Have you ever had an amazing idea that you did not advance? Of course it was.
I won’t tell you anything out of the ordinary, but I will share with you one simple story on this topic.
I have a friend Igor. He is an independent management consultant. A deep and creative thinker. I respect him, his ability to understand his customers and find unique solutions to their problems. However, Igor is not very successful. No, my friend’s affairs are fine, but he says that he would like to see himself prosperous. He works with interesting people, but he does not have enough time for everything, because he gives his advice around the clock and completely free, and people use it. Also – he does nothing to increase his business and improve his experience.
The funny thing is that he has a sea of brilliant ideas on how to build his own business, but the matter never came to their implementation. Igor is one of those who stand still and does not move forward, who stops in front of the difficulties in fear of being outcast, misunderstood, unstable. He does not implement his ideas.
You are familiar with this?
Do you have good ideas? Why don’t you start working on them and realize them?
I am worried about this question. I often come across people who have many great ideas, including what to do next, how to promote your business, but this will never be realized. And everyone wants to know why.
Whether you were thinking about what prevents you from acting, which prevents you from giving life to your ideas and programs that can bring a rich crop?
I think the reasons are simple, so I will share my thoughts with you.
What stops you:
Emptiness inspires, motivates the goal
Why should we get rid of inertia? Because inertia takes everything over. From physics, we learn that the inert state accepts additional energy. The void is real, and only we fill this emptiness. To free yourself from the inertia of the current routine, you must have inspirational goals.
There is no clear vision
Imagine yourself at the intersection, in a thick fog where you cannot see anything. You can’t even read road signs. Where will you go? If you choose a direction, you will be sure of it, but you will act slowly, hoping that the fog will dissipate before speeding up the pace?
Everyone wants to achieve something in life. But without a clear vision, it is impossible to see where to go. And if the goal is not visible, it is unlikely that you can achieve it to achieve.
Do your job without casualties
You have too much desire, too strong that overflows you? You go headlong to your work? Try too much, try to achieve the desired? You make every effort for this? It was then that the importance of the goal is overestimated, and therefore the real block on the way to it is created. If so, then you need to free yourself from this, because it will interfere with the achievement of the goal.
Yes. Refusal is a victim. But this victim means a rejection of valuable for something that has even greater value. And it costs that. Unnecessary importance is reduced, and energy is released to fulfill a dream.
Lack of faith
If you are sure that you will succeed, then it will be so. And if you are not sure, then you should not try.
All tasks can be solved in the presence of a powerful goal and powerful motivation. Then faith turns into knowledge that everything will be fine.
Fear
Sometimes it comes to fear. You have a vision of the goal, and you think that the risk is acceptable and justified. But, all the same, the desire is not fulfilled. What interferes? This is fear. Fear of everything is a hindrance! Due to fear, you may not get what you want, and even what you are so afraid of.
Everything else
You must think through your goal, weigh everything “for” and “against”. If your existing set of actions actually leads you to your goal, then there is no need to do more. But if you do not move in the right direction, then make room for what will be.
You may have to rebuild your priorities and overestimate your options in order to go along the right track.
And what stops you to translate your ideas into reality? Any of these six reasons can be a huge obstacle to achieving your goal. As soon as you determine what stops you, it will be much easier to start acting in order to carry out the plan. Now you can turn your ideas into an action plan.
