Thwart: to frustrate, foil, block, stop, or to obstruct, hinder or hamper.

Many of us are quitting before we've actually had the chance to put our business plans into motion. We often find that we're coming up with these great ideas and plans, but when the ball is ready to roll, we end it there. The reality is, plain and simply, we aren't ready to run a business. We like playing around with the idea of being in business for ourselves; who wouldn't? It's very empowering, enlightening and uplifting.
But then the realness of running a business comes into full view. You wake up and realize that, wow this really is hard work and the romantic idea of being an entrepreneur fades. You now understand that being in business for yourself is a huge challenge. It takes bravery, dedication and commitment on a daily basis. If you don't work, and decide to play for the day, you'll know it because your accounts will register a big fat zero at the end of the day. Quite frankly, if you don't work, you don't eat.
So like many dreamers you stuff the greatest business idea of the millennium into a file folder and bury it. You bury it way deep down inside your drawer where you'll hopefully forget all about it, and so it collects dust. But here's a revelation. How about just tossing the concept out for good, sending it to "good-idea-heaven?"?
You hold on to this folder with the remarkable idea because depositing it into the trash disrespects the dignity of it somehow. You know that it doesn't belong in there, yet you're not ready to let go of it completely. Now we're getting somewhere aren't we?

You were really hoping that oneday you'd actually be fully prepared to be your own boss, running that wonderful enterprise you dreamed up.
Do you think that it might be time to do some personal housekeeping in preparation for when someday finally arrives?
In the meantime, here are a few things for you to reflect upon:

(1) What do you really want to see happen?
(2)What would be the one thing that would prevent you from being successful with your business idea?
(3) Understand that you must have a desire to fill a need.
