I'm guilty of this all the time, where I have an idea, and I get all into planning the smallest of details rather than acting on whatever the idea is. And shockingly, I never seem to complete these tasks.

Poor people who stay poor will likely lack motivation to improve, have issues with substances, and probably didn't come from environments that focused on family and education. Maybe that's not very empathetic. But I suppose that's my solution to societal problems

1. Focus on family and education.
2. Aim big. Don't dream big. But if other people think your goals are unreasonable, you're probably on the right track. Nobody gets excited about an attainable goal, which results in even the attainable never occurring.
3. Don't make excuses.
So, how much did the Tony Robbins bullet point seminar set you back? I just can't drum up the motivation to attend one.
