New Year's Resolution Races - Queendom Reveals Those Who Are Most Likely to Succeed
Queendom releases results from its Success Likelihood Test and offers advice to make those resolutions last past January.
Montreal, Canada, January 05, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Queendom.com, one of the web's foremost sources of personality, career, and IQ assessments, unveils some interesting results of their popular Success Likelihood Test. They also provide helpful suggestions on how to make New Year's resolution stick.
You stare in the mirror at your stuffed turkey belly, Christmas ham thighs, and tinsel-like arm fat. "That's it!" you declare. "This coming new year, I'm getting a gym membership, I'm working out five times a week, and I'm losing all this weight. And as with most New Year's resolutions, you start off full steam ahead. But before long, perhaps a month or two, the five days turns to three, then two, and then none. What gives?
Queendom helps shed some light. Turns out, many of us sabotage ourselves when it comes to achieving success. "When we compared test-takers based on what they consider their potential for success as compared to others, we received some very eye-opening results," points out Dr. Jerabek, President of the company. "Those who rate themselves as having less potential for success had a lower level of drive, self-esteem, and did not feel that they had a great deal of control over how successful they could be, otherwise known as "locus of control." Queendom's data also show that those who view their potential for success as low also had two major fears: a fear of failure and, oddly enough, a fear of success.
"People with a fear of success are those who worry that they won't be able to sustain it, or that they don't deserve it," explains Dr. Jerabek. "Our data shows that people who suffer from a fear of success are plagued by self-doubt, are uncomfortable with competition, and are fearful of having their work criticized, which is more likely to happen the more attention you receive, as we often see with professional athletes or celebrities who become overnight sensations. Success has its pressures. That's why a lot of people who lose tons of weight, for example, often end up packing it back on."
So when it comes to setting and keeping those ever-elusive New Year's resolutions, what can people do to increase their chances of success? Queendom offers some tips:
- Remember, success comes from within. Lack of confidence in your abilities can keep you from attaining success. If you believe that you don't have what it takes to sustain success or live up to the increased expectations, chances are you'll need to work on your view of yourself.
- Don't beat yourself up for falling off the wagon. The true failure would be to quit after hitting the first bump in the road to success. Don't take your failures so hard; rather, see them as an opportunity to learn and grow. Remember that you can't possibly succeed all the time or excel in absolutely everything the first time out.
- Find a supportive social network. Surround yourself with people who believe in you and are ambitious themselves. They can be a great source of inspiration when you start to lose faith in yourself.
- Develop a plan of action. Ok, so you have a goal in mind. What next? Unfortunately, you can't just sit there and hope the road to success will automatically unfold before you like a yellow brick road. You need to create a battle plan to tackle a challenge.
- Break goals into smaller, more manageable chunks.
- Set flexible deadlines.
- Remind yourself of your goals regularly.
