9 Things Keep You from Succeeding

Most of the time, people don't realize what is holding them back from success. You may think you're doing everything you can, but sometimes it takes time to think deeply and realize yourself - like many of us do when we think about the past and plan for the future - so you can identify your weaknesses.

9 things that can hinder you in achieving the success you desire:

Here are nine things that can hinder you in achieving the success you desire, and this list is the first step to discovering yourself:

1. Focus your attention on the success of others instead of your own:

When you compare your performance and goals with the goals of other people or society, this will lead to your inability to accurately evaluate your performance, so draw your own path of success because this path is the only thing that matters to you.

2. Your actions are not consistent with what you want to be:

In our culture, we have learned that using psychotherapy or coaching is only when we have a real problem. Still, it is essential to do so even when things are going well because your awareness and understanding of your psyche are critical for success and improving your potential.

If you do not understand what is going on in your mind, you will become a victim of the beliefs and rules that you have inherited from your family; it will guide you and make decisions about you, and of course, you should not allow this to happen because you will act in a way that is not like you at all.

Regardless of your goals, you must be aware of your subconscious mind behaviors to achieve them. If you don't have a therapist in the present, you can begin to build your self-awareness by taking things slowly and paying attention to the moments when you are either happy or you are not. for example, what mental chatter is going on in your head? Start  paying attention to these cues, as they can be an effective way to begin to understand the internal messages that drive specific behaviors.

3. You still stick to outdated social norms:

There are many old principles prevalent in society. Still, they no longer apply to the modern business world, including that you need to have a university degree to be a successful person or that the wages and benefits you get are more important than your comfort in the job or constant mobility between jobs is very bad. If you follow one or all of these rules, you make a mistake against yourself, so you can - and you must - break these rules if it is convenient for you.

4. You are unaware of who you are:

Most people do not know how critical their motivation is in making decisions and career planning. Success is the product of the behavior of each individual; that is, you must be the decision maker and the only control in the path of your success, and let your feelings and real needs guide you.

5. You often end up in one of the jobs that isn't quite right for you:

Knowing  your skills is core to finding the job where you will work with all the fun and will achieve success. This is the result of your desire for the impact you want to make in the world and your genius in the way you think or the best way to solve your problems when you find a job that achieves both things. It means that you found the work of your dreams.

6. You followed the wrong advice that initially seemed good to you:

Regardless of your appreciation for someone who gave you one of the tips, their advice is simply what they found suitable for them, and this does not mean that it will work for you. So, listen to all the tips, taking into account the need to criticize what you deem inappropriate. If you find that the advice was helpful to your situation, use it, but if it is not appropriate, keep it for later or get rid of it completely.

7. You are always sticking to your usual and routine lifestyle for fear of failure:

Failure is a great gift. Do not spend your life afraid of its occurrence. Still, look at it as the best way to learn and develop; you will never reach your goal if you are hindering your progress through your constant concern that missteps occur. Failure is an integral part of every great success story; therefore, dare to take the first step. If you stumble, get up again and discover what is wrong and try to fix it, and then continue again.

8. You adopt a scarcity mindset when it comes to money, or you already don't have a reserve of cash that allows you to take professional risks:

It is critical to support yourself and your family, but your financial comfort is more related to your way of thinking than your financial situation. When deciding whether to take a risk in your career or not, it is essential to know how much money you need. It means discovering the elements and services you can do without at least for the time being.

In fact, you're more likely to achieve your financial goals if you're in a job that motivates your willpower. Still, if you're highly paid for a job that you hate, your bank account will be as full as you'd like it to be, and that won't matter because you'll be miserable.

If you don't have a network of professional relationships, start making one now because even if you don't plan on quitting your current job, you certainly have no idea what could happen in the future.

9. Lack of confidence when it comes to believing in yourself, no matter what happens or what others think of you, is non-negotiable:

If you are experiencing a specific crisis in your self-confidence and do not seem to be able to support yourself, we advise you to consult a psychotherapist or coach in this regard because it is a problem that can be fully solved if there is appropriate support.
