7 Deadly Excuses That May Be Holding You Back (Especially #3)
“Nonetheless, when you’re called to do something, you can’t make excuses. This was a perfectly gifted man who had every reason to succeed, yet, he made excuses.”
-Daniel Ally, entrepreneur.com
I don’t know a single boomer male friend of mind who wouldn’t like to do something a bit more fulfilling in their third act. It could be making more money, building a business or simply working on a cause that makes them feel better at the end of the day. 
But too many of us have these built-in excuses at the ready anytime we start thinking about a better life. I say it’s time to say good-bye to those crutches and break through to loving your life. Here are the 7 deadly excuses you need to kick to the curb for good.
1.”I’m Not Educated Enough”: Many of us have been brainwashed into believing that we have to “go to school and get a job.” Because of this, people disable themselves from a race that they could have won.
2.”I Don’t Have Enough Experience”: Frankly, we all have experience. It’s called “life experience.” We can use this for any kind of work we are involved with.
3.”I’m Too Old”: Age doesn’t matter, unless you think it does. Most people let others tell them that they are too old or young. This excuse only leads to other excuses.
4.”I Don’t Have the Health”: Franklin Delano Roosevelt had polio and was still able to run for three terms during the biggest depression in American history. You can do anything if you put your mind and heart to it.
5.”I Don’t Have Enough Time”: People who “don’t have time” generally don’t want to make the time. They want the success, but they won’t make it a priority. We all have time to make it happen.
6.”No One is Supporting Me”: You have to search diligently for people who will be aligned with the goals you have set for yourself. People are looking for you as much as you’re looking for them.
7.”I Don’t Have the Money”: This the biggest excuse on the list. In fact, most people make the other excuses to avoid admitting this one. The fact is that we all have money, but we have to learn how to use it. Most people simply don’t want to use their creativity to make their dreams happen.
