The only thing that's stopping anyone is a lack of genuine desire. I usually try to ask people what their actual goal is.

Often times they'll say things like "well I really want to be an actor, or the best guitar player ever." But whats most true is that they want to be famous (and acting is a vehicle for that) or they want to **** lots of women.

If someone actually wants to do something, practice doesn't feel like labor. And when you can practice for hours, few things, if anything, is actually impossible.
