Too many unsuccessful entrepreneurs sit around waiting for positive thinking to bring them wealth and riches. Self-help gurus, ranging from Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich” book to “The Secret” video reinforce the myth that universal abundance can be tapped by sitting on your butt and thinking positive thoughts.

Decisive action is the missing element. Positive thoughts by themselves do nothing.

For an excellent take on this issue, I give credit to the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Every positive thinker who is spinning his wheels should be required to watch this video repeatedly until he understands it…then gets up and takes action.
