We all have dreams and aspirations, right? We all have desires, goals, whatever you want to call it but few of us, particularly when it comes to business, ever achieve them. I constantly indulge myself in knowledge, I've read practically every business and self-help book out there, I know so many stories inside out, I've seen the patterns that both successful people used and what they advocated to avoid.
But I just can't get started...and I have no idea why.
What I'm looking for is advice, not business advice, but advice on how to stop this dangerous inertia that will ultimately be the #1 reason I accomplish nothing. Why does my mind do this? I feel like I have the confidence to start something but never do? Am I just lazy? Am I subconsciously insecure? Not to mention, almost every book I've read mentioned how they [the successful entrepreneurs] had started businesses as kids (like a lemonade stand), that was never me! I was the want-to-do kid, not the tried-and-failed-but-at-least-tried kid.
So my question is...is there anyone here (or an entrepreneur you've heard of) that got themselves out of this rut, this "feeling stuck" rut where they JUST GOT STARTED? Where they stopped talking about their goals and actually got to work? Where they started and didn't give up 3 days in? I need help...
