Successful people know what they have to do to reach the top. Just as important, they know what not to do if they want to succeed. From the Success magazine website comes this list of activities to avoid on your way up:

  • Going back to failed strategies. You’ll fail from time to time. Just be sure to recognize what you do wrong so you don’t keep repeating it.
  • Pretending to be someone else. If you’re not being true to your personality, people will see it. Strive to make decisions that authentically reflect your values.
  • Trying to change other people. You won’t be able to turn co-workers, employees, managers, customers, and even friends into the people you want them to be. Seek out people whose interests and ambitions match your own.
  • Short-term thinking. Don’t obsess about today’s problems, nor trade long-term benefits for immediate gain. Focus on the big picture—your long-term goals.
  • Trusting the wrong people. Learn whom you can depend on for honesty, assistance, and support. Remember that no one is perfect, and build relationships you can count on.
