Gabriel_sylar: Now this the kinda of thing FRONT PAGE should be about NOT RUKY SANDALS.....

AND TONTO DIKE STORIES

hmmm things that hinder a man's success? i know one- marrying a money gobbling, high maintenance, gold diggin b!tchh! they've ruined the future of many promissing men ask 190

There's too much politics.

The oga is a Yoruba man or an Igbo lady and he/she does not like my face.

molisk:
7. He/she is responsible for my failure

IMHO, this is the greatest of them, whoever one holds responsible for one's failure is the person one has given the permision to control one's life.

Better try and fail, than never.

fellis: Some of these excuses can also protect one from failure, excuses like
-It is risky (it might actually be risky and meant to be avoided)
or
-It might not work. Because whatever plan it is might actually fail and lead to loss of money and time.

even wen it looks perfect u nva knw wat the outcome wud be..ah guess dats the beauty of life

so i'l rather go 4 it and fail than shy away cos u might end up missin the real opportunity

Another point..............nigeria economy is not encouraging

What will ppu say?

Beautiful writeup U̶̲̥̅̊ gat there.

You forgot to add religion.

greatgod2012: Another point..............nigeria economy is not encouraging

lol. ppl say that about america.

ex:

nagger: "they (the 'system') are trying to hold the black man down".

and then you ask, "well did you put in applications?"

nagger: *silence*



so another excuse would be one's "race/ethnicity".

Hello Nairalanders,
If you check properly, at the bottom of ALL of these excuses is the ugly head of "MR FEAR OF FAILURE". The fear of failure gives birth to the fear of starting,which comes from the fear of losing money and on, and on, and on, and you find yourself on the same spot the year round and all the years.
Have you ever pondered on the fact that there is virtually no truly successful entrepreneur or business person who has NEVER FAILED before.

All i know is that "NOTHING VENTURES, NOTHING WINS". Failure is not a resting place. Failure is a necessary and painful ingredient for SUCCESS.

Ask Dangote. Ask Bill Gate. Ask any honestly successful business person.

molisk: Let's pose this to Nairalanders!

Which excuse do you relate yourself to? It could or could not be from the list.

I dont give excuses, i just do it.

Excuses irritate me. Cause i know someone somewhere has already achieved that for which another is giving an excuse. You must have a lion heart to avoid excuses. Most times, our fears make us shy away from taking the bull by the horn.

JUST DO IT BABY.....

Revolva: 11. Nigeria is too hard to be an enterpreneur!! (Loans, electricity)

Yes it is hard being an entrepreneur in Nigeria. I am so i know.

But Dangote, Adenuga made it so i must. #Just saying....

Fear of the unknown and inertia to act/start are characters of a naive/starter. Every business has a risk element. The higher the risk, the higher the returns.

Truth is if you dont fail at it, you wont know how to succeed at it. So you must start. But gather as much information as possible in any line of business venture you are planning towards before you plunge in. Even in loss making, it is also a business skill to know when to pull out. Making losses in a business doenst mean the business isnt viable. It may be a wrong season for the business, you may be running some unnecessary overhead/costs, your staff may be inexperienced, you may need to do something differently to cross the profit line.

I'll start tomorrow.

I just looked at your profile picture and your previous posts and they tell much about who you really are; ---- I ain't your mate kid!!

* Being comfortable with being average.
* It has never been done. Inability to think outside the box.
* Basking in the euphoria of yesterday's glory when you are failing comfortably today.
* Pride, lacking the humility to engage in something you think is below your qualification while working toward the bigger picture.

pawa4ul: 11. I can't do it.

#12. NA MY STEP MOTHER FROM VILLAGE.
13. THERE IS A MILLION YEAR OLD CURSE IN OUR FAMILY
14. I AM NOT SOWING ENOUGH SEED OFFERING IN CHURCH
15. I AM WAITING FOR ONE DADDY PASTOR TO LAY HANDS ON ME 1ST

some say they are not successful in their careers and business because of the nigerian govt. while others believe that without American or European visas they cannot be successful in life

I BELIEF THE GREATEST ARE:

Fear

ego,me,doing such job

what would pple say if they see doing this

fear of critism

caring about wat pple wil say...

some ll say 'i don't ve money' or 'nobody in mi family is supporting me'
or 'if only my uncle will help me'

Factual fact.

nidera: Factual fact.

@op
Thanks
