Re: First Class beat PRIORITY in this one itty bitty little TEST.

>PS. It looks like GETTING STARTED really is the hardest thing for so many...and so many of you have such good ideas, it is a shame there isn't the action behind them. Also, we seem to have TOO MANY options today, do you think that is true? OR
Do you think it is a matter of focus?<

Gordon,

It's good to see you posting regularly again. Hope you're health is coming back.

I think it’s several things:

1. There are many options. Internet, mail order, on-line, off-line, retail. Is it bad? I don’t know. It’s all these options that make this era the greatest in entrepreneurial potential we’ve ever had. Each option creates more and more entrepreneurial opportunity.

2. Is it a lack of focus? Certainly in some cases it is. But why? I don’t think it’s necessarily because people can’t focus but it’s because of their (our) outlooks and expectations. We, for better or worse are a “instant satisfaction” society. If we don’t reach our goals almost immediately we look for something else. “Get Rich Quick” affects many of us. We may say we don’t believe in it but I think most do. Even if we believe it just a little it affects any project we work on. We want instant profits. We want to make money immediately. And when it doesn’t happen off to another project we go.

3. We’re afraid of failure. Many are afraid that if they fail… they’ll be labeled as “losers”. Even if we say we don’t fear failure, many of us deep down inside still do. Even a slight fear of failure can destroy the start of any project. I find this startling because the environment, society and financial institutions have never been more accepting of failure, both financial and otherwise.

4. We’re afraid of taking risk. We’ve been coddled like no other generation before us. We’ve been comforted to the point that we don’t risk any pain in our lives. We need to have everything “perfect” before we move. There used to be a point in history where if we didn’t take risks we wouldn’t live. We had to go out and risk being eaten by predators in order to get the sustenance we needed. But heck today we can reach the merry old age of 80 with taking very little risk. What’s the most risky thing many of us do today? Try to sneak 10 items through the 8-Item-Or-Less line at the grocery store checkout? It frightens me to think the generations that follow us will feature people that take even less risk than we do!

5. Pessimism. I think we are a pessimistic people by nature. For most it seems the glass is ½ empty rather than ½ full. We always look at the negative in any situation instead of the possible good. I remember my grandparents always bemoaning the depression and how it wrecked their physical well being at the time. Personally I think it affected their mental well being even more. The depression caused millions of Americans to take a pessimistic view of the economy and financial institutions. These Americans then “preached” the same views to the following generations. This pessimism surely keeps many would be entrepreneurs from taking the leap.

I’m sure there are more reasons but these are some that I encounter all the time when working with entrepreneurs and would-be entrepreneurs.

Take care,

Hello My Friends,

I think people look for reasons why things will fail instead of looking for reasons why things will work. I guess it's like the glass full...glass empty thing.

I for one, take action on ideas and concepts that I believe will work for me. So many people can't get over that hump even if it's a realistic business that's working for others every day.

Well...I guess some people are doers...they make all the money.

Others do nothing....and complain in addition to buying from others who do.

And..the rest like to read about others who do in addition to buying from them.

That's the world we live in...
