While most business advice focuses on actions for achieving success, many individuals struggle to attract new, quality prospects. In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Terri Levine breaks away from conventional wisdom and flips the script. Instead of advising on what to do to succeed, she highlights 5 Things to Avoid to Ensure You Don't Succeed. First on her list is ‘Giving up.' She emphasizes that giving up is a sure way to derail your entrepreneurial journey before it even begins. The second pitfall is ‘Insisting on figuring everything out on your own instead of seeking help.' Dr. Levine underscores the importance of leveraging the wisdom and experience of others to navigate the complexities of business. ‘Not putting in the work' takes the third spot, emphasizing that success demands dedication and hard work. Fourth, she highlights the damaging impact of a victim mindset and how it can hold you back from realizing your potential. Lastly, she advises against constantly chasing the next shiny new thing, a common pitfall that frequently ensnares aspiring entrepreneurs and individuals on the path to success.   Key Highlights From The Episode: [00:04] Episode introduction [01:20] 5 Things to do to ensure you won't be successful [01:25] #1 Giving up  [01:48] #2 Insisting on figuring everything out on your own instead of seeking help [02:16] #3 Not putting in the work [02:48] #4 Having a victim mindset [03:20] #5 Start the next shiny new thing   Golden Nuggets: • The only way you can ensure your failure in business is by giving up quickly.
