What's your BIGGEST OBSTACLE?

No matter where you are in your business, whether you're just
thinking about getting started or already in the game, struggling
to break through...

...there's always one obstacle which, if removed, would change
EVERYTHING...


Just recently I've surveyed my list and discovered problems that,
in my opinion, are common across the whole industry:

Some of you are still struggling to even make your first sale...

Others are stuck trying to get through all the noise..


What's that obstacle for you?


What's the one specific thing that if you knew it,
would take your business to the next level?

    One of my biggest personal obstacle's is procrastination. It is a trait I hate in myself and although I am learning to overcome this with my own daily strategy list, I can still fall into the trap on occasion.

    The other one when I first started was 'shiny object syndrome' and trying to sift through to find the good from the bad. You must find one thing and stick with it, not jump from one to another without giving it a chance to work.

    The one specific thing I wish I had known was who to follow. The honest and ethical marketer to help me.

    I don't believe this assumption at all.

    IMO, and over a long career in small business development (35+ years), I don't know that I have ever seen "one obstacle" alone stop a business from progressing.

    Businesses don't make a single change . . . and BAM . . . they're successful overnight.

    In my opinion, there are always lots of small tiny changes in execution that allow a business to move to the next plateau. When those changes are made, the next set of obstacles present themselves.

    Running a small business is all about solving little problems on a daily basis as they arise.

    The "one big obstacle to overcome and I'm home free" theory is a myth.
