Here you will find the real enemies that stand between you and success:
Failure to recognise and clearly define exactly what you want.
Procrastination, with or without cause (usually backed up with a formidable array of alibis and excuses).
Lack of interest in acquiring specialised knowledge.
Indecision, the habit of 'passing the buck' on all occasions, instead of facing issues squarely (also backed by alibis).
The habit of relying upon alibis instead of creating definite plans for the solution of problems.
Self-satisfaction. There is but little remedy for this affliction, and no hope for those who suffer from it.
Indifference, usually reflected in your readiness to compromise on all occasions, rather than meet opposition and fight it.
The habit of blaming others for your mistakes, and accepting unfavourable circumstances as being unavoidable.
Weakness of desire due to neglect in the choice of motives that impel action.
Willingness, even eagerness, to quit at the first sign of defeat (based upon one or more of the six basic fears).
Lack of organised plans, placed in writing where they may be analysed.
The habit of neglecting to move on ideas, or to grasp opportunity when it presents itself.
Wishing instead of willing
The habit of compromising with poverty instead of aiming at riches - a general absence of ambition to be, to do and to own.
Searching for all the short-cuts to riches, trying to get without giving a fair equivalent, usually reflected in the habit of gambling or endeavouring to drive 'sharp' bargains.
Fear of criticism, failure to create plans and to put them into action
