I find the “cushy job” resonates with me most. I’m 20 and would like to enter the entrepreneurship world and stop being answerable to someone else, but, when I think of the struggles and the months of possible no income.. I worry. Deep down, I know its my comfortable and plentiful pay that’s really setting me back. No kids, no rent, no monthly bills, i might as well take the leap!

A post on mentorship would be great!

As rolls swell in the recession, workers find firms are contesting claims by alleging wrongdoing or quitting in a bid to not pay benefits.

Is removing hurdles not the easy way, and won’t you fall back in your old patterns as soon as these hurdles reappear in some form? Isn’t it more important to learn to jump the hurdle, than to remove it? Otherwise we never get good on the track.

Great this post reminds of a very good quote by Randy Pausch “Brick walls are there for a reason. They let us prove how badly we want things.”

Very well said, AJ. I would however rephrase it this way - “The only person stopping you from success, is yourself, so get out of YOUR way!”

Good post. I’m in the process of removing the “eating healthy” hurdles right now. I’m glad to see you’ve bumped up your font size on comments too Much easier to read now. Were you at Affiliate Summit? I just got back.

Yeah you can remove the hurdles but then track becomes boring and predictable. With some hurdles you can at least get some excitement, or just laugh at the person who falls into the hurdle.

Great post and great picture you got there, You are absolutely right about the need to get rid of hurdles. Like you mentioned, one of the biggest hurdles in the road to success is when people spend MAJOR time on MINOR issues. That’s a sure way to failure. Instead, like Jim Rohn and many of the other great motivational speakers have advised, we should spend MAJOR TIME on MAJOR issues and minor time on minor issues, not the other way around. Thanks once again for a great post, Andy.

Love the track analogy… Sometimes the quickest way to the finish line is to take two steps backwards and one step forward. The easiest way to avoid the hurdles you create is to look at your self as other would or even better yet yet other for opinions.
