Hi there Rod!

Thanks for this really thorough post. Very true and so common. Especially procrastination.

I know I suffered from that a lot at a stage in my life and it can really make you stand still for a long time!

Talk soon and have a great day

Weird, but the points cited are the same ones that cripple the not-so-brilliant people, too. I’m speaking from experience of course. Ahehehe. One thing that hits closer to home was number 7. Well, as long as we wake up in the morning there’s a likelihood we can finally get cracking to achieve our goals.

Wow, Rod, you’ve pretty much hit all the reasons for failure. I, too, squirmed over a couple of these, especially no. 16. Identifying the problem areas is 9/10 of solving them, though. This is one I need to bookmark, for sure.

Thanks for writing it.

Hi Rod,

Good post listing almost depressingly so many points but they are all true.

I wish I could say that none of them apply to me but then I’d have to be incredibly successful.

There are a few points which I fall into and get out off periodically. For example focusing too much on details and at times the opposite of that.

Increasing awareness is helping to overcome those and interesting pieces like your post can do just that.

Great Post Rod – where did this one come from?

I squirmed with some of these – particularly 15 + 16 plus one or two more!
