6. Letting fear control you – if you are running scared, you are afraid to succeed.

5. Playing the role of victim – if you are pointing at external factors as reasons for a lack of success, it is time to look in the mirror, pull up your socks, and forge your own path.

4. Failure to learn from mistakes – everyone makes them, so take your lumps and move forward.
