I think there's some great points here. One of things I think you pointed out is inability. I think most people are able to, but are just motivated enough. I have a friend who's still in school and any time I ask him what he's been working on, he says cover letters and resumes. The funny thing is he's the same guy who had me come and speak to the marketing society at Pepperdine about why that method is such a waste of time. He has immense amounts of time, but sometimes I wonder if he's as driven as I am to make change and take control. You would think now that I have a day job, my efforts would have slowed. Instead I'm finding that I'm doing more and I'm doing it faster and getting more and more polished at what I do.

So in my mind when people say they are unable, what they are really saying is unwilling. Even if it means attacking it in bite size pieces goals can be accomplished.
