There are many contributing factors to people not achieving the ever desired six figure earnings, the biggest part of the problem is you.

You want to make $100k per year? Well unless you are close to it with whatever you are doing currently, you are going to need to make some serious changes. Leave your comfort zone. Stop doing only what you know how to do and jump into the big world of business with a fresh open mind. Learn something new, try something you never would have imagined doing before.

Einstein once said, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." This could not be more true when it comes down to making money.

The reason why it is hard to earn $100,000 is because the amount of money you make reflects the type of work you are capable of doing. If you don't have a degree in a field that pays in this range, how do you expect to make that amount of money? Six figures is possible if you are in the trades fields and you are willing to work long hard hours and miss out on your life. Or if you have many years of experience in your field of work, you may be able to break $100,000 but it will take quite a while.

Otherwise, $100k is typically only going to be obtained if you are in business for yourself. When in business for yourself, if you want to make that much money, you need to be the best at what you do. You can't expect to make massive quantities of income if you are only mediocre.

The cold hard truth is, if you want to make six figures every year, you need to be better than you are now. You need to try harder, devote more time, effort, work more efficiently, etc. Many people have a hard time coming to terms with the fact that they just aren't good enough to make the money they want right at the moment. That doesn't mean you can't change and become the person you want. You can take control of your life and your finances..
