We all want to be successful but the fact remains that not all of us will achieve this success. Sure, hard work and determination can get you there, but do you know the character traits that will NOT get you there?

1. You are dishonest: No matter what you want to do in life, you will need to deal with people. And if you are dishonest, people will usually find this out eventually. Once they do, they will not only stay away from you, they will also not refer you to others and everyone knows this is one of the most important ways to grow.


2. You procrastinate: “I will start tomorrow.” “I will begin next Monday” Does this sound like you? If you keep pushing what you can do today until another day, all you are doing is simply pushing your chances of success further away from you.

3. You are lazy: Laziness does not always mean you spend the whole day in bed. Laziness often take the form of simply just sitting in one position in life without the urge to grow or better yourself. Sure, lazy people can have jobs, but they only go through the motion. Do do not take any steps towards being the best at their jobs or making other plans. Lazy people are unlikely to make it in life.

4. You follow the crowd: You know what they say, if you want to have something other people do not have, you should be willing to do things others are not doing. Some people focus so much time and effort on impressing friends and wanting to be like them. But the thing is, if all your energy goes into trying to be like someone, there is absolutely no way to be better than that person. To succeed, you have to put in more work than others who are simply just existing.

5. You give up easily: How many businesses have you started and quit after only a couple of weeks? How many times have you taken a step forward, only to give up because it is too much work? A person who gives up on things he starts will have problems succeeding. Why? Because you need to keep at something for a while, go through the difficult phase before the good times come in.

6. You are indecisive: Just like a person who gives up easily, not being able to decide what you want to do and how you want to do it will make it likely that you will fail. As an ambitious person you should understand that having a dream is nothing until you make decision on how you will achieve it.

7. You expect instant success: If you are expecting instant reward for your effort, you will have a hard time making it. This is because you are likely to be depressed, to give up, or to do just do the wrong things due to the fact that it is taking too much time. Understand that it will take a while to come out at the top but you have to persevere. If any of the above sounds like you, then it is time you made the change if you want to have any hopes of being at the top.
