What is stopping you from becoming successful? Have you ever ask yourself how to be successful like other? Sometimes, it is good to be simple and not to think too much.
For me, I am a thinker. It is good to think and plan. However, by thinking too much we are actually delaying and procrastinating and end of the day, we might not carry out the plan. Once you think of what you want to do, think, plan and act upon it. (Do not over analyse on those that are subjected in unforeseen circumstances.)
I learnt from an entrepreneur on one simple value which has etched in my mind since then. He says, there is no need to care about your competitors. All you need to do is do your best that's all. I realised that, it was very true as all you need is to give your best service to people and things will naturally turn out well for you.
Why is it bad for thinking too much? It may create more and more Fears for you. It will eventually scare you off as it might be a bad deal to get into. Especially when you want to venture into a business, career or anything new to you. There are many things you cannot see, but things might not be as scary as you think because we tend to over emphasise things.
However, we can use Fear as a driver for your success too. Do you fear you will not attain the success you have planned for 5 or 10 years down the road? What if you did not carry out your business ideas, you will never know what outcome it will be. But one thing remains the same, there will be little change 5 years later.
Your inaction might be a cause of many things that you will compromise in the future. You might not have a successful and financially free life and your family might have to suffer with you. Is that what you want because of your inactions of today?
What is your purpose to become successful? As long as you do not have a strong enough purpose in whatever you do, chances things will turn out mediocre. Having a strong purpose in whatever you do is normally linked to what can do you do for others and it is always not about you.
To sum things up, there are 2 main things that are stopping you which are Fear and Having a Purpose. There are a series of other issues that will be a problem for you which can be found in my book called What is Stopping You Now?
