Alison had a great post about that a while back, http://www.alisonkent.com/blog/?p=1327 Personally, I know very well that the reason I haven't gotten further is a lack of drive. Half of the time I have the "fire in the belly" and the other half, I just don't know if I want it at all. Part of it, I'm sure, is fear of failure, but it's also a fear of success.

Some people just fold, while others keep trying. I also think it's important to listen to the negative comments. Toss out the worthless, thoughtless comments, but listen and learn from worthwhile criticism. Marta Hi, HelenKay, I’d say that another factor is the ability to take criticism and rejection.

I've heard the lack of time excuse repeatedly from people. Every time I hear it, I make a mental note to myself that they don't 'want' it bad enough. Many/most people aren't willing to sacrifice for their dream. They just 'want' it to happen. I agree with all the above. I’ve heard the lack of time excuse repeatedly from people.
