    I guess most of us will share same characteristics.
    1. By and large we are all very optimistic
    2. Unbelievably stubborn
    3. Get bored easily
    If you have started your own internet business from scratch; you have invested in it financially and emotionally
    Turning round to friends and family admitting you don't have what it takes is a heartbreaking prospect​

    Has anybody ever been honest to admit there not up to the job? in a time a where we are all very good at assessing what where good at

    It takes a special person to admit that they are the reason they are not up to it, rather than looking for something else to blame​

    On a brighter note;
    Working for yourself, creating a successful company that makes people and customers happy:) is a remarkable journey you can go on


    Fear Nothing: So ask yourself this isn't it time you took your first step? if not now when? why wait because if you don't, somebody else will!

    Regret is a bruise that never goes away!


    Accept the Highs and Lows


    Life is a roller-coaster

    I liked your views, some people get success while some not, we need to think of positive things only and they would lead to success and you would be able to fulfill your desire.

    I agree what you say but I want to give some advice for being stubborn and being optimistic. I think the best way to overcome these two, you can watch Dragons' Den and Shark Tank. Because in those programs they are actually helping potential entrepreneurs by questioning their facts and ideas.

    I like this quote
    My father used to say that it's never too late to do anything you wanted to do. And he said, 'You never know what you can accomplish until you try.'

    I have found that it is critically important to watch what you watch on TV... Emotions are contagious, especially emotions experienced from television.

    You MUST watch programs with driven, motivated, optimistic people. Avoid programs where people hurt others for fun - avoid them like they cause cancer or will make your dick/breasts shrivel up. Strangely enough, this means lots of reruns of older programs.

    Stay away from cynical programs or programs filled with pain.

    Good shows: Shark Tank, The Unit; MASH; Christian programming; James Bond movies; Bourne movies; Ocean's Eleven (both of them), Twelve, and Thirteen; etc

    AVOID THESE SHOWS: Married with Children; reality TV; any series on premium cable like The Borgias; Hannibal; The Kardassians; etc.

    That's an interesting attitude. Can you tell us more?

    I have to admit
    I don't really agree with your TV opinion because........
    at the end of the day TV is there for everybody and all people have different sense of humours etc...

    Surrounding yourself with positive like minded people, is more important then monitoring -
    what tv you watch.

    It's proven - TV affects you big time. Look at all the people Star Trek inspired.
