Instead of focusing energy on excuses that don't serve you in moving forward, make up excuses that inspire and enthuse you to do what you want to do. Excuses like "there is no time like present, I am old enough, I am just person to do job, I know all ways it can work." Actually, there are an unlimited number of excuses as to why you can. Be creative and think of as many as you like.

4) Test market: Walt could not get distribution on his first nature film Seal Island. After several frustrating months watching it sit on shelf, he found one movie theater in Pasadena willing to show it. Seal Island, achieved full distribution, won academy award for best short subject and led to a series of highly popular nature films.

5) Sometimes you need to pull plug: Walt was determined to have a circus at Disneyland despite his staff's advice not to. The idea failed. A pretty trapeze artist lost her top while performing in front of kiddies helpless to prevent it. The camels kept spitting into crowd. The llamas got loose and ran down Main Street scattering customers every which way. More than one performance of this poorly attended venture ended with Walt burying his face in his hands. He decided to kill it.

By learning lessons from each of his entrepreneurial attempts, Walt always moved forward, which is a timeless business model.
