Failure to start making your own dream come true is like a disease that, in the end it will  affect your life as time pass, you will sit and look back what you could have achieved but you just lost  'your best opportunity' in life.

In our article WHY MOST PEOPLE FAIL TO START TURNING THEIR GREAT IDEAS INTO REAL PROJECTS we saw factors that cause many people not to start their projects. These factors are like symptoms to you if you experience them, you know that you may not start your project unless you take necessary measures to address them.

In today's article, we will see possible ways to start turning our dreams true despite many obstacles we face:

Alternative Ways of Starting What You Want:
-Have you thought of different ways of doing what you wish to do other than the one that is currently on your head. For instance, you may be thinking of doing an international business-  alternatively you may start doing it locally first.
-You also may consider instead of doing a whole project once, you can divide the project into phases, have a plan how to do each phase and start with the first phase as soon as possible.
-You may also consider designing the project or idea and sell it to let someone  else who can  do it instead of you doing it.

Alternative Ways of Acquiring Resources:
-You might have told yourself that you don't have necessary resources like money or materials to start your project and you just can't get that resources because you don't have source of income  to earn all that money you need for your project.
It is time now to consider the following:
  • Ask assistance from friends, family members, colleagues, mentors or other associates that you have.
  • You may also consider selling something to raise income for starting your particular project.
  • You can also create partnership with those you think may help you in acquiring resources, in return these people or organizations may offer resources like money for you to start your business. For instance, some people decide to go for an internship as a step forward to getting their dream job.
  • You can also look for free services or free products. With the availability of internet you can access a number of sources of free services and free products such as free software downloads, free website hosting, free books,free template documents or free expert advice.
  • You may also want to consider having a partner to share how  capital required can be raised. You should have in depth study of the partner you want to associate yourself because not every person can be a good business partner.

Consider Alternative Ways of getting things done:
This is for those who think they are too busy or not fit enough to run a particular project. Here is what to consider:
  • Delegate powers, get assistant to work for you or do in collaboration with someone else. 
  • You should also consider to set priorities, manage your time because without managing your time you may not know how productive your really are with your time.
  • Know yourself better and what time you are productive. Some people are very productive at night, some in the morning, some in the afternoon. Use your productive time - magic time to think clearly, arrange your plan and get going.

Winning your fear of failure
  • Get yourself a mentor to advice and guide you
  • Get more mind opening information that will let you know more about that particular project or dream you want to pursue. The information will help you to learn more techniques and let you be more confident.
  • You should be inspired by those who tried, failed but they never quit, in turn they became successful.
  • Find motivation for starting your project. Think of the positives of you starting this project, how it will change lives of people, your life and those around you.

What if you are just lazy to start it ?
If you are just lazy, you may be implying that you want someone else decide and prepare your future, you may be implying are the boss to those you think they should things for you, however, you may be creating your own slavery.
If this is your case, remember:
  • You are fooling yourself.
  • You are guilty of abusing your power of making choice. Instead of making good choices that can benefit you, and your generation you choose to let this go. You may not be taken to court of law for abusing this power, but you will get punished by life itself, you are building your own downfall.
  • Fortunately  there is always chance to change, you can change now, choose not to be lazy, start little by little to overcome what makes you lazy. Tell yourself this what you are in is a slavery and there is no one else who can free you, except yourself.
