Common Pitfalls While Taking Action

  • Fear – fear of failure, of success, of making a fool out of themselves
  • Take ineffectual action – a lot of people believe that they are always working towards their goal, but really, they are busy, but not productive
  • Perfectionism – what looks like a positive personality trait of always wanting to do our very best can actually be our worst enemy
  • Give away power – some people wait for someone else to take the first step before they will
  • Plan without doing – there are those people who get as far as making a massive action plan, but fail to ever get beyond the planning
  • Make excuses – we all know people who have brilliant ideas, but only make excuses as to why they never break out
  • Negative mindset – we all have that little voice in our head that likes to pop up and tell us all the reasons why our plan for reaching our goal won’t work
