What are the reasons why People are not taking Action to start their Business

This question was asked online and the following are selected out of about seventeen reasons listed :

· Lack of capital
· Lack of education
· Lack of ideas
· Lack of mentor
· Lack of technical know how
· Fear
· laziness

In as much as one or more of the reasons above may be the reasons why some people have not started in business, some other reasons among this same list would still be the reasons why some other people have not yet started their own business too. But, the most deadly reason that is not listed above is procrastination.

If you have not started something, you would have one thousand and one reasons why you have not started. But, the moment you have been able to start, you have conquered procrastination and will only be facing challenges that will be appearing as stumbling blocks but are surmountable. With determination and perseverance, you will climb these blocks and use them as your stepping stones to success.

According to Napoleon Hill, people who do not succeed have a common distinguishing trait. They know all the reasons for failure, and have what they believe as effective alibis to explain their failure or lack of achievement. He's also of the opinion that alibis cannot be used for money. People want to know only one thing - have you achieve success?

So, my people let's wake up and take that action, we should not be afraid of failure. Don't say what if I fail, say instead what if I succeed.

If you have not read Napoleon Hill's 'Think and Grow Rich', you can at least look for the book and check the list of 55 famous alibis compiled by a character analyst on the last 6 pages. These alibis are now made obsolete by the master key you would have in your possession after reading the whole of the book.

The master key is powerful and it is the privilege of creating, in your own mind a burning desire for a definite form of riches.

The best way to move or push yourself to take proper action at the right time, is to be fully determined and focused. Your power and ability to take action despite all odds, is what makes you a determined and focused person. There is this saying that I believed so much in, and I have been using it as a very strong guiding principle for some time now. And this is “whatever you love or strongly desire, you would definitely find time for it” In essence, you will make it possible. Check out this statement and confirm it’s truthfulness. Let us consider this scenario, you were going for an appointment or rather a deal that would fetch you a very huge some of money in your business, you were almost at the venue of the appointment and suddenly remembered that you have forgotten a very vital document required to complete the deal, won’t you go back to pick the document? Your answer is as good as mine.

Let me leave you with this quote "Life is a checkerboard, and the player opposite you is time. If you hesitate before moving, or neglect to move promptly, your men will be wiped off the board by time. You are playing against a partner who will not tolerate indecision"

Take Action Today..
