"I Don't Know How" is a BS Excuse

The biggest excuse I hear today is when people who want to do more with their lives spew, "I don't know how"...
Tactics and knowledge today aren't what hold us as individuals back.
It's typically a few other things...
Remember, knowledge and tactics are easy to find with the internet, Facebook groups, connections you already have today.
So.. on to those few things...
1. You're Scared as HELL to Fail.
The fear of failure EATS at you. You WANT to push forward and do something important with your life, but the paralysis of not knowing if it'll work or not, keeps you in your current state of "getting by, just not happily."
2. Other People's Opinion
The thought of what other people will think when you take the leap of faith, build from the bottom, and fight to become something unique, can be crippling.
Having your best friends talk sh*t about you behind your back.
To have your family try to talk you out of your goals, NOT because they don't want you to succeed, but because they LOVE you so much, it scares them to death, thinking you may fail.
Trust me, I get it. I still to this day have people talk badly about me. They refuse to accept that I've been successful, so they continue to try to talk down of me. This is INEVITABLE- so learn to deal with it- and eventually LOVE IT.
3. You Don't Think You're Capable
You don't think you're meant to be special. You think only really talented, smart, rich, successful, educated people are meant to be "somebody" and do "important" things.
The truth of the matter is...
I've been blessed to meet lots of very successful people and guess what...
They're not that damn smart.
They're not that damn special.
They're not that damn talented.
They typically had a couple of things going for them...
1. They were action takers.
2. They weren't afraid to fail
Becoming somebody can be done by EVERYBODY.
Don't make the mistake of blaming the lack of understanding of tactics and techniques as the reason you don't and won't succeed.
There's a deeper reason. There's more to it than that.
You have EVERYTHING you need RIGHT NOW to become important (in your eyes). Just clear you're mind of these THREE things. Realize you live one f'n time. And MOVE forward.
