What is stopping everyone from trying to start a general strike?

So, I see the idea of a general strike tossed around a lot on the internet, and I'm kinda curious. What's stopping everyone from actually organizing one in some way. To be clear, I am not particularly skilled at organization nor am I a very influential person, but I feel like with the amount of organizers and people who are skilled in this way, we could very seriously set dates and make a framework for local organizers to do the more local detailed organizing and setting up things like strike funds. If we put our heads and voices together I feel like it'd be achievable and we may be able to make real change. Sorry that this is a bit rambly, I'm not great with words, but I just wanted to put it out there.
