I’d like to share with you “10 Reasons Why You're Probably Going to Fail” from a blog I ran across by Tony Morgan

  1. It’s not your passion. If it doesn’t make your
    heart beat fast or cause your mind to race when you’re trying to sleep,
    you’re probably doing the wrong thing.
  2. You don’t have a plan. You need a vision, and you
    need to identify specific steps to make that vision become reality.
    That includes a financial plan. (I happen to believe you need direction
    from God on this.)
  3. You’re waiting for it to be perfect. Test-drive
    it. Beta-test that new idea. You’ll fall into the trap of inaction if
    you think it has to be absolutely right from day one.
  4. You’re not willing to work hard. Everything worth pursuing in my life has involved discipline and perseverance.
  5. It’ll outgrow you. Keep learning. Keep growing. But more importantly, build a team of people including leaders that can be who you’re not.
  6. You’ve had success in the past. I’ve watched
    organizations hang on to a good idea for too long. Time passes.
    Momentum fades. It’s risky to let go of the past and jump on the next
    wave.
  7. You’re unwilling to stop doing something else.
    Complexity is easy. Simplicity takes discipline. You can’t build a
    healthy marriage if you’re unwilling to give up dating other women.
    Who/what do you need to stop dating?
  8. You won’t build a team of friends. Anyone can hire
    from a resume. You need to find people you want to share life with. In
    the long run, great relationships will get you out of bed in the
    morning.
  9. You won’t have the tough conversations. When
    breakdown happens (and it always does), someone needs to put on their
    big-boy pants and initiate the difficult conversation that leads to
    relational healing.
  10. You’re afraid of failure. When fear consumes you,
    it will cause you to do stupid things. You’ll let negativity distract
    you. You’ll embrace the known, and grow comfortable with mediocrity.
    The more often you fail, though, the more often you’ll find success

Now why am I sharing this with you? Well, these things just hit me hard and I wanted to share them with you. What do yall think – care to add to the list?
