivity, become more organized and I learned how to say no to things that won’t get me closer to living my ideal life. I successfully broke some of my bad habits and developed better ones in their place. I also created a system that helps me reflect on my days, track my progress and improve myself every single day.
Gabriel D.
After going through Limitless Life I am much more proactive and in control of my life. I started taking the initiative and “making things happen”. I know exactly what I want and I can see my progress in different areas and roles of my life. I know what I can do to become better at my job and how to be a better father and husband. Instead of keeping all of my dreams and goals in my head I now have everything written down and can focus 100% of my attention on the tasks that I do each day because I know they will get me where I want to go.
David T.
I really enjoyed Limitless Life because I now I understand what motivates me and can plan my days around that. I used to treat my family as a distraction from work in the afternoons, but now that I know how important it is to me I treat it just like work and I try to be a better father and husband every day. I get to spend a lot more quality time with my family and live a great life.
Mikhail M.
A month ago I thought that things like going on a vacation, hiring someone to help out with housework or starting an online business was “too difficult, too expensive and not possible for me.”. Now I know this is not true because within just one month I managed to do all 3 of those things. I hired someone 2 hours per week to help clean the house, I’m working on my online business each day and I’m planning a vacation to South Africa next year with my wife. Limitless Life really helped me overcome my barriers and live my life to the fullest.
Sebastien B.
I’ve always been afraid to really paint my dream life because it seems so unattainable and I would just put it out of my mind, but the Limitless Life really helped me with that. Now I have a clear path in front of me – I can sit down in the morning and say “ok, what am I going to do today that will get me closer to having a paying client for fitness and nutrition coaching? and what can I say NO to to make time for it?”. Now my dream life is feeling much more real and attainable. It’s really powerful stuff!
