HOW TO AVOID SUCCESS INHIBITORS

Life is a journey towards actualizing a goal. The situations we find ourselves in are just stages in the journey. For every journey, there's a set departure time and an arrival time. You, taking the journey, set your schedule with high hopes and expect that things will just go accordingly. But as soon as the journey starts you begin to experience unanticipated events, some of which threaten to make you want to turn back. I call these "SUCCESS INHIBITORS".

The various types of Success Inhibitors being experienced by different people can be traced to a number of sources. People around you could be your primary source, when they let you down, cheat you, betray you, and fall short of your expectations. You can imagine what betrayal of trust from someone you had relied on so much (family or friend) could do to your morale.

Many people have turned back on their journey towards business success as a result of these success inhibitors. The slow pace of business growth, to some people, is enough reason for them to contemplate quitting the business. Perhaps it is difficult to get clients to patronize your products. You may even have them pricing lower, thereby taking you longer to exhaust your stock.

Poor finances is also a very serious success inhibitor. You have a lot of lofty ideas for business but no money to execute them. Yet you hear people say all sorts of things like making money by just thinking positively and visualizing yourself as wealthy! But how true is that? The reality is that making money is both easy and hard, depending on the individual. But for sure, making money is not as easy as losing it.

The most dangerous of these sources is YOU! Your refusal to take a step when and where necessary could be your greatest success inhibitor! You have talents in you that are only waiting to be tapped. There are skills you have to learn and master. There are some knowledge you need to acquire to succeed in that particular field of endeavor. But when you do nothing about all these, you become your very own enemy.

Now, having known the possible sources of your success inhibitors, you need to be up and doing to surmount them. If you can't climb a mountain, at least, you can carve your way round it and move on. Never allow lack of finances to kill your dream and make you refuse to start the business at all. Give no room for discouragement from people who turn you down when you need them the most. Work on yourself and do all that's required of you to succeed. You can blame the whole world for you falling down, but you have only yourself to blame for refusing to get back up.
