Seven Business Quotes

Burt Ropiha, Director, Aardvark Works

We have all heard business quotes but in this article, I tackle the seven negative drivers holding us back from success.

What is it about the human condition that compels us in business to either take action or to not take action?

I can tell you that I am not a trained or qualified psychotherapist, psychologist, counsellor or any other expert in the field- but I have an opinion so here goes!

#1 FEAR

“It’s okay you will make mistakes”

Fear can have a tremendous impact on our ability to take action and left untamed can inhibit your progress.

You have two choices. Submit to fear and stay in the same position or take a bold step. Mentally brace yourself and walk through the fear anyway aiming for the other side regardless.

Of course, there are no guarantees that you will achieve what you were aiming for exactly, but at least you did try.

The very act of stepping through the fear will give you an unexpected result that you had not anticipated- strength. That result is a new sense of self-awareness that it is possible to move through uncertainty and fear.

This new sense of self-awareness makes it possible to move through uncertainty and fear when obsticles rear themselved in the future.

“The very act of stepping through the fear will give you an unexpected result that you had not anticipated- strength”

We all know their life can be difficult at the best of times yet we all must move through fear and uncertainty to experience growth. 

Working through fears owning a business is no different- the biochemical response is exactly the same.

Nobody is saying that you shouldn’t be afraid because there will be moments of fear and uncertainty at some point.f you take a deep breath and take the first step regardless you’ll be surprised at how strong you really are.

However, if you take a deep breath and take the first step regardless you’ll be surprised at how strong you really are.

This often leads to doors of opportunity they would not have happened if you had not taken the first step even out of fear.

#2  Jealousy

“For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder”
