“If lack of capital is what’s holding you back, wake up! You just have a BAD idea!”

“Excusitis”

How long my friend? How long will you keep waiting to find the capital your startup idea needs? Be honest, are you making daily progress? Do you even have a business plan? A sales pitch? Or are you simply sitting “licking your wounds?”

I can help with some good ideas! Over the years I developed a Ph.D. in “excusitis,” let me share with you a good one: Blame COVID-19! I mean, really, that’s just the perfect way to explain your defeat. Isn’t it?

So, what’s next? Give up? Game over? Ask yourself, could you possibly be playing the “blaming game,” just like I was?

What’s behind your lack of action? What’s the real cause for you remaining stuck? Self-awareness needed here!

Feel uncomfortable? That’s great news because you could stay stuck in this “blaming-game” forever!

The story of the boiling frog

There’s a popular fable that tells how a frog, when put suddenly in boiling water, it will instinctively jump out, but if the water is brought slowly to a boil, the frog will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death.

Move on!

“But Hector, you don’t understand! I have the perfect billion-dollar idea. I know this will be the next unicorn, I just need someone to introduce me to Elon Musk.”

Ok, maybe you do have the next billion-dollar idea, but recognize that if you’re not able to execute your marvelous idea, you MUST move on while the right time comes.
