Good advice above.

While beginning the takeoff with stick all the way back in a tricycle, once you have some speed you may find the a/c will no longer accelerate, you then need to lower the nose a bit to get to flying speed.

That worked for me in a C-172 with four aboard and full fuel in soft sand.
