Hi there,

here's my question about success,

"what obstacles might you encounter on the path to success"

I would like to know the answer.

Combinaison of procrastination and affraid to get out of our confort zone (job, corporate, retirement plan, etc.) There is so much confort in mediocrity in our time, unfortunately. A lot of people (including myself) are affraid or was affraid of success because we have not been educated this way.

Also, there are so many distractions these days that it is so easy to not focus on what we are doing for our business. Immediate results effortless, lack of perseverance and determination are other factors that contribute to hold us back.

In order to get what we never had, we must do things we've never done! Sometimes, we expect to get different results with the same methods, which does not make sense.

Here a 10 minutes video I want to share:

People who want to pull you down can hinder your way to success. Crab mentality! So you have to focus on your goals and don't mind the negative people around you. They're not worth the trouble.

Most importantly, believe in yourself!

Success is constitutional and depends on a PLUS condition of mind and body, on power of work and on courage.

The world is mathematical, and has no casualty in its entire vast and flowing curve. Success has no more eccentricity than the gingham and muslin we weave in our mills. Your success depends only on YOU.

Surround yourself with positive people, people that support and encourage you, people that also want to succeed. A lot of people are quite negative. Don't listen to such people who tell you that you are wasting your time, because it could decrease your passion and persistence.

People who haven't built a successful business will never understand what to do to be successful. Many people, for some reason, don't want to see you succeed. You must avoid them and try to put them out of your life.

Excellent points -- especially the one above. I've found that to be so true it's almost sad. I had to wing it alone. The only encouragement I got when I started was in webmaster forums i.e. strangers!

I don't understand that trait in people, but it's there for whatever reasons, as you said. I agree that it's imperative to ignore that attitude or any negative talk for that matter.

I still see it -- even my own niece, when I quit my job with the IRS, something I'd so long waited to do, was worried I'd fall flat on my face. Well, I'm doing better than ever. This is a young woman who knows me quite well and should have known I knew what I was doing, yet the "You can't do this" attitude was still there. Go figure.

Keep thinking positive!!
