Wherever you are right now in life, it’s because of your own doing. You can’t blame anyone and you aren’t even allowed to make excuses.
Let John help you find what you need to change in you. In this episode of The Streetwise Tradesmen Podcast, he enumerates the 25 reasons people are unsuccessful. Though privilege influences the success of some famous entrepreneurs, we should also note that it’s their characteristics, attitude, behaviour, and values towards their goals that what got them there.
Tune in now to know more of what you can avoid so you can achieve success in any aspect of your life.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Reasons Why You Are Not Successful
You are lazy. Stick to a schedule and routine. Make sure you’re doing the tasks that are needed to do for your vision.
You keep asking, “Why not me?” It’s you who has to make the first move. If you find someone who can help you with your ideas, finances, etc., ask for help and learn from them.
You get to stuck in your head. Stop being so pessimistic, and just do it.
You spend too much time on social media. Some feel insecurity when they see other people’s profiles. Stop comparing yourself to other people.
You never finish what you started. It’s important that you get the job satisfaction you want whenever you start something.
You don’t think of it as a business. For freelancers, you have the ability to utilise your time so do it.
You don’t believe in yourself.
You’re not feeling entitled. if it means to be yours, get it.
You obsess on things that are not important. Keeping a diary helps so you can track your progress.
You stay in your comfort zone. Push yourself to do more to improve yourself.
You’re focusing way too much on the money. Focus on your WHY, how other people can enjoy it, and where do you want the business to go.
You’re not passionate enough.
You’re a negative thinker. Listen or read motivational stuff in the morning. Cut out toxic people if you have to.
You haven’t established your goals. How would you plan your journey if you don’t know where to go?
You don’t know who you are. Stop shaping your plans according to others’ plans. You might have the same destination, but your resources and paths will be different.
You give up too easily. Keep going. Success doesn’t happen overnight.
You think you can do things on your own. Yes, you’re capable of doing all the tasks, but be careful because you’ll experience burnout. Learn how to delegate some tasks.
You are a perfectionist. Mistakes and failures are there to make successes worthwhile.
You worry about what people think.
You’re not constantly working. Persistence and consistency are the key.
You don’t network. “Your network is your net worth.” Try to meet people who you can collaborate or partner with every week.
You don’t know when to let go. There are some things that are better done by someone than you. Learn how to leverage.

I am John Clarke. A guy in my 30’s with a successful business portfolio.

I’m looking forward to sharing my story and much more with the world. I have loads of experience in business and self-development
