6 stressful things that are preventing Ghanaians from being truly successful

Stop spending time with people who don’t add any value to your life.

1. Toxic relationships

Don’t hang out with wrong people. Time is precious so waste it wisely. Stop spending time with people who don’t add any value to your life. If your boyfriend is asking you to quit your job without securing you a job first, advice yourself, woman.

To succeed, you need relationships that will make you feel good about yourself, support you and help you plan for your future.

2. Let go of the past

If the past memories are too bitter to talk about or share, you have to let it go. You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-visiting the old one.

3. Believing in perfectionism

Many people think of perfectionism as striving to be your best, but it is not about self-improvement; it's about earning approval and acceptance - Brene Brown.

Many people carry their dreams like a handbag because they think the world will reject their concept or ideas. In reality, the world appreciates people who impact lives, not perfectionists.

4. Holding on to your fears

Your failures and mistakes are supposed to shape you into a better person.

Once you learn the hard, you will be extra careful and strategy for your next project. Most of the best recipes, perfumes, formulae were made through countless try or error sections.

Don’t allow your fears to get in the way of who you are meant to be and what you need to accomplish.

Ask your mentor to tell you his or her success story and you will be amazed how to managed to hit the jackpot in his or her career.

5. Accepting your own excuses

Some Ghanaian like giving excuses too much. They have the perfect excuse for every situation and that won’t get you what you want. Successful people are risk takers who take things into their own hands and make it happen. Excuses cause tension, while power creates the determination.

6. Stop the jealousy

Competition is good in business but don’t be concerned with who may be more successful than you.

Instead, be in your own comfortable lead and beat your own goals. Success is a battle between you and yourself, no one else. Make it worth your while; make it about you.
