Lack of focus: We usually intend to do something every single day but then, suddenly, the day is over and we realise we've done next to nothing due to all the distractions. In reality, though, we did have some chunks of time … we just lacked focus.
Too much kindness: Sometimes we take on tasks which don't really give us anything. We simply feel sorry for someone and want to help them out. However, this extra responsibility hurts us and also makes us question our relationship with the given colleague or customer.
Promising and not delivering: Sometimes we promise something to our team, customers or suppliers. If we fail to follow our words with actions, we lose the respect of others and put our credibility at risk. That is never good.
Not using everything we have available: We have a tendency to lament about not having enough resources – be it money or support – when actually we do have them. The only thing we have to do is ask. All too often we fail to utilise our existing network to its fullest.
