Unwilling to take Risk : Success in one’s life depend upon one’s will power. If will power is weak, then decision making will be poor. Will power is the ability to control our habits.  It is an ability to reject or accept the desire to indulge in harmful bad habits.  A strong will power strengthens our determination towards goal.  To carry out an assigned task, we eventually need a certain degree of will power along with its related risk.  Success always depends on your willingness, on your passion, on your determination, on your hard work.  If you are not eager enough to be successful in life, then either your will power is weak, or you are afraid of being failed. Your willingness always lives under the shadow of fear or risk.  A self-control always strengthens your will power and improve your habits of taking risk.  Setting up a new business involves some risk-taking and willingness to run the business successfully.  A risk taker is someone who risk in the hope of achievements and keep a great potential for loss and tolerates uncertainty.

Risk-takers are happier than those who do not take a risk.  Even if you fail, you'll walk away with more experience and more knowledge, which can lead you to further success in other areas and at least one study shows that risk takers end up more satisfied with their lives because of it.  As against those who are afraid of taking a risk, do neither experience nor knowledge.  Therefore, it is necessary to know whether you want to be victor or victim of the circumstances.

Some people,  don’t change much in their outer lives while others go through marriage and relationship breakups, occupational changes, and especially in the activities they participate in.  They are habitual in taking risk and experience of their confidence in their efforts. 

Inner and outer changes we make affect our relationships with other people, and relationships are among the most important things in our lives.   We don’t want to damage them because of their importance. Our happiness, peace of mind, and contentment depend on our relationships being fulfilling, satisfying, and enjoyable. But, if we are serious about Personal Growth, we must put them at risk. They may become better or they may come to an end.

Lack of persistence, dedication and Devotion towards goals : If you have persistence, you continue to do the task, even if it is difficult, as your devotion and determination towards the goal is strong and powerful.  Skills comes only with practice and persistence.  Persistence is the ability to continue and work for achievement.  It can make a big difference, if you don’t have an important qualities of persistence, courage, patience, and devotion.  A successful software Engineer acquires the technical skills of developing codes through consistent debugging and testing the codes persistently.  If his persistency in developing codes is poor, then debugging and testing the code takes a lot of time, resulting in slow development of his technical skills.

Temptation of instant money :  Every business person works for instant money and it leads to increase in his temptation of earning more and more money.  Instant gratification is a habit, which indulge in long term pain and ultimate pleasure in the task is lost with dissatisfaction. To get rid of such habit of temptation of instant gratification, it is inevitable and necessary that you have to concisely to study, analyze and follow the steps that will distract of this temptation.

Lack of priorities :  A lack of priorities means doing something thoughtless without knowing what is the most important in life, business, task etc.,   A good business person knows how to priorities the pressure of work, if multiple task is in hand and keep aside an unimportant work.  If you fail to prioritize the work, then you start doing as per likes and dislikes or in terms of requests, money.  A successful business person always decides category, classes of work and arrange in chronological order of priorities with time frame for their achievements.  If we don’t have priorities in life, you start taking up so many things / tasks in hand at time and ultimately, you gain nothing or you carry out an unimportant work/ task and fail to pay attention to important work.  A lack of priorities is due to office / work pressures, multiple responsibilities, lack of time.   In business, or life, we do planning with list of works, priorities with time frame, budget cost, forecast if it is delayed in terms of money etc.,
