Just as you declutter your office and home, from time to time do a check and throw out any beliefs or habits anything that may be holding back your success. Here are some good places to start.
- Playing small.
Go big. Grow! Sometimes the process is painful, but it’s worth it.
- Trying to be perfect.
Perfectionism sets us up for failure. It’s not a quest for the best but a way of telling yourself you’ll never be good enough.
- Waiting for luck.
You make your own luck! Luck builds its foundation on preparation. Coming across good opportunities may be partly a matter of luck, but it’s also a matter of knowing where to find them and being prepared to make the most of them.
- Trying to do it alone.
Even if you can pull it off, it’s twice as much work and half as much fun when you do it alone.
- Fixating on your weaknesses.
We all have our weak points. Work on them, but focus on your strengths
- Living in the past.
Your future starts now. Stop look in the rear view mirror
- Small goals.
Small goals yield small results; big goals, big (and sometimes huge) results.
- Avoiding change.
Change will happen with your permission or not. Manage it when you can and always make the best of it.
- Trying to never make a mistake.
Avoiding risk and never daring is the biggest mistake you can make
- Comparing yourself with others.
Comparison is another thief of your happiness. Don’t worry about what others are doing.
