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.

I can relate to those factors that despite having good ideas that are on my mind, I just can't execute them as I lack of many things. Forget about the funding as it's a normal problem from these startups.

But the actual establishment of that idea, making it into reality is the tough part. You are unsure of the result and it could even be the worst or the best experience based on your reactions.

Some may encourage you to keep on doing that idea but you'll just get from little to having no support at all. It's only you and a few believers will come out to keeping it up if there's no to little visibility of the potential result.

So many people fail in many things but they never stop dreaming. Risking money at a time when everyone is struggling may really be costly especially when your business also relies on the flow of clients.  With limited capital and a business that you aren't really passionate about is quite a bad mixture.

I have had my share of failures with my 1st and 2nd business and maybe because I do things at the same time. I wanna be a good father and a businessman. I fell on being a businessman but I make sure my kid likes me and we do things together. This at least I make sure won't fail.

It is okay to have plans but if actualization won’t be there then that plan will just be a story you could tell to other people. We hesitate ‘coz we don’t have enough courage to do so. Indeed, the consequence which is losing, is the biggest wall we should first break in order to meet success in our roads. And with regards to other people’s judgements, it is valid if you would react into those but to rely into such subjective viewpoints won’t push you to achieve more. Things are all in our hands for sure. Every struggle as well could be resolved as long as we qould have the drive or eagerness to do so. With regards to failure, there are just people who cannot handle such consequences but if you’re aware of it then you should have not continued in the first place.

You remind of countless stories of how people miss bitcoin at lower price but today, it is back to where almost everyone wish to have it but they are now scared to buy it. This is the risk they forget to include among them, without risk there is no potential and if you refuse to take it, you will regret when it grow because by the time everyone reap the fruit of their labour(patience), they will not get the chance to enjoy it.

Procrastination is deadly, it's one to avoid as a serious person, if that masters your body system, to do even a simple task will be like a load of laundry you want to do with hands, you will miss many of opportunities because you refuse to take them and those that are successful today never give procrastination a welcome hug in their life.

Everything you have said OP is true. It seems you were speaking to me.  In some cases, it is not money that is hindering us from achieving our dreams but simple things like procrastination and fear of the unknown. We need to take risks because it is even riskier not to take risks. Ideas rule the world so if you have one execute it.  There is no shame in failure because you have just gained some experience. Many great inventors and successful business executives failed so many times but they kept trying. You might be mocked or laughed at but you are better than people that never tried.

        -   All people want to succeed in life; that's why most people are afraid to try. Those who don't do anything yet think about the result immediately usually have negative thoughts in their minds. They are afraid of falling and of others saying negative things about what they are doing.

In these situations, when it comes to "success," there are only two things you can say: "Are you a dreamer," a type of person who "will do whatever it takes to get it," or a "daydreamer," who "will do" your best," which in the end is "your best wasn't good enough." Which one are you here or two?

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.


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.

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.
