23. 3 – Drivers of Failure
And their solutions

24. 1. Complacency
 “Goodenough, never is”
 The only use of history is to learn from it. Gloating or lamenting about
past glory is the surest way of ensuring that it remains in the past.
24
People who don’t learn from their history
are condemned to repeat it

25. 2. Not working together
 Look in the mirror for mistakes
 Look out of the window to give credit
 Your virtue is not enhanced by someone else’s weakness
 There is not a single instance in history where someone succeeded entirely on
their own
Disagree without being disagreeable

26. 3. Excuses and blaming
 Stop blaming others for your situation
 Analyze what went wrong and create a plan to avoid it in the future.
 Being objective, even hard, on yourself is the best way to avoid repeating
mistakes.
26
Adversity comes to strengthen

27. Only action gets results
 Ask yourself,
 “What amI givingup my dreamfor?
 “What is the real price that I am paying?”
 What are my metrics to measure progress?
 “What do I want to do about all this?”
27
“If you want to see what someone values, see what
they measure.” ~ Mikel Harry
