1. Lack of well-defined purpose in life.
There is no hope of
success for the person who doesn't have a central purpose,
or definite goal at which to aim. 98 out of every 100 of
those whom I have analyzed had no such aim. Perhaps this was
the major cause of their failure.
2. Lack of ambition to aim above mediocrity.

2. Lack of ambition to aim above mediocrity.
We offer no
hope for the person who is so indifferent as not to want to
get ahead in life, and who is not willing to pay the price.
3. Lack of self-discipline.

3. Lack of self-discipline.
Discipline comes through
self-control. This means that one must control all negative
qualities. Before you can control conditions, you must
first control yourself. Self-mastery is the hardest job you
will ever tackle. If you do not conquer self, you will be
conquered by self. You may see at one and the same time
both your best friend and your greatest enemy, by stepping
in front of a mirror.
4. Procrastination.

4. Procrastination.
This is one of the most common causes
of failure. "Old Man Procrastination" stands within the
shadow of every human being, waiting for his opportunity to
spoil one's chances of success. Most of us go through life
as failures, because we are waiting for the "time to be
right" to start doing something worthwhile. Do not wait.
The time will never be "just right." Start where you stand,
and work with whatever tools you may have at your command,
and better tools will be found as you go along.
5. Lack of persistence.

5. Lack of persistence.
Most of us are good "starters" but
poor "finishers" of everything we begin; moreover, people
are prone to give up at the first signs of defeat. There is
no substitute for persistence. The person who makes
persistence his watchword discovers that "Old Man Failure"
finally becomes tired and makes his departure. Failure
cannot cope with persistence.
6. Negative personality.

6. Negative personality.
There is no hope of success for
the person who repels people through a negative personality.
Success comes through the application of power, and power
is attained through the cooperative efforts of other people.
A negative personality will not induce cooperation.
7. Lack of a well-defined power of decision.

7. Lack of a well-defined power of decision.
People who
succeed reach decisions promptly and change them, if at all,
very slowly. People who fail reach decisions, if at all,
very slowly and change them frequently and quickly.
Indecision and procrastination are twin brothers. Where one
is found, the other may usually be found also. Kill off this
pair before they completely "hog-tie" you to the treadmill
of failure.
8. Over-caution.

8. Over-caution.
The person who takes no chances generally
has to take whatever is left when others are through
choosing. Over-caution is as bad as under-caution. Both are
extremes to be guarded against. Life itself is filled with
the element of chance.
9. Wrong selection of associates in business.

9. Wrong selection of associates in business.
This is one
of the most common causes of failure in business. In
marketing personal services, one should use great care to
select an employer who will be an inspiration, and who is,
himself, intelligent and successful. We emulate those with
whom we associate most closely.
