26. 13 Personalities Traits That Can Keep You from Success GRAIN OF SALT TIME

http://www.inc.com/lolly-daskal/13-personalities-traits-that-can-keep-you-from-success.html

Here are 13 personality types that, left unchecked, can keep you from being as successful as you'd like to be:

• The procrastinator is always waiting for the right moment, the right circumstance, to act. Procrastination is the worst kind of self-fullfilling prophecy. It's demotivating and leads to apathy.
  
  
• The privileged feels entitled to success--but without passion, perseverance, and hard work, the only thing that's likely to appear is disappointment.
  
  
• The pessimist is always negative. Pessimism leads to fatalism and self-sabotaging despair.
  
  
• The distracted is always preoccupied with SOS--shiny object syndrome. Too much time spent on social media, e-mail, and the rabbit holes of the web instead of setting goals and working toward them brings ... nothing but lost time.
  
  
• The loafer passively assumes that things will just work out by themselves instead of tackling problems and working toward solutions.
  
  
• The dreamer has lots of big ideas. But every dream needs direction and a system of execution for success.
  
  
• The nonbeliever isn't built for faith, and can never see the possibility of their own success--another self-fulfilling prophecy.
  
  
• The frightened lacks the courage to jump in, to feel the fear and do it anyway. Fear of doing is another way of fearing success.
  
  
• The analytical becomes too paralyzed with overthinking to let go and make something happen. Everything plays out in their mind, but it never goes further.
  
  
• The lazy lacks any motivation. With no mojo, no drive, no ambition, there's not even anything to move toward.
  
  
• The visionless doesn't have a clue what they want to achieve, they just keep trying things and hope something will work. It makes for a hard road to success.
  
  
• The small-minded never looks beyond. What's here is good enough, no need for improvement or growth.
  
  
• The nonproducer is always busy but never really productive. There's a lot of action, but nothing happening.
