Excuses kill personal growth. Personal growth happens when we overcome a self-limiting belief (like people buy based on price) or a hidden weakness (like a high need to be liked). When you make an excuse for lack of performance (our prices are too high, our software is too slow) then you are not focusing your energy where it needs to be focused. You are looking outside and not inside. The biggest problem is that by not looking inside yourself you will never uncover the obstacles that are holding you back. So even if the software gets faster, and your prices get lower, your performance will only increase marginally and will only last as long as those conditions persist. You will be like a basketball player who can only score when guarded by someone shorter and slower than him. You want to be more like the top basketball players who work on their game all summer, so that when the season starts they can score from anywhere on the court no matter who is guarding them.
