TED Fellow and Brazilian entrepreneur, Bel Pesce, discusses the 5 myths that will keep you from completing or even starting your dream projects. Remember these pitfalls and turn them into your business motivation moving forward.
Whether you have decided to start a new business, have reached a peak with an existing one, or are struggling through the trenches of your 2-year-old start-up; remaining motivated toward your business goals can be a difficult part of the process for any business owner. But instead of focusing on more ways to stay motivated, it is just as important to be aware of what can keep you away from achieving your business dreams.
For insight on this topic, we have consulted the best research source available for a peek into the human psyche, TED Talks. In October of 2014, Bel Pesce presented a TED talk discussing the 5 tips to destroying your dreams. In it, she discusses how easy it is to fall into the trap of inadvertently stopping yourself from achieving the most in your business, education, life, or any combination of the three.
Bel Pesce’s 5 Tips to Keep You From Your Dreams
- Believe in Overnight Success
- Believe Someone Else has the Answers for You
- Decide to Settle when Growth is Guaranteed
- Believe the Fault is Someone Else’s
- Believe that the Only Things that Matter are the Dreams Themselves
By identifying the flaws in people’s way of thinking, Bel Pesce creates the best type of business motivation; the motivation to do it right! Without obstacles, your business dreams would be easy for anyone to achieve. So stay driven and remember: even when you have reached a peak, “There’s no time to settle down.”
