Major Causes of Failure - Part1

The long-time-enduring classic book Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill has been called "a textbook that should be studied, digested, and meditated upon." In the book, Mr. Hill identifies 30 major causes of failure in life/career. Here are 10 of the 30:

'

  • Lack of well-defined purpose in life - you must have definite goals!

  • Unfavorable hereditary background

  • Lack of ambition to aim above mediocrity

  • Insufficient education

  • Ill health

  • Unfavorable environmental influences during childhood

  • Procrastination

  • Lack of persistence

  • Negative personality

  • Lack of self-discipline'

We'll identify 10 more each of the next 2 Saturdays.
