Brief introduction
The road to success is a long and tedious journey that requires lots of sacrifices, decision and readiness to accept changes and adjust to certain situation
Sometime to become successful and get closer to the person we want to become we don’t need to add more things rather we give up on some of them, example some things that distracts you and slow you down
Instead of adding more things to your life try removing some negative things that could hold you back some may be very easy while other may require more effort and time.
below is a list of some of the things you should remove to be more successful in life.
PROCRASTINATION
Procrastination is one of the greatest enemy of success and a big thief of time, it often cause under performance which in turn leads to unproductiveness but it will also interest you to know that we all have procrastinated at some point in our lives even the most successful people struggle with it every day but successful people do something that must of us don’t, they push pass it the don’t make excuses or allow it to affect their output by making it a habit, they come up with smart actionable strategies to break past the mental barriers and stay productive.
INCONSISTENCES
According to Williams Mathews who say that: the first law of success is concentration to bend all the energies to one point and to go directly to that point, looking neither to the right nor to the left
My teacher once share his disagreement with a saying that says don’t put all your eggs in one basket instead put all your eggs in one basket and watch it closely.
If you are naturally scatterbrained and tend to find a new hobby each week, it time to focus and find your one time purpose, cut out the noise and distraction and be focus by putting all your eggs in one basket.
Successful people know this that’s why they choose one thing and then beat it into submission, no matter what it is being full present and committed to one its indispensable

ALCOHOL
Nobody is asking you to stop the consumption of alcohol in fact alcohol is fun, but is slow you down and can stop us from achieving our goals, you don’t need to remove it from your life full time you just need to minimize it.
It’s okay to celebrate with cocktail after a fantastic week but if you find out that your evenings after work and your weekends is largely center around alcohol than its time to cut down your intake.
SELFISHNESS
If you look out only for yourself then it will be impossible for you to achieve success, because it will all come back to bite you big time.
On the journey to success you need to learn how to harness the skill of others, work with them don’t exploit them, make friends with those that can help you not making enemies who will ultimately help bring about your end.
NEGATIVE ATTITUDE
Always be positive to people, always look out for their strength not weakness, praise people smile at them be an encourager not a critic. It better to keep quite if you have nothing nice to say about someone
Negativity is a massive hindrance to success .
