Skip Prichard, author of The Book of Mistakes: 9 Secrets for Creating a Successful Future describes some of the mistakes that are holding us back in our careers.

  • Not pursuing your own dream.
    Do what energizes you and not what someone wanted for you to do.
  • Be wary of others' valuations.
    Don't accept the negative comments of other people when it comes to your self worth.
  • Not being accountable.
    Own your mistakes.
  • Wrong crowd.
    “You will be the same person in five years except for the books you read and the people you meet,” says motivational speaker Charlie “Tremendous” Jones.
  • Choose your friends wisely.
  • Staying in your comfort zone.
    "Success is about consistently doing uncomfortable things.” says Skip Prichard.
