The Seven Habits of Highly Ineffective People
A playful detour from Covey’s playbook: here’s the satirical field guide to self-sabotage in entrepreneurship — so you can spot it, stop it, and do the opposite.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!1) Procrastination Paralysis
Why start today when tomorrow can panic? Masters of delay stack tasks, miss deadlines, and watch opportunities ghost them.
2) Fear-of-Failure Fortress
Build high walls, see no risks. Safe feels cozy — until growth knocks and can’t get in.
3) Perpetual Perfectionism
Pixel-pushing forever. Ship? Never. Brilliant ideas live and die in endless “one more tweak” cycles.
4) Communication Catastrophe
Listen rarely, assume often. Messages garble, teams fumble, trust crumbles.
5) Rigidity Residency
Market shifts? Not my problem. Strategy stays stuck while reality moves on.
6) Micro-Management Mania
Hover, smother, and wonder why your team’s creativity flatlines. Delegation is not a four-letter word.
7) Lack of Self-Reflection
No mirrors, no progress. Skip feedback, repeat mistakes, call it destiny.
Satire aside, spotting these traps early is a power-up. Choose growth, not excuses — your future customers will thank you.
