I know this man who is afraid to succeed. He doesn’t know
this, but it is true. He over analyzes every opportunity and seeks out mentor
after mentor. His plan is lacking any action. I believe he is so afraid that he
is going to fail that he makes a million and one excuses to not take any action
but only seek consulting. This man is
thinking his way to failure.
Over the years I have come across other people like this.
That is why I am dedicating today’s blog to beating out failure by avoiding the
following ‘thinking’ pitfalls.
1.
If you use the past to predict the future know
that growth is impossible. If you have failed somewhere in your past, let it
go. Otherwise, you will fail again in the future. Dallas Buyers Clubs was
rejected time and time and time again. The producers kept the dream alive and
both actors in the movie received Oscars this year!
2.
If you love to stall on things then there is a
great chance you have missed the boat of opportunity more than once. Avoid this
by setting up mini-milestones and commitments for large undertakings.
3.
You compare yourself to others. Unless you are a
twin, this move is deadly when it comes to success. You are unique. You have
different circumstances, resources and educational experiences when compared to
others. Avoid the cookie-cutter syndrome
by putting yourself first and expecting others to follow you – not the other
way around!
Until Monday,
Coco the CEO
