Will you let this small problem stop you from becoming rich?

While trying the demo version of the divi wordpress theme I ran into a couple problems. I took a break and thought about all the minor and even major inconveniences I'll run into on my way to to becoming rich. During this break I thought about how minor something like this problem was and how letting this delay my execution would be irresponsible.

I thought "Will I let this small problem stop me from becoming rich?". Hell no! Even though this was a very minor inconvenience this question can be used for all sorts of problems. Will you let this problem or that inconvenience stop you from becoming a millionaire? I hope not. It helps me overcome challenges knowing after beating it I'm one step closer to the life I want.

I feel like having "small problems" like this is the norm.

Not losing momentum and developing strategies to overcome them is just part of doing business.

All the best,

Yep, they are most definitely the norm. Sometimes for me, and I assume others, who have never taken large enough steps to become successful might be turned off by even the smallest nuisance. Anything that helps is always nice :)

Scratch the word "problem".

Think of hurdles turning into stepping stones once you have overcome them.

I got this metaphor from @Andy Black - I suggest you read his threads/comments ;)

I hope they are turned off. I hope they quit at the sight of any problem. It just might mean less competition for me.

These problems, obstacles, hinderances (whatever you want to label them) are part of the process. Most people don't want to endure the process, but want the event. I love how MJ conveyed this notion in his book.

Overcoming adversity is part of life and business. In business, obstacles are flagrant barriers to entry. The bigger the obstacle, the bigger the potential reward - not only monetarily, but in experience, knowledge, confidence, etc.

Keep pushing.

This week I finally began SEO.
I thought its gonna be a cake walk because I have all the materials.

When I started doing it, I am stuck with a 1000 problems. My head is hurting.
What you felt is exactly what I felt today.

So thanks for this man.

Mental note: Field experience is king.
