CEO CHAT : Top Three Mistakes

THE TOP THREE MISTAKES WE MAKE IN OUR YOUTH

Hi, Shesh, thank you for the great CEO Chronicles articles! I am 27, and was wondering – what are the top three mistakes that young people make that impacts their futures?

NEGLECTING SELF-BELIEF

Hi, Simone! There are many silly things that we do when we are young that may have negative consequences – smoking, partying too hard, doing drugs, playing truant, etc. But these pale in comparison with the ‘irrevocable’ paths that we often take, which include

1. Allowing others to determine who we are

Too often, we allow our parents, our family, our friends, our society to dictate who we are and what we become. Then, we resent this and them forever.

2. Not investing in ourselves

Too often, we don’t invest in developing our own purpose, in knowing our strengths and limitations, in deciding what we want. Then, we spend our lives envying others.

3. Inviting fear to rule

Too often, we allow ourselves to fear failure so much that we never seek to achieve our potential, and lead lives focusing on the incremental rather than the incredible. Then, we wallow in quiet misery.

Makes sense? What mistakes would you rank highest?
