- Requiring other people’s approval
You’ll come to realize that everything in your life—past and present—is dependent upon you once you realize that you are accountable for everything that has occurred in your life. Being a leader means acting and having confidence in your own judgment; as such, you won’t wait around for feedback and approval from others.
2. Not recognizing your errors
We all know that mistakes are a part of life, but don’t you believe that there is something quite wrong if you keep repeating the same ones? It’s time to objectively evaluate your errors. Break them down and be honest with yourself. Start by considering why they might be occurring and why you didn’t behave differently the last time. You’ll be able to come up with better answers as a result of this.
3. Making comparisons with others
Success ought to be subjective. Each person should decide for themselves what success means, and you need to be doing that yourself. Discover what’s important to you, how success feels and looks to you, then take complete control of that emotion. It is useless to constantly compare yourself to others and put yourself down because you haven’t accomplished or acquired as much as they have. You are divinely entitled to achieve the level of achievement you have strived for.
4. Unwilling to let go
Ideas, as well as good people, professional colleagues, employees, and partners, will come and go. However, you must figure out a way to make it so that these things may leave your universe as easily as they entered it in order for your creativity to flourish.

5. Aiming towards excellence
“You’ll never be satisfied if you strive for perfection.”– Leo Tolstoy
In a perfect society, seeking perfection would not only be honorable, but also rewarded. It’s a prescription for dissatisfaction in the world we live in, and it’s a huge waste of time. The capacity to be fully present is the closest thing to perfection, according to psychotherapist Mel Schwartz. We are free to truly be in the moment when we are not being distracted by thoughts of measuring or grading ourselves. We are actually alive at that very time. However, the perfectionist is rarely present since they are either preoccupied with reviewing their past choices and replaying them or worried about their upcoming choices. Recognize when it’s time to move on and set reasonable objectives for
6. Mixing up busy and productive
“Don’t confuse activity with success.”[John Wooden]
You can find enough work-related things to keep you busy day, night, and on weekends, let’s face it. Do they represent the proper actions?
Success is not determined by the amount of time you put in or the number of projects you have going at once. Pay attention to the important details. Contrast making progress with being busy. We gauge our achievement on the busyness scale when, in reality, we should be assessing our advancement on the tasks that will have the largest influence on our objectives. Although the corporate culture may encourage “looking busy,” real business success comes from focused work in the direction of long-term objectives

Although a ship is safe in port, it is not what ships are designed for.Bill G.T. Shedd
