What has kept you from progress? (And did you overcome it?)
Having had so many investing students and BP members express their issues around funds, education or just plain fear, I thought it would be helpful for everyone to not only hear from investors having challenges or hesitations, but also from the more experienced investors on how you overcame similar issues in the beginning.
Investors: Please tell us what is slowing your progress.
Those Who’ve Overcome Your Roadblocks: Please tell us what challenges you’ve had and how you got past them. And please help those expressing their issues.

@Lori Greene - For me it was trying to do everything myself. My business skyrocketed once I gave into the idea of relinquishing control and being a team player. However, I'm still a lone wolf by nature so this is something I continue to struggle with on a daily basis.
