Strange Practices of People Who Never Succeed



Read More: Discipline  |  Personal Development

By my good friend and mentor Michael Dlouhy=================================================

Over the years, I’ve observed a lot of people who have not achieved what they want in life. These people often have a lot in common. I thought it might benefit YOU to have a list of things NOT to do. So, following is what seems to be a mental “To Do” list for non-achievers:

1. Don’t listen to anyone who has had actual success.

2. Take advice from everybody you know who has never achieved a dream.

3. Plan, plan, plan, and plan some more. Get everything 100% right. Then check it a few more times before you actually DO something.

4. Blame others for your failure to achieve what you want.

5. Take time every day to remind yourself what a loser you are.

6. Repeat the same mistakes over and over.

7. Keep going in the same direction that has never gotten you where you want to go.

8. Don’t do anything to replace those limiting, negative thoughts you’ve always had.

9. Keep spending time around those people who assure you you’ll never be successful.

10. Insist that you are right, no matter what the outcome of any action, because being wrong is worse than failure.

Is there anything on this list that YOU ever do?

If so, how can you change it?

so true...

I loved your 10 list of failures and the one that stands out the most is the whole concept of "getting ready to get ready to get ready" to do something.

One of my favorite mentors always says "you don't have to get right, you just have to get it going!"

Great article.

keep up the great work!

ouch!

It hurt a little going through that list because I recognized so much on that list in myself.  I'm going to keep this list handy and be proud everytime I cross off one of those habits off.

Nicely done!

Daniela, nicely done.  It's funny how an article written like this grabs our attention more so than the self-proclaimed gurus shouting from their rooftops. More peole will "identify" with this than the others. That's the key here, connect with people.  Develop relationships.

Cheers!
