HOW TO REMOVE ROADBLOCKS TO SUCCESS
What are the chances that you will succeed in business?
And if you won't succeed, why waste your time?
In this article, I'm going to teach you how to have greater chances of success by first removing the roadblocks.
The first roadblock that you need to remove is: DISTRACTION
There is very heavy traffic out there. Everywhere you look, there’s someone offering something. Emails, social media, all types of advertising imaginable. Each one has something good to say.
If you’re just starting your business, or thinking of starting one, looking at all these options can be overwhelming. Who do you follow? What online class should you sign up for? What blogs should you read? What groups should you join?
To remove this roadblock, you need to FOCUS.
Ask yourself these questions:
The second roadblock is: GETTING STUCK
It’s so easy to get carried away on social media. I can just look at IG posts of thought leaders I follow, watch their videos, read their posts, and before long, I’ve spent an hour doing nothing but stare at my phone.
Or I can be jumping from one networking group to the next, meeting as much people as I can, but barely getting anything done in my business.
Or I can be doing my research and watching YouTube videos on how to be an effective coach, without knowing where to go from there.
This is where a lot of people are.
They are stuck!
To remove this roadblock, you need DISCIPLINE.
The third roadblock is: LACK OF RESOURCES
When I finally decided to do a more serious YouTube business channel, I had a list of things I didn’t have, and it overwhelmed me. It was not just the “things” but the “how to’s”.
I didn’t have the right camera, the right light, etc. I started watching videos of other coaches and I got more overwhelmed. I almost didn’t do it.
My first video was not good, but I kept trying and I’m getting so much better.
Lack of resources includes money, connections, and tools.
To remove this roadblock, you need to UTILIZE WHAT YOU HAVE. Start from there.
There are tons of free resources everywhere. What you need is resourcefulness, determination, and commitment.
You don’t have money? Start small. Use your phone, computer, and whatever else you have. No connections? Join groups, interact with people, and attend events.
I wanna add something to this roadblock that is somehow related to it. Someone recently told me, “I’ve always wanted to have a business but I don’t think I’m that creative.”
It’s not about creativity but resourcefulness. It’s not about creativity but fulfilling what you are passionate about. It’s not about creativity but knowing YOUR OWN UNIQUENESS and embracing that.
DO NOT LET ANY ROADBLOCK STOP YOU FROM FULFILLING YOUR DREAM BUSINESS.
And now that you know what these roadblocks are and how to remove them, apply what you’ve learned.

To remove this roadblock, you need to FOCUS.
Ask yourself these questions:
- What is it that I really want to do?
- If you’re still exploring what business is good for you, focus on who you are, your uniqueness. What can you offer? What are you good at? What is your passion?
- While it’s good to look at businesses that are in-demand, you need to focus on who you are.
- This way, you can filter the distractions.
- If it ain’t lining up with who you are and what you can do, don’t waste your time.
- What do I currently need?
- Do you need connections? Do you need clients? Do you need knowledge?
- List down what you currently need, not what you need next year, and focus on that.
- In joining networking groups for instance, choose what groups will address your current needs; otherwise, you will be joining all of them, leaving you no time for your business.
- What are my values?
- You may not be able to find anyone who share exactly the same values as you have, but you shouldn’t be wasting time on those who have opposing values as yours.

To remove this roadblock, you need DISCIPLINE.
- Have a list of what you need to accomplish.
- Create a schedule on a daily basis, and stick to it.
- Create a time frame for each ‘task’.
