Just found this on the web- a lot that we can relate to our MS world...

"Reason Youre Not as Successful as You Should Be
#1 Laziness
I dont think theres an easy way to put this. I have to assume that youre lazy. Every single successful person works their butts off to get where they are. Its ok to be lazy. Just admit it. But dont whine about not being rich and successful, ok?
#2 Entitlement
Only a few people in the world are part of the lucky sperm club. You and me? We gotta work to get what we want. Quit thinking you are owed something. Youre not. Get to work.
#3 Fear
You are afraid, plain and simple. Afraid of looking silly. Afraid of what your friends and family will say. Afraid of everything. Look, youre either going to stop being afraid, or youre not. Nobody can convince you to stop. Imagine though... what awaits you when you stop with the fear excuses?
#4 Negativity
You may not realize it, but the people you associate with might be negative [orifices]. They could be * beings who dont want anyone to be successful. Get rid of them, now! Surround yourself with successful people. People you want to be like.
#5 Stop Thinking
How much do you want to bet you have paralysis by analysis? You think way too much about what you could or should do. Doers get what they want, and everyone else gets what they get. Stop analyzing and start doing.
#6 No Goals
You plan nothing. You believe that someway, somehow, everything you always wanted will just magically happen. So you play it by ear and wait. You need goals to shoot for. Otherwise, youre just treading water.
#7 They
Theres no they. Theres no secret group of people that controls your success or failure. Youve made that up to make you feel better about yourself. The truth is you, and you alone, control your success in life/business/everything. Its easy to blame them though, isnt it? Weak.
#8 No X Factor
You cant do it because youre not pretty enough. Or dont have a strong personality? You dont have the X factor? Wow, what an unbelievably lame excuse. The truth is even jerks, idiots and boring people can be just as successful as anyone else. Your problem is you dont believe it yet.
#9 Time Waste
Youre a classic time-waster. You spend hours and hours every day working on not-working. You do things that arent productive. How are you ever going to get anything done, or reach any goal if you keep wasting time? Youre not. So you might as well give up now if youre going to keep this path.
#10 Social B.S.
You spend way too much time in social media land.  You waste probably about 50% of your productive hours of the day doing this. The sad part is, you know it, but you cant stop. So you cant get anything done that matters.
#11 Think Small
You think way too small. You are constantly looking only a day or a week ahead instead of years ahead. Because of this, you never get anywhere, and you never lead; you always follow.
#12 Dont Want It
You dont really want to be successful. Sure, you like to dream about it like everyone else. But in your heart you are afraid of what might happen if you really get it. Thats B.S. fear your brain is feeding you. Success is change, and it feels really, really good. Tell your brain to shut the [foolishness] up.
#13 Dont Believe
You never believed that its possible. Society taught you that only a few exceptional people get what they want. Everyone else should just settle. If you really want to believe that, go ahead. The rest of us will be at the front of the line because we believe."

I'd say lack of knowledge would be what is holding back right now. I really don't know how to get to the next level in the game.

What's the definition of successful? What if I think I'm successful, and you think I'm not?

Not knowing what success is - only you can decide what success looks like for you

How 'bout?  :-\

#14 Business model
You chose a business with low entry barrier, reducing commission structure, excessive market competition, like products available for FREE, and having little voice in the overall business conduct.

When I went to art school, we used to practice saying, "Would you like fries with that?".

And when u you successfully adopt  all of those 13 points then you can consider yourself officially a modern slave of your own twisted values.


Im lazy and Im enjoying every moment of it and from all 13 I dont feel fear and dont blame nobody, have million of excuses
the last thing I want is to be what this society calls successful.

Actually, I  have a goal, its to live most happy life as I can and most of this points will only make me struggle achieving that goal  ;)

"Stop Thinking" , ya right...
