Feel free to post those excuses/myths/lies/beliefs your mind conjured up ( or still conjures up )for you as you decided to change your life.

- Boy! @MJ DeMarco lives in America where it works. Nigeria is a bad economy so it won't work here.

- You think you can fit a side business into your daily schedule? Get real!
