Ten major causes of failure

Written by Christos Varsamis


-Lack of a specific purpose in life. You can not hope to succeed in any field of your life if you don’t have a central purpose. If you don’t have a definite goal in your life then you will jump from one activity to another with no success. Almost 97% of people think and act this way. That’s why successful people, who have a clear goal in their life, are very few.

-Lack of education. Most ofrepparttar successful people are “self educated” or “self made” as individuals. You can have five college degrees but if you don’t apply this knowledge it’s a waste. What counts isrepparttar 122740 applied knowledge with a plan of action and not just knowledge.

-Lack of self discipline. Discipline means self-control. You must control yourself and decrease your negative habits and qualities. If you don’t conquer yourself, it will conquer you.

-Procrastination. It is one ofrepparttar 122741 major causes of failure. These kind of people are waiting for opportunities come to them instead of seeking forrepparttar 122742 opportunities. They think that some dayrepparttar 122743 time will be right to act. That “right” time never comes.

-Lack of persistence. Most people are good starters but they stop inrepparttar 122744 run whenrepparttar 122745 first obstacles come. Obstacles are a chance to become better. They are ways to use your mind and improve your self. Quitters can not hope to success of any kind.

In his books, courses and newsletter he is very controversial. He explained that this is a deliberate shock tactic used to make people wake up and take action.

Here is a sample of his opinion aboutrepparttar 122740 majority of people who live their lives like sheep:

"After a lifetime of always choosingrepparttar 122741 easy option,repparttar 122742 lazy way out,repparttar 122743 least amount of work,repparttar 122744 mediocre will haverepparttar 122745 temerity to call you 'lucky.' They will then demand 'their' share of your wealth -repparttar 122746 wealth you built by numerous small daily disciplines, each one requiring you to forgo immediate gratification of your desires."
