  • ⚡ Coming up with excuses is much easier than making an effort to make your dreams come true.

    Setting up my own company was one of my dreams. It took me years to finally stop making excuses.

    I am sure you recognize some of them:
    🌩️ I don’t have enough financial stability yet
    🌩️ I don’t know that it’s a good business idea
    🌩️ I am sure somebody else has already launched this kind of business
    🌩️ My current job is too important to quit
    🌩️ If it doesn’t work out, everybody will think I am a loser
    🌩️ I need more time to think about it
    🌩️ Others say that I am not an entrepreneur

  • What are your dreams? More importantly, what are your 101 excuses?
