two issues i see when i talk to dreamers

1. they are usually the low income people who are used to not having any money at the end of the month.. the issue with this is they are at the end where they have nothing to lose and have every opportunity to gain. even if they start slow. like dedicate just $10 to buy a product they can sell for $30. then use that $30 to buy 3xproducts. and repeat until self sustainable to take an income whilst still selling

2. dreamers feel to start off they need to start big. meaning if they have no spare income of $thousands they think they cannot start a business/idea. however they are wrong. anyone can start small. you just have to prioritise and plan your way forward. it might be a longer path but its a safer path that can grow with less risk

The list @OP shows the traits and ideology of a pessimist person.  In entrepreneurs, there is no room for pessimist people.  Optimistic people are those who dare to challenge the risk, learn from their past experience, and love to prove their idea over the idea killers that their idea is not wrong.  Optimistic people mostly experience success in their endeavors because they take life in a possitive outlook, of course, their actions also consider risk factors but they mitigate them by analyzing situations and planning for the best approach.

For an optimistic entrepreneur, nothing can be a hurdle and every problem has its solution.
but I think optimistic entrepreneur also should know when to be realistic, if thing just doesn't work then it just doesn't work, you don't force your business to work just because youre optimistic while at loss because it will result in even bigger problem that is strangling yourself with debt.
i think businessman should always be realistic with a little flavour of optimistic, basically balance of the two, with being overly pessimistic someone will get nothing done.
because business isn't as easy as many have pictured out to be, its really difficult thing to do so much stress, so much pressure and need to be really effective at doing things since we are constrained with limited capital.
The country where I live has a good old saying ''think positively to receive positivity''

Positivity makes us stronger, but perhaps @poodle63 also needs to look at the problem more simply when we all understand reality and should not do things beyond our ability to achieve target. I know that successful people need to go through different lessons of failure until they learn the lesson.

And IMO, positivity should be understood more through action, such as having a healthy lifestyle in life.

There's a saying that I instilled upon myself every time I face crossroads between taking risks and cutting my profits/losses. "You risk more by not doing anything"

Of course this doesn't apply to everything involving business and whatnot, but it has been a great gauge/motivator for me whenever I feel like I'd pass off an opportunity just cause either I deem myself incapable of it, not cut for it, or whenever I feel like the opportunity has passed already. More often than not the limits we have are self-imposed, and when you let go of these limits in exchange for action that will defy your ceilings, you'd find out just how much capable of doing so much more you would be. It took a lot of missed opportunities and failed attempts for me to get where I am now, and I can't say I've stopped committing these mistakes as it's a normal life process, but the fact that I am committing mistakes is testament itself that I am doing something instead of nothing, and frankly speaking it's much better than lying around waiting for stuff to change for you.

On a normal note, it is very easy to have dreams but difficult to archive them, and there are major factors that contribute to a successful dream or entrepreneur, like you said. I think the first thing is to have the required resources to even start chasing your dreams.

One could have a dream of becoming one of the best doctors in their state and also having the best private hospital in that state, but the person with such a dream might not have at that moment even the money to further their education through the university. Therefore, it could just become a dream all their life until it's no longer a dream that can be archived due to how age has really affected them.

You can even have a dream to become one of the most successful entrepreneurs, a business tycoon both national and international, but you will keep striving to achieve all of that but don't really get to the extent of what your mind is telling you.

👉👉Fear of been a failure

👉👉Failure to embrace risk


This is where most people do really lack on, because of having that kind of behavior then you would really be missing out those good opportunities or chances that in your front on which
it might really be causing for you to make some profits but since you are really that afraid on taking up the risks then you wont really be doing something or sitting idle.
You would really be just making or saying those regrets on the time that you do see that the price had risen up or something that value had increased which leaves you that making those regrets
and keep telling the you should have made out such decision but well its already late.

You could have those unlimited dreams but since you dont make out any actions then it would really be just remaining to be a dream. If you do like to make it come true
then you should act and make those things happen on making such step and not really just make yourself that daydreaming.

There is one thing I know for sure, you won't have a result if you don't try, some people already fail before they try, and some get motivated based on what others around them are doing, and once they see such people failed, they will lose their motivation too.

Leave failure for later, try and see what will happen, just because A failed to achieve something doesn't mean B will end up with the same result, we have mistakes because of progress, if you are too afraid of making mistakes you will never improve in life.

Everything you said is true OP, the only thing standing between failure and success is hope, when everything turn to impossible, that little hope that's left in you can open a door for you.

After all this is said and done, let's not forget that happiness is the key, do not be too carried away by what you want to achieve, you can still feel empty after getting it all, so do not forget to live your lives to the fullest, be happy and spend time with your love ones, time is running out.

The world is full of great ideas. Many people have brilliant ideas but only few can bring them to action. This is what really separates a successful entrepreneur from a dreamers. Some can read 100 of self-help books but all they know is the theory aspect of life because they have failed to put all or part of what they have read in action. They keep saying "I should be the first person to have started this business in this community" after seeing people making it from such business. Reasons why people may fail to put their ideas into action:

👉👉Fear of been a failure
Fear is one great factor that can easily kill dreams. Failure shouldn't be an obstacle for you to achieve your dream. Alot of billionaire today has once failed in the history of their life. Check out this my article (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.60900070) on Rejection, failure and disappointment, its impact on ones achievement... From this you will see that sometimes one needs to fail in life to grow.

👉👉Failure to embrace risk
To achieve in life, you must learn to embrace risk. Everything in life is risk. Mr Johnson has $2000 and he said to himself. The economy doesn't favour any business and I don't want to lose my money, so let me just keep it in bank . He has forgotten that the bad economy system will also hit the money in his account.

👉👉Laziness and procrastination
Laziness and procastination may work together to kill ones dream. Some aren't too lazy to work on their idea but just that they keep delaying things by proponing the development of their ideas till tomorrow. They always say"I will start it tomorrow" but their tomorrow never ends. Always remember someone may has same idea you have in mind. Being early to enter the market before the person can be an added advantage for you.

👉👉Sharing ideas with Idea Killers
Idea Killers can be anyone. It can be your close friend, family or neighbour. Telling them your ideas may easily kill your dream. They easily give you hundreds of reasons why the idea may not work and this may therefore kill the idea in you.

👉👉Fear of losing their money.
Fear of losses is a great threat to success. This can easily stop you from being able to think clearly about that your good idea. Sometimes you need to lose some money to later make it big with your idea. Never be turn down by your failure. If you lose money to a business, all you need to do is to analyze the reason and the mistakes you made for such to have happened. This should teach you a lesson and not to fall into such mistake next time.

👉👉Holding on past experiences and beliefs
Some people kill their dream through their past experience or experience they got through someone close to them. They said to themselves Mr Charles did thesame business and fail after investing alot of money. Instead of analysising the mistakes Mr Charles had made that had lead to the downfall of his business, they just easily conclude that such idea may also not work for them.

👉👉Lack of self confidence
Some people don't have confidence in themselves. They never believe they can do it alone. Self confidence is highly needed if you want your idea/business to be successful.


CONCLUSION
Alot of people today blame themselves for what they have failed to do some years ago. The idea you failed to develop year ago may be the success story of another person that turn him/her to a rich person. Life is just about risk. Risk that money in your account into your ideas without minding what people will say, put in all your possible best for the idea to become successful and become a successful entrepreneur rather than a dreamer.

I definitely agree with most of what you've written here and seen that the most successful, self made, people apply many of these points to their day to day lives. Having a hustler mentality is often at the core of most entrepreneurial and free thinking people, where they are always on the hunt for reasonable trade offs in the pursuit of profits. Life is one constant game of risk and sometimes you have to step outside your comfort zones in order to gain new experience. People who come up with successful stock market strategies that bring them money, only learned how to do that by putting their own money at risk and even making a bunch of bad trades but they used the knowledge gained to improve afterwards.

Indeed, there are many factors that cause someone who already has lots of business ideas in their head but is unable to start the business at all. These factors are lack of financial capital and insight, lack of courage to take risks because they are too afraid of failure before even taking the first step. People who are afraid of failure before even taking a step are like soldiers who have lost even before going to war.

That's why there are many people who prefer to be in a safe and comfortable zone. like being a regular employee. But people who have more courage will usually get out of their comfort/safety zone and take on risky challenges. Of course, after making careful planning. So between dreamers and successful people there is actually only a slight difference, namely their courage.

When you have a dream but you never think about it or follow it up and put it in the form of a plan then it is not a dream but it is just wishful thinking.
And I advise that when you dream, dream as high as possible so that when you fall, you will fall among the sparkling stars. And when you have that dream, keep trying as hard as possible to make it come true. If on the way to achieving this dream you experience difficulties and encounter very serious problems, then you just need to remember that great surfers are not born from small waves. And you need to know that every difficulty you face and every big problem you encounter, whether you realize it or not, is what will lead you to the gate of success.
Many people simply stop at thinking what they want and they fail to pursue it as they know that actually achieving what they want is very difficult, basically people want to become rich but they do not want to take all the steps necessary to become rich, however someone with that mentality will never go far, since we know very well that in order to achieve anything in this life we need to take risks and be willing to waste our time and our savings pursuing a goal we may not reach.

Being wealthy and having financial freedom is what everyone wants but it's not our ultimate goal. Stop fantasizing and expecting too much because it won't do you any good and it won't change your life in the slightest. All you have to do is keep trying your best and keep improving your knowledge, skills and creativity as a form of your first step towards success. So first do a maximum effort, about the results later. Rich is not the main goal, because later if you succeed and have skills in doing business then you will get wealth and financial success.

To achieve all this, never be afraid to take a risk, because sometimes it is not the difficulty that makes us afraid but the fear that makes us difficult to step so that whatever we do becomes full of doubts.

They are afraid on taking risks and even if they are that accepting such risks but they dont really have the capital on starting so.This is why we cant really that making some conclusion in regards about the situation
We are all social creatures, "You have acquaintances and I have acquaintances" & "You have friends and I have friends". Indeed, when we talk about finance, almost everyone who wants to start a business is plagued by this problem, but don't let this problem become a cause of your steps being stalled until you have to decide to bury the big dream deep. Keep trying and take advantage of existing relationships, because I'm sure if you have good intentions, honest and responsible behavior, there will always be people who will lend a hand to help you answer all the problems that exist.

I want to add one more really point into that.

Fear of losing their family while pursuing dream

Yeah, it may look add from others but still, it is one of the reasons why the majority of the ones who are filled with ideas can't afford to chase their dreams cause they might be the only person who can feed the family, or thousand other reasons like that which we may experience/ passed/heard is also stop them from doing what they can potentially do because they may not have the financial stability to run the family if there is no income generated from that person so they all keep doing even if they wish they could do something better.


This is really true, and I have met several people who had a huge potential from being successful but hinders them from reaching it because of family matters.
For instance, there are people who used to excel in the academe but was forced to stop their studies because they had no choice for, they are the only one that is expected to provide for their families. This is a matter of family over dreams, and of course, family is still the top priority (for others) even if it means that you have to give up on your dreams. So, I think the support of your family plays a major role in pushing you to succeed in this field, and that will help your ideas to be taken into action. This is quite sad, but this is really happening in real life as I have known a lot of people who share the same narratives like this.  But there are people who gave up their dreams for a moment, and then continue pursuing it and become successful entrepreneurs.

This is one of the realities of life. There are breadwinners who are just giving up their dreams because they need to choose earning money over their passion to support their lives and bring food to their table. But those people that have dreams and despite the situation that they're facing, they won't just give up their dreams. They find a way to support their families and at the same time, they're pursuing their dreams. This doesn't just happen in movies and films but also in real life. And even when they reach their goals and dreams, they're not going to stop supporting their family because it's like in the blood of those family-oriented people and will do whatever it takes to do both things, to show the love to their family and also to reach the dream that they're wanting to achieve. IMO, these days, most of the families are changing their mindsets and parents don't want to pass the burden of theirs to their kids and letting them do what they wanna do.

A business man that stays with his family, is best to move along with them. There is no way he'll lose his family because of business. Unless, he traveled and left his family behind. If he leaves enough money for his family before traveling, he may not lose his family, even. Planning, consistency and courage fuels business growth and ideas. Not anybody can do it alone. Many would need help in the process. Hence, working together with the family can be effective. They could be your best business advisers, partners or participants. Depending on the level of understanding in the family. But, its common among business people, their family joins them. So, a family man who cares, can't fail his family for business. Unless he's working to set up a fresh family. A successful business from an unsuccessful family, in terms of cooperation, will suffer losses. Personally, I'd say that a man can as well work with his family on a business and end up being very successful. In accordance with what he offers to the society. Some locations may be lacking out on some services, and would need special services on the utility, and no one to handle or sell it to them. These are important research to make, before setting up a business. Not just filling up the brain with thoughts and no action. Once a person is sure that what they're about to offer the society is on demand, they shouldn't be scared of setting up the business. Fine it may not start immediately, but he'll gain customers. I don't see family as a hindrance.

Risk that money in your account into your ideas without minding what people will say, put in all your possible best for the idea to become successful and become a successful entrepreneur rather than a dreamer.
Sometimes the ideas they get from reading books cannot be realized because they collide with their capital and mindset.
Many people think that capital is the main key, but we can see that many successful entrepreneurs maximize what they have, starting from something quite small but slowly becoming a successful business, because that's how it should be.
Reading books is very good for changing mindsets but practicing them is much better, and a businessman should not be afraid of failure and also losing money because that is part of success in business.

👉👉Fear of been a failure
Fear is one great factor that can easily kill dreams.

Fear is the abundance that drives you to success more than determination. If the exam or the job you are going to join means a matter of life or death, you will be more focused and diligent in it than someone who loves perseverance and strives to achieve more. If you use the emotion of fear well, you will find great energy that will enable you to perform tasks that you are unable to do in normal days.

Fear can never drive you to success. It rather kill your strength to achieve success. Do you know how many people that have failed an examination or job interview due to fear. I've seen a situation where a student grew an exam fever due to the fear of such examination. A fearful person that want to address an audience will rather say rubbish out fear even when he/she knows what he is suppose to say. Being confidence is the to anything one is doing in life. Sometime, your rubbing address in a public talk can earn you multiple of claps just because you are confidence with what you are saying.

Alot of people today blame themselves for what they have failed to do some years ago. The idea you failed to develop year ago may be the success story of another person that turn him/her to a rich person. Life is just about risk. Risk that money in your account into your ideas without minding what people will say, put in all your possible best for the idea to become successful and become a successful entrepreneur rather than a dreamer.

The factors you mentioned may lead you to failure, but applying them does not necessarily mean success. You avoided failure, which is the easy option, but success is the more difficult option, which requires more effort and experience in drawing up strategies, implementing them, and then withdrawing profits.

I don't really understand how this factors I mentioned can lead someone to failure. Although applying them all doesn't guarantee one will achieve maximum success but it part of the challenges most entrepreneurs should look into for success in their business.

👉👉Lack of self confidence
Some people don't have confidence in themselves. They never believe they can do it alone. Self confidence is highly needed if you want your idea/business to be successful.
The difference between a dreamer and a doer is that a doer is someone who has taken action, and a prompter to take action is a strong believe that you can achieve what you have planned, this if fueled by believe, especially the believe that you have in your own abilities. Self believe beats the believe that other people have in you because it is motivating from within. Believe does not think that there will be no problems or obstacles to success, believe eliminates doubt that the problems will be unsolvable.

because there are several factors or reasons on which it would really be a big hindrance for you to be able to make up such step and really that giving you no way for such progress since we dont really have no choice specially on the time that we dont have capital or money to start with on which this is the biggest challenge i would say and the other or next will be talking about being lazy or not risks taker.
Monetary issues would really be that common but not all entrepreneur's started up with having big capital but still manage to succeed on this space.

It do matters always on how you would really be trying out to pursue those goals or targets on which it isnt something that could really be easily be that
achieved without having that real hardwork and dedication.
