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 (

👉👉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.
CONCLUSIONAlot 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.
