  1. Procrastination is a hard one for me personally. Some people fear success because success may bring more things to procrastinate about. So, procrastination has to get solved!

  2. Fear of failure is a big one. But, failing and getting back up and trying again helps us get over that fear. When we succeed and learn how to succeed, we get less afraid of failure.

  3. Procrastination is definitely my thing. I have gotten better at not procrastinating {procrastinating on procrastinating?} over the years, but I still need to work on it more.

  4. I’m definitely a procrastinator, and honestly, I think I might have a little fear of success because the thought of a greater workload is just too much.

  5. Great book recommendations.. SOoo need to check them out… I usually don’t like to wait till the last minute either, but lately I need a little motivation… thanks for a great post and a great reminder

  6. I think one more reason should LACK OF FUNDS. For me that is why I need to wait to open my pet treats etsy store. I need to wait til Nov. 1st when we will have put away enough money to start taking orders. I love the other four: procrastination fear of failure fear of success
    and lack of experience
