Abstract:
Steven Covey had tremendous success with his seven habits for success in business in particular and life in general. This article takes a light-hearted, irreverent look at analyzing the habits of the people who do not have such great prosperity. Chronically less than successful people suffer from seven diseases (or habits) including: playing the victim, failure to see the bigger picture, a lack of priorities, destructive competition, blind spots, a lack of creativity and resistance to change. The article really explores how some people stop themselves from becoming all that they could be.
