Success is sweet but it is quite good to know that are behaviors or attitudes that can kill or destroy success. Few days ago a friend of mine send an email to me. The title of the mail reads thus:
5 big mistakes that stop success.
Mistake No.1: Trying to do everything yourself.
We as human beings are limited by a number
of things.
Two Hands, One Brain and 24 hours in a day
are just some of them.
Learn to leverage the brainpower, manpower,
and time of others, and you will find that
you can get more done and achieved in your
lifetime than you ever imagined.
Mistake No 2: Procrastination (putting things off).
In life I met many people that didn't
want to do certain tasks till the next
day, or the next week, which if only
they had done... would have resulted
in far more business for them.
Instead, they wanted to concentrate on
going for a drink with their friends
or watching their favorite soap on the
TV.
There's nothing wrong with that, except,
quite often the things they left undone,
needed their urgent attention.
They were things that could have helped
them be more prepared at the meeting
they had scheduled, or it could even
have been some action that might have
stopped debt collectors calling at
their door to take away their furniture
if only they'd acted sooner.
These are harsh realities of life and
things that have a way of making sure
that life remains a struggle, if you put
things off.
Don't. Do what you need to get done, whether
it applies to your business or your personal
life, in the priority and timing it deserves.
This single action will put you way ahead
of the crowd.
Mistake No 3: Looking For An Easy Fix/Route.
We as people are becoming lazier. We want
an easy fix for everything in this age of
instant everything.
And if we can find an easy fix or route to something
then that is fine.
However when it comes to success, there is NO easy
fix, no matter what people tell you.
There is no easy way to become a millionaire.
It takes work, it takes effort and it takes
patience.
However most people are convinced that there is
some magic formula that will take them there overnight.
There isn't.
On the internet there are people trying to sell
you easy fixes to riches.
There aren't any.
What there ARE proven strategies and principles of
success that anyone who knows them can apply and can
ENSURE their way to the top?
These proven principles have worked for anyone who
has put them into practice in the past (including me)
and turned them into multi-millionaires, they are
working for those who are currently putting them
into practice, and they will work for anyone who
puts them into practice in the future.
After all which would YOU pick? Easy fixes or proven
strategies?
Now you might say "proven strategies", but there is
usually some work or effort involved with them.
That's why DESPITE KNOWING that proven strategies are
what people need, the very same people will pay for and
go after trying to find easy fixes again and again
without paying to learn what are proven strategies.
Proven strategies come at the cost of experience.
They come at the cost of other people's work, so people
won't offer them to you readily.
Easy fixes on the other hand you will find in abundance,
because there is no experience behind many of them.
There is only a quick buck to be made by the person
peddling the easy fix.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about an
easy fix in terms of software or a solution to a
particular problem.
Those are great.
I'm talking about people looking for and people
selling an easy fix to success.
Don't look for people selling easy fixes. Find people
offering you proven strategies that are time-tested and
that have taken years of trial and error to get right.
Strategies that work for me, and will work for you
when you apply them.
