My wife left me for some other guy and took all the money. I can't seem to find a product to sell. Every time that I try to start this business, I run into roadblocks. I can't start a business like you. I don't have the money or time. My significant other does not buy into this fastlane process. What can I do?

For many people it seems that we feel that we are the victims of circumstance. In some cases we feel like total victims of other people and their actions.

We have created this life we have by carving out our little place in reality. No other person does this for us, we do it ourselves. All of the experiences that we have in life along with the choices that we make, bring us to the place we are now. We are making our choices even if we feel that others are making them for us.

It is possible to feel pretty helpless at times when circumstances around us look dire. This can really place a burden on us if we let it.

We need to keep a clear head and keep moving forward. Take on the obstacles as if they are just part of daily life. Frustration should not be part of our action plan.

We are not victims. This is our life and we need to be able to deal with it.

Of course there are some people that are truly victims. Somebody who has been raped or physically harmed. Someone that has had a close family member pass away unexpectedly. There are many examples.

I have seen plenty of people take these situations head on as well and keep a positive outlook on life.

But in our little world of investing and business building, we must keep the victim mentality out of the picture. The roadblocks will be much easier to get past if we do.
