Inside Napoleon Hill’s unpublished manuscript,' Wheel of Fortune', he shares a list.  

But not just any list. 

This is Andrew Carnegie's list of the major causes of failure. Yes, THAT Andrew Carnegie — the richest man in the world at the time.  

He shared this list with Napoleon Hill during their famous interview, and it became a cornerstone of Hill's work on success.

Here are the big ones on his list:

  • The habit of drifting without aim, plan, or purpose. (Are you drifting or driving towards your goals?)
  • Lack of self-discipline in eating, drinking, and other physical habits. (Small daily choices add up to big results - good or bad.)
  • Lack of ambition to aim above mediocrity. (Are you settling for “good enough”?)
  • Lack of persistence in carrying through on what one begins. (How many unfinished projects do you have?)
  • Negative personality and offensive habits. (Are you the person others want to be around and work with?)
  • Lack of definite purpose as a life goal. (Do you know EXACTLY what you want?)
  • Lack of decision, procrastination. (Are you quick to decide and act, or do you wait for the “perfect moment”?)
  • The habit of blaming others for one's mistakes and accepting unfavorable circumstances as being unavoidable. (Are you taking full responsibility for your life and business?) 

I have a challenge for you: 

Look at this list and identify your top 1-2 “failure factors”. 

Write down ONE specific action you can take this week to address each of them.

From my heart to yours

David.
