two amongst a thousand wise
men, will define success in the
same words, yet failure is
always described in one way.
Failure is man’s inability to
reach his goals in life whatever
they may be.”
While success is relative, subjective,
holds monetary and non- monetary
value, failure is more a “one size fits
all” recipe. Below are ten things people
do to fail on purpose.



1. They don’t understand the value of
time.
“Any successful entrepreneur
knows that time is more
valuable than money itself.” –
Richard Branson

Unsuccessful people don’t value their
time. They are everywhere, anywhere,
anytime because they lack the ability
to dedicate their time towards their
goals. And year after year they make
new promises which never come to
fruition simply because they couldn’t
be bothered to put in the time
required towards their goals. Time
management skills, learning how to
say no and knowing what
commitments to undertake, is a step
towards great success in any area of
our lives.



2. They don’t do things that are in
alignment with their goals
“It’s not hard to make decisions
when you know what your
values are.” – Roy Disney.

The more important a goal is, the
higher it will be on your hierarchy of
values and the more discipline and
order you will have associated with it.
The less important a goal is, the lower
it will be on your hierarchy of values
and the less discipline and more
disorder you’ll have associated with
it. Unsuccessful people have mistaken
busyness with productivity. They are a
part of everything but nothing which
they do is in alignment to their values
and their goals. Writing down in a
journal what your gaols are and
implementing strategies which can get
you there will help you identify things
that are not on par with where you are
going.

3. They never step up to the plate
“People seem to think that
success in one area can
compensate for failure in other
areas, but can it really? True
effectiveness requires balance”
– Stephen Covey

So your boss sucks and you really hate
your job but this is no reason to slack
and produce mediocre work. You’re
getting paid to be there so do it right,
life has this universal law of giving
you what you put in. It’s just
