The 5 Bad Qualities you may have that kill your business
(shortened from the 10 Killing Mistakes in your Business)
Irena Whitfield

No 1. You don't see the overall plan, goal: this is very important because if you can't see your overall plan and goal in front of your eyes all the time you will easily lose focus and direction. If you have this problem, start using memos, notes, write down all the main scope and consult it frequently to keep your mind focused.

No 2. You lose in details: another killer and a big danger. I find this unlucky characteristics in all the people who don't either don't do anything, start anything or don't get anywhere. If you have this problem, it's essential that you start to train yourself to recognize a vital item from a trifle, an unimportant detail. At every moment you must be able to tell whether what you're going to do is important at that special moment, why, what it will bring, where it is heading, whether it will help your long-term goal and how.

If you overstress details, you're doomed to failure.

No 3. You fear problems, failures, insecure situation: problems, trying, failures, insecure situations are the daily bread of entrepreneur's everyday life.

If you are not willing to or do not know how to cope, you should not start at all. If you still want to start a business of your own, you should train yourself.

No 4. You hate solving problems, prefer living with them: most people hate problem solving so much that they prefer living with them letting these grow beyond manageable. However, a successful entrepreneur cannot afford this. Every serious problem if not solved grows beyond possible control bringing about disasters.

If you are one of the people leaving problems unsolved, start training yourself by regular solving at least a small and unimportant problem a day to see :-)

No 5. You don't prevent problems to happen: I have learned this problem prevention from the German businessmen. It's one of the best principles you can adopt.

It's so much easier and cheaper to create such conditions that problems do not happen at all than to solve them when these occur.

Still, you can't prevent all of the problems from happening and you will have to solve some anyway from time to time but not so many problems and so disastrous.

I highly recommend to adopt this principle if you're looking for a happier, easier and more successful life both business and personal.

The people who have a number of possessions or "status" that didn't earn it are known as being "born with a silver spoon in their mouth"... or state l*ttery winners.

But statistics reveal that the average rich person that doesn't have to work for what they get doesn't know how to keep it, or anything else in their lives - and becomes the type that just can't make anything work.

They get trained to live their lives with their hands out to Mommy and Daddy. If that sounds a bit hard to believe, read 'The Millionaire Next Door.'

Whether you're wealthy or not, giving your kids everything creates social and financial cripples.

Most follow-up research on L*ttery winners shows the same thing. Within a short time, it's all gone. They didn't EARN it, never learned responsibility with money, so they're helpless against every expensive temptation there is. So even if you win, you lose.

My strongest advice is this: Stop blowing your money on l*ttery tickets. Figure out how much you spend on them and that expensive daily gourmet cappuccino, and put exactly that much in a money market fund every week or two and become rich the proven way - slowly. Surely. But how do you start to get the discipline to be able to do something like that? To achieve any worthwhile objective?

Goals.

The average person has no long-term goals. And the word creates a lot of confusion.

Most think a goal is a goal when it's something like: You want to be rich; want a screen star body; win a gold medal; get an advanced college degree; in short, to desire something really huge.

The trouble with big goals is not that you're dreaming out of your league--it's that very few set goals in such a way that they ever get accomplished. Like everything, there's right and wrong ways to do it. You can buy books, and go to seminars to learn how. I did. But honestly, it boils down to a few simple steps and some things you can do to ensure that you'll stick it out and be there at the end with your hands raised high.

The first mistake everyone usually makes is getting excited about having something - prompted by an external source, a commercial maybe. Wrong way to start.

I know I sound like a broken record, but setting and achieving goals is not REALLY about what you get as much as it is what you become during the process of attaining your goal. When you ARE more, you'll get more automatically now and in the future.

A natural by-product.

What you need to do first is look at an area of your life that's causing you some trouble. You are in pain about it. Emotional, physical, whatever.

Choose an area that gives you a big one of these "pains." I mean, why go after something you really don't want badly, right? Getting rid of a gnawing pain that you've had for a while is a great way. Getting rid of the fabricated pain that a commercial stirred up and then proposed to cure is often the wrong way...

The "I'm a sheep" way. B-a-a-a-a-a!

Take your pain and look at it. What does it cost you to have the problem or lack? Write down the physical costs, emotional, mental, social, spiritual, financial. Spread it out for 1, 2, 5 and 20 years. Feel it. Get by yourself and do this, because you just might need a few tissues during this process. Take your time.

It's been a long time that you haven't had this "goal" so a little time spent doing this is an investment. Trust me.

This will give you determination you didn't think you had. Let me tell you. You have it...

You just have to find this pain and then keep it handy.

When you have that, you'll have a base for the setting of a goal - a goal that inspires you to keep going... to reach down deep.

Do this exercise and you'll begin to see the power of starting out intelligently instead of letting others control your goals for you.
