Yes, I think that's true.... EXCUSES can be a big problem.... If we don't allow ourselves excuses, I think the better we can be.... :)

That's one thing I've noticed in these various entrepreneurial stories I've read.... These true success stories just try try try again, whereas a lot of people just try once (if that) then give up....

Thanks :)
