The first thing I want you to understand is that you are the greatest enemy to your success. You need to be in full control of your life because you are the only person who can prevent yourself from succeeding. The people in your life, the government and the society cannot stop your success. The truth of the matter is that some people have better starting points in life than others. However, each and every person has an inbuilt capacity to succeed. In fact, some people who start at a lower point in life overtake those who begin a better point. The only differentiating factor is the decisions you make in life.

 

 

  1. Age has Caught up With Me

 

Never tell yourself that you are too old because you still have a mind that can work. You always have the time to succeed until that day when you will be dead. Students from all financial circumstances, all ages, and all social classes have a chance to succeed. Nobody is too old to learn something new. Therefore, you should not give up on your financial freedom or dream in life because you think age is not on your side.  

 

 

  1. I Cannot Succeed Without a College Degree

 

A college degree will assist you to secure a convention 9 to 5 job but not give you an assurance of success. The advantage of being an entrepreneur is that you become your own boss. No one needs a university degree to become a business person. Neither do you require a college degree to give yourself education. I have seen some students who become millionaires before they even graduate from college. A good example of a successful entrepreneurs who succeeded without a college degree is Mark Zuckerberg. Additionally, there are senior members of the society who graduated several years ago, and are in poverty.

 

 

  1. It’s Difficult to Make the First Step

 

Never tell yourself that it is very hard to start. I understand that it can be tough to make the initial step but you must show some initiative. The fact that you came across this article shows that you had some initiative to learn. You will come across several mentors who can teach you how to succeed in the field you choose. The hardest step in any journey is the first step and when you are at the entrance. You will be shocked with how thing move when you get started.

 

 

  1. The Time I have is Not Sufficient

 

This is one of the greatest lies you can hear from people who are struggling in life. there are very few people in life who don’t have enough time. If you have enough time to play video games or visit your social media platforms, you have a lot of time to build up your business and study what you love. The challenge with most of us is that we are naturally lazy. You may be busier than the other person but who cheated you that we are in a race. It’s better to report a small level of progress each day as long as you have an assurance of getting to your destination in the long run. There comes a time when you have to be ruthless with yourself.

 

 

In summary, most people don’t succeed in life because they tell themselves several lies. One thing you need to understand is that you can still succeed as long as you are breathing. You may take a longer period than your friends but the end justifies the means. You need to start from where you are because you are the only person who can block your success.
