1: You're Too Lazy
Sorry but there's no real easy way to say this! If you're not trying hard enough when you could try harder, then you're lazy! Everyone you meet that is successful in business is successful 9/10 because they have worked their butt off to get where they are today. It's okay to be lazy if that's what you want to be. Just don't whine and moan about not being rich and successful if you are. Use the steam to power your dreams!

2: You're Too Fearful
Hey look, if you're afraid of anything, like afraid of looking foolish, afraid of what people, friends or family might think or say. And just afraid to take risks and step outside of your "comfort zone". Then the chances are that you're not going to be able to achieve anything in life. So you better either grow a spine and man up or be prepared not to achieve much if anything at all!

3: You Have No Goals
If there's one thing I've learned in life, it's that things don't just fall into your lap! If you want something, you have to go out and get it! Nobody will bring it to you unless you're the King or other Royal Family. Most of us aren't Royal Family so we have to go and get them if we want them. Listen, everyone needs goals, dreams, plans. Without them you're just playing it by ear and treading water. And what happens when you tread water? You get wet feet!

4: You're Too Negative
Have you ever heard the expression "positive things happen to positive thinkers"? Why do you think they say that? Because it's true! Thoughts aren't just in your head! They are electrical signals, cosmic waves that have an affect and influence on you, and those around you. So stop thinking negatively and doubting stuff and start being positive and having FAITH! Also, if you are surrounded by negative people - dump them! Surround yourself with positive people and that will reflect on you, positively in your working and personal life!

5: You Waste Time
Some people spend a lot of time working on, not working! That isn't going to get you far in life. If you aren't a very productive person, and you put things off until the last minute until you absolutely have to do them, then how can you expect to get anything done or even achieve much in life or even achieve your goals if you keep putting them off? You wont, so you may as well just throw in the towel now if you're going to carry on being like that. And it's not enough to say "I'll change tomorrow". Change today! Tomorrow is never promised..

6: You Think Too Small (Like a 5 minute clock)
Big things happen to big thinkers! Likewise, small things happen for people that think small. If you think too small about stuff, and only think about the day you're in, instead of thinking about the whole month, the year, or even years in advance, you'll never get anywhere or climb that ladder to success very fast at all. Why take small steps when you can take big strides?

7: You're Not Hungry For It
How hungry are you for the money and fame and everything else that can come with being successful? Because unless you're starving for it, unless you're making your fingertips bleed because you're working on it that hard, you're probably not going to see that success anyway! You may even be scared of what happens if you do get it. Or perhaps you sometimes tell yourself that you don't deserve it. Well I'm here to tell you right now that's some serious negative BS your brain is telling you! Recognize that as a negative thought and dump it out with the trash!

8: You Don't Believe It
This one is the same as being positive really. But some people believe it's not possible to achieve success simply because society or someone has told them that. Society tells you that only a select few people are marked to succeed and that everyone else should just settle and be happy with what they have. F that! That's some serious crap! It's up to YOU what you want to believe and if anyone tells you differently you can give them the middle finger and tell them to go jump! I'll meet you at the front of the line that is queuing up for the "I Believe and Can Achieve" job.

9: Social B.S.
Social media is a great place for many reasons. For researching, for finding clients, work and just for socializing and staying in touch with friends and family. But it's also a complete time suck as well! You know it, I know it, everyone knows it! If you spend about 50% of your day endlessly trauling social media sites, well that's time wasted you could have "invested" into your future! Trust me, you don't need to know what everyone is up to or what they had on their toast for breakfast this morning. Life goes on without knowing these things..

10: You Don't Have The X Factor
If we are to believe everything society told us, nobody would get anything done, nobody would achieve anything! Society tells you, you're not good enough, you're not smart enough, you're not good looking enough, you're not talented enough. Rubbish! Anyone that believes these lies is using them as excuses not to achieve all that they can. The simple truth is, there are many jerks, muppets, fools and idiots that are successful today who chose not to listen to this negative rubbish and believe what they wanted and not what society or someone else told them.

Conclusion
Success isn't something that comes to you. You have to go to it. Success doesn't have a pair of legs and can't be summoned by whistling at it like you would a dog. Success is always situated at the top of a hill and you're situated at the bottom. If you want to grab a hold of that success in your hands, you need to put in the footwork, the legwork, you need to carve a path towards it. And never give up or give in until you're at the top with it!
