THE BOOK OF MISTAKES is the inspiring business fable of a young professional named David. Two years into the workforce, David has already become embittered with lost confidence, misdirection, and growing apathy over a list of all-too-familiar stresses.
Here are the nine mistakes commonly made but rarely addressed:
1. Working on someone else's dream.
2. Allowing someone else to define your value.
3. Accepting excuses.
4. Surrounding yourself with the wrong people.
5. Staying in your comfort zone.
6. Allowing temporary setbacks to become personal failures.
7. Blending in instead of standing out.
8. Thinking there is a fixed and limited amount of success available.
9. Believing you have all the time in the world.
