How to Tell Excuses That Hold You Back to F-Off!

by Daniel O'Connor

It is so much easier to do nothing isn't it?

Come up with an excuse not to move forward.

I had a Linkedin message from someone recently, which inspired this article. I won't screenshot the message, but basically the sender came up with about 5 excuses in a very short message about why they can't start their enterprise right now. 

I said..

"Sorry for the brevity, but this is rubbish. The traffic lights are never all on green There is never a good time."

Getting started is the hardest part. But we are gonna help you.

If any of these excuses ring true with you, then please suspend that negativity and sign up and we will get you on your way. 

Here's some common excuses that you might recognise:

You don't know where to start.

We will assess your situation and tell you where to start and what to do next.

You don't know what the steps are to turn this into reality

We are going break it down for you into little bits so you can make a little bit of progress everyday while you are still in work

You've got loads of ideas but don't know which one to pick

We are going to show you how to validate and pick the best idea which suits you and has maximum impact.

You fear failing outweighs your fear of not doing anything

We will show you how failing is a gift from the universe.

You are not sure if you are qualified

Pfffft the only quality you need is beating heart, a brain and a belief in your mission.

You don't want to let others down

What if you don't do anything? 

There is already others doing your thing

That's great news! You are nimble and quick and can find opportunity in the cracks.

You don't have the resources you need to get started

All you need is your brain and your health...and a way to connect to the internet!

Your not sure it's going to work.

You know what? If you think like that it probably won't.  9 out of 10 startups fail. But you are going to learn from our mistakes and follow our methodology which will go a long way to ensuring that you will be the 1 in 10 that thrive. 

If you are struggling to beat that negativity we found a great article....

Recently we came across this epic article from For The Interested about how we sometimes need to get out of our own way. We need to bypass our fears, insecurities, and doubts. We create little stories and allow ourselves to be held back. Fortunately, it doesn’t need to be that way, because we are in control, and if we put our minds to it, we can kick through the excuses and really get things done.

Here’s the link to the article.
