Do any of this sound familiar? “I’ll start my diet tomorrow.” “I’ll begin my project next week.” “I’m not good enough to do this.” If you can relate to any of these, you’re probably not happy with the outcomes your lack-of-action has led you to. Although you are not alone (most people struggle with one or more of these daily), continuing this path of lack of direction, commitment, and achievement will stop you from being successful in all aspects of your life, unless you choose to do something about it.
 
Here are the top four fatal flaws when it comes to creating success in your life, and some tips on how to overcome them.

  1. Procrastination. This is probably the most common fatal flaw. We all have good intentions of starting that diet or beginning that project, but we always seem to put it off until tomorrow. The problem with procrastination is that it leads to a never-ending cycle of excuses and self-doubt.
 
  • Here are some practical ways to reduce or prevent procrastination: Set a deadline for yourself and stick to it. Then, write what you need to do, and when you plan to do it. Next, break down your goal into small, manageable steps.
 
  • Find an accountability partner to help keep you on track. Eliminate distractions so that you can focus on the task at hand. Last, start with the most straightforward task first to get yourself started.
 
  1. Perfectionism. We live in a society that celebrates perfectionism, but perfectionism is nothing more than self-sabotage.
 
  • Perfectionists are their own worst critics. They are not ok with their work, no matter how hard they try. It can lead to a lot of frustration and self-doubt.
 
  • Here are some tips to help you deal with perfectionism: First, learn to accept imperfection. Focus on the process, not the outcome. Then set realistic goals. Also, allow yourself to make mistakes.
 
  • Remember that no one is perfect. Focus on progress, not perfection. Find a role model who embraces imperfection. Stop comparing yourself to others. Finally, Start celebrating your accomplishments, no matter how small they may be.
 
  1. Fear of failure. It’s natural to feel anxiety or fear when embarking on something new, but if you let that fear take control, it can prevent you from taking any risks and achieving your goals.
 
  • Here are some tips to help you deal with your fear of failure: Identify your fear, understand that failure is part of the process, set realistic goals, make a plan, and build your confidence.
 
  • Also, seek support from others, find a role model who has overcome failure, remember that everyone fails at some point, learn from your mistakes, and don’t be afraid to take risks.
 
  • Last, start small and work your way up, be prepared for setbacks, and persevere through difficult times.
 
  1. Lack of motivation. It’s easy to lose motivation when facing a hard task or goal. But if you let that happen, it will only make it harder to achieve your goals.
 
  • Here are some tips to help you stay motivated: First find out what drives you, set SMART goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Then, make a plan.
 
  • Next, find an accountability partner, seek support from others, find a motivated role model, create a positive mindset, focus on your progress, not your failures and persevere through difficult times.
 
These are four fatal flaws that can, and do, prevent our success. If you can identify these flaws in yourself and take steps to overcome them appropriately, you’ll be well on your way to achieving your goals! Remember that you have the power within to reach your highest potential. Don’t let these internal flaws be the reason you never achieve your intended outcomes and success.
