What’s ONE obstacle people face on their way to success? Themselves. I look back and have no problem saying to myself, that was me. I have no excuses, no reason to blame others. It was all me. I have seen the enemy and it is I. My bad habits, my good habits, my character, my flaws, my ignorance, my education, my upbringing, my skill set, all of it. The largest obstacle in my ways has not been any of those things in the info-graphic. It has always been me. Maybe I don’t want to succeed. Maybe time was created to keep everything from happening at once, including my success. No matter what I try to ‘blame’ it on, it all rolls back down to me.
Negative imprinting. A clear example is the generation that was born post-depression in the United States. The negativity can be cultural, family-based, institutional education, or early employment experience. The result is a psychological wall that can only be surmounted with positive experience equal in intensity and duration to the original imprinting, and must involve the conscious will of the individual. We are programmable and we are our own programmers, yes, but we do not all start with easily adapted code.
Themselves – mind over matter
Fear
The biggest obstacle I believe is fear of success.
FEAR
Nothing stopping anyone but themselves! Go for IT!
For the longest time I struggled with motivation. You really need to be motivated to overcome all the other obstacles but a lack of motivation can sometimes be the biggest obstacle all by itself!
Self confidence … not having or perceiving to the confidence to proceed, to be successful.
Listening to people who don’t have your best interests at heart.
I have been, over the past 20 years, in a series of situations (jobs, companies I started, freelance and consulting gigs, etc.) exposed to an unbroken string of “jobs disappearing underneath me”, and frankly I’ve gotten so “gun shy” that I almost expect that anything that I work on isn’t going to be around in 6-18 months. I guess that would be “doubt”, but it’s more like a sense of being seriously “snakebit”!
Bad parenting…just blame it all on MOM…lol! Seriously I think the risk of the unknown stops most folks. Better safe than sorry is the real life motto for most.
Not enough EQ and social networking, too much selfishness and pessimist entourage.
Self-doubt is a primal block that most people have to break through. On my FB page I quote Charlie Chaplin who said: “Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself!” And that has stuck with me all these years, remaining so true in it simplicity!
Stopping at your first failure is the biggest obstacle to success — because success hides just on the other side of failure.
I think FEAR is the answer.
FEAR to loose, to fail and many more.
Fear is real and lives in that space between our two fat little ears.
themselves
for my guys at work – it’s fear.
What’s ONE obstacle people face on their way to success? I believe that would be… SELF-CONFIDENCE!
I mean… Low SELF-CONFIDENCE! :-D
Not enough mental toughness!
The biggest fears people have in network marketing – is to evolve. Many people are afraid to evolve from what’s holding them back – and to master their true selves.
*justification alert* I wouldn’t call it necessarily worry all the time, I just prepare myself for all possible outcomes. Of course the negative outcomes are the ones that I focus on because I want to do all that I can to prevent them. As a mom, preparedness sometimes means worrying all the time. That gets in my way of success.
I think that once you have a child that it becomes mandatory to worry all the time. Of course you worry pre-kids, but after kids it is just crazy the amount of worrying that goes on in a woman’s head. I can’t even watch the news anymore. So I’m torn between getting out there and making it happen, taking my dreams across the finish line and protecting my family now (knowing it’s just a short-term fix).
Am I willing to fight through it all for you dreams? YES I AM!
That’s really thinking at a high level. Now really thinking about what I may to go through… and that helps.
How valuable each day of life is no matter how few of them there are. How to be compassionate to others. To be less judgmental, realizing everyone grieves and struggles in a different way and at a different pace. We each will face our own challenges as we take our dreams across the finish line!
