It is essential to understand that the paths of entrepreneurship, prosperity and finance have always been and will continue to be challenging. Despite being overlooked by many, entrepreneurship or support from third parties is not enough.
Success or Failure: Are you a person destined to fail?
Stephanie Synclair had to work up the courage to leave behind a decade in the corporate sphere of commerce and dedicate herself to assisting other entrepreneurs in their self-construction, avoiding certain unbeneficial behaviors.
By setting up his own marketing and business consulting company, Synclair was able to distinguish between truly successful people and those who were brilliant who could never bring their big ideas to fruition.
He also dedicates a segment of his acclaimed book “Shut Up and Do the Work: The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Creating Massive Success” to the latter, to whom they will never succeed, he also dedicates a segment of his acclaimed book “Shut Up and Do the Work: The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Creating Massive Success”.
Types of People Destined to Fail
The dreamer is one of those profiles destined to defeat: someone who has dreams and ambitions and can even gain a good number of followers thanks to his ideas, but who is stuck in the crucial stage, that of execution.
Among those who do not achieve great goals is the observer, the one who “sits around watching what others are doing”. “They never give an opinion, they don’t interact and they certainly never get started,” Synclair explains.
These are people who never feel fully prepared and who, by waiting so long, are very likely to miss out on all opportunities. They don’t even advance in stages, forgetting that small steps also count.
Adversary of Success
Thirdly, there is the one who sees himself as a victim of envy. “In reality, he feels anger at the success of others,” the author points out. The first thing to understand is that envy is the adversary of success:
If you’re envious of someone, use it as an impetus: learn from their success and then forge your own path.
Then there is the pessimist, who would rather not try than fail. But fear of failure leads to paralysis. Therefore, one should ask: what is the worst thing that could happen to me? You’ll see that it’s often not as terrible as one might imagine.
How to take advantage of this lesson to avoid defeat
In conclusion: when it comes to judging ourselves, we are our own worst critics. However, we must not forget that the pursuit of a professional goal could actually earn us the respect of others.
“If you don’t identify with any of the categories I’ve listed,” Synclair writes in his book, “it means that you have the capacity to change your current situation.”
The essential thing is to discover what really makes us happy and then try to align that passion with your career goals. Before becoming an independent entrepreneur, Synclair didn’t believe this was possible.
“I think that, in order to get paid, you tend to prioritize work over passion. But that’s a mistake,” says the author. “Without a doubt, my work is my passion. I love what I do,” he concludes.
