What is the one thing that stops you?

Lack of knowledge, as with many newbies I suppose. The basis to the reason of my existence in this forum, to learn from the best and overcome my limitations.

I think a big problem people have is always trying the next best thing. Find something you like and finish it until it is done. Don't just go to the next shiny object.

I've had difficulty in the past with that very thing - moving on to the next thing before I've given the current project the time it needs. I think I'm over it now!

Yes, it is a problem if you make it one, sometimes it is good to know when to call it a day.

I think that I have so many things I want to do with my business everday, I often have a hard time getting organized and getting down to business.

Hi....Bart!
Well,to me,lack of experience and professional knowledge are the things that get in my way of achieving success...

My biggest issue is the lack of network. Like most Techies, I can build great software and products, but because I don't market myself better, no one knows about the stuff I have to offer.

Reaching my limits to perform, to do tasks. Lost track of what up and what's not.

I think the biggest thing that stops me or hinders me sometimes from success is myself, in the past 5 years i have done things i never thought were possible for myself and sometimes that negative thought process habit comes back, especially when what i am doing wont show a immediate results, we are capable of things most couldnt even imagine

People's oppinion, they usually say more bad words than supporting words

That would be lack of focus. It's so easy for me to get distracted trying to learn the next hot thing.

I found people do NOT have strong enough Reasons that drive them. When you ask someone this question they give you simple reasons - yet those do not drive them. To REALLY discover someone's Reasons, have them go through the Dream Bar Cafe.

People discover their Desire's, Reasons, Enthusiasm, Actions, and how to Manifest them! That's only the Dream part! The Bar & Cafe are even better!

We just finished a 4 1/2 hour Video Series on all 12 Principles. Dr Joe Rubino, Chuck Abbott, and myself are teaching these Principles. They are almost ready...

You can Opt-in and I'll send you a free sample (even though I do not state this on the opt-in page... yet).

The two main things that get in the way of achieving success, is fear and impatience.

I'm sure that everyone can relate to a situation where they may have walked away from an opportunity because they were either too scared of failure, or felt that it was taking too long for any positive results to come back.

Sometimes people tend to expect amazing results yesterday!

From personal experience, I've gone through that cycle many times over from which I became one of those 'jumpers' that would jump from opportunity to opportunity in search of the next 'big' thing.

Thankfully, I've now learned to commit more focus onto a project and exercise as much effort into it before determining as to whether or not I continue working on it.

My *biggest* problem that stops me is (1) *myself* and (2) information OVER-load!

I think the one thing that gets in front of success to most of us is the fear of failure or i would quote it as the word "NO". Most of the times whenever someone wants to do something good and speaks up with another person he gets a answer as NO which starts working in the mind and the individual gives up. If we could treat that NO as next opportunity one can achieve success at will . Thanks

>Perfectionist

Always reminding myself to go with the flow - perfect as you go, don't get stuck in research/plan mode.

Nothing!! Nothing can stop me!
I'll do what I need to do nothing can hinder me.

I like this post....

I don't think there is nothing in my way, i just think i have to work harder to get there it just won't come easy...

there may be simple things that set me back every now and then, but I can't let that control my destiny in any form....everyone that fights for their success will reach their goals I believe in that!

For me it's information overload, overprocessing that information (analysis paralysis), lack of focus, and fear of letting go. I also have a hard time building up a network of people because I am such an introvert and am comfortable in my own world. But that doesn't help me in the long run does it?

*sigh*

For me, it's definitely laziness and what you'd call entrepreneurial ADHD.

I often find myself not taking action. And when I do, I switch from one project to another, just like a child goes from playing with one particular toy to the next one in a few minutes.

Thanks for the question - made me really reflect on what I can do to improve my workflow.

lack of enthusiasm >_<
also laziness...
stay on the same road and not moving on.

Challenges are always there to bully us around, learn form the mistakes you've had. Stand up and fight back, the only enemy here is yourself. Don't give in to here says, always say "can" rather than "can't".

I used to make excuses/changes that stopped me from getting what I wanted. I have stopped thinking that way. I have learned to stick to one thing and make it work to my advantage before moving on to something new that would keep me moving in the right direction.

Having too many ideas and projects to move forward with. I need to hire a full-time staff so that I can handle everything.

When the going gets tough, its very hard not to give up. Especially when its a constant uphill battle at times. I try to keep myself in check though, and always remember that it doesn't matter how slow you go, so long as you do not stop.

I have this attitude of a "go getter", i stick to the plan. Whatever troubles arises I make sure to fix it right away or die trying. No one can stop me! It is all in your mind.

I'd say fear of failure.. yep.

Website visitors Free: The important first step to getting free website visitors.



Let's imagine the hype for a second... $50,000 your first month with no experience. The best (we should say it better--the most believable) lies have a hint of truth. I can't believe people delude themselves and actually believe that phrase.

I'm sorry I have to tell you this, but that doesn't happen. People that make that kind of money not only work their tails off, but they also have some great marketing knowledge.

One of the most important parts of marketing is research. Let's break it down as quickly as possible.

For those that are looking for what already sells well

Step 1
Put yourself in the mind of the general public. Have you heard of anything selling really well lately?
What are the major problems and what results are people willing to pay for? Obviously there are economic problems but that's getting into needs, which are logical. People buy on emotion and then justify their purchase with logic later, remember? Then again, if the economic problems are so big, so as to cause emotion, then people might buy. But by that time, it may be too late and they no longer have the money to purchase. That's why check cashing places as well as paycheck loan businesses are doing so well. BUT are they really helping people out of the recession?
For information products, we suggest you look at Clickbank and search the marketplace and see what's selling well.
For tangibles, go to EBay and Amazon.com and check out what's selling well and what's getting great reviews. Don't look at anything unless it sells well ONLINE. We're talking about free traffic generation. The purpose of market research is to get your ideal product and a way to get it purchased and shipped in the easiest way possible. If you don't have a good product, you won't get much traffic.
Step 2.
The second most important aspect of the market research is to get your keyword research correct. More detail on this in the next section
Step 3.
Should go the same as those that have a product already.
Now that you know the wants (not necessarily the NEEDS) of your prospects, it's time to put your findings into your marketing techniques.
Let's say you find a niche market, electrical generators. This is a buying target market. People don't usually jump on Google and type in "Electrical Generator" just to casually learn about them. They are looking for the best type to fit their needs and break out their credit cards.
Now you know what part of the country people are buying them, how much they're willing to spend, how often they buy them, etc.
Write your headlines to catch the eye of those looking for your particular benefits. "How a generator can literally save your family in the event of a hurricane!" Gather info on how to solve their problems and write your information articles (which will be the basis of your exposure techniques.) More on this in further chapters...
Proctor & Gamble spend $500 Million dollars every year researching product opportunities...
Please remember that you should be spending 80% of your production time doing market and keyword research. One huge benefit of this is the fact that while you're doing your research you have a great side benefit...you're becoming the expert you need to be to provide great content and add value to the world of online info. This, in turn, will give you the needed credibility to earn the trust of your prospects. If you'll remember, this takes care of the 3rd factor of why people won't buy what you're selling.

The only thing that stops me is my willingness to fail.

hi

I think as an expirement warrior all warriors share me this opinion.yet most of us met this preblem of time they work day and night at the end they feel like not achieving any success.

thanks hope it useful .

NOTHING
Thats right. I will not let any thing stand in my way.

Here's to your continuing success

The inability to decide on a project and take consistent focused action. There is so much information on making money online it is bewildering. I literally have 100's of ebooks that I have bought or downloaded as a freebie. And every ebook or course I buy I try to start implementing it and I run into a brick wall. I find I can't seem to do what the directions say, I have trouble deciding on a product to promote, then I find it impossible to come up with content to put on my website. I have no clue how to write about things I know nothing about, even after I research them. Then I can't motivate myself to work on a project I decided to do and I eventually give up and browse the warrior forum more until I find something else to buy.

I think it comes down to lack of passion and skills. I don't have any copywriting or sales skills. And I can't find a niche or business model that I am passionate enought to work consistently on.

Does this internet marketing thing require a certain personality or skill set that I just don't have?

Information overload is a huge obstacle.

Cheers~

hear from you soon,

Discipline to do the next indicated step in virtually anything. Focus, or lack thereof.

The other things and distractions that get in my way.
As John Lennon once wrote:
"Life is what happens while your busy making other plans."

Good question.

Have asked myself that question all the time...found the answer(partly)

The belief that I can do more than what I think I can....

So I decided to have a learner's attitude...learn everyday and more important...practice to do what I have learnt.

As they say "Knowledge is only potential power". You need to apply them.

So now I learn to move forward everyday...learn and practice esp in IM.

Keep the faith!

Too many AWESOME ideas, Sometimes they can stop
you from getting ahead with any idea.

I'm the one 'thing' that stops me - and I'm real good at it! I wish I knew how I did it!

It used to be my own subconscious beliefs, but now that I've eliminated that obstacle, there is nothing standing in my way!

Cheers,

Ron

The thing that stop me in the past was myself. I attended lots of training and I knew different ways to accomplish what I needed to get done, but I didn't take action.

If you let it, procrastination can be the killer of your dreams.

One of the most important things for people to do is to work on their personal development.

The only fork in the road for you can be taken out if you find your way around it.
