Napoleon Hill is an interesting author and quite controversial but still good content to reflect upon.

In this episode, I want to reflect on:
Why people fail in their careers?
What hinders us from getting to the career goal set we have?
How can we avoid doing the same thing in our own life?

Here are some major causes of failure:
  • Lack of Ambition to Aim Above Mediocrity
    • Setting exciting goals, thinking bigger
  • Lack of Self-Discipline
    • Know what motivates you 
  • Ill Health
    • Sleep, exercise and food
  • Procrastination
    • Waiting for more data, better time, other circumstances 
  • Lack of Persistence
    • Not closing loops, follow up
  • Lack of a Well Defined Power of Decision
    • Bias to action and acceptance of not all information available 
  • Lack of Concentration of Effort
    • Too many things going on
    • Combination of tasks
    • Repurposing 
    • Repeating 
  • Lack of Enthusiasm
    • Passion and interest starts often with going deep 
  • Intolerance
    • Open and curious 
  • Inability to Cooperate With Others
    • Only teams achieve big results 
    • Delegation 
    • Leadership

Join The Effective Statistician LinkedIn group

I want to help the community of statisticians, data scientists, programmers and other quantitative scientists to be more influential, innovative, and effective. I believe that as a community we can help our research, our regulatory and payer systems, and ultimately physicians and patients take better decisions based on better evidence.

I work to achieve a future in which everyone can access the right evidence in the right format at the right time to make sound decisions.

When my kids are sick, I want to have good evidence to discuss with the physician about the different therapy choices.

When my mother is sick, I want her to understand the evidence and being able to understand it.

When I get sick, I want to find evidence that I can trust and that helps me to have meaningful discussions with my healthcare professionals.

I want to live in a world, where the media reports correctly about medical evidence and in which society distinguishes between fake evidence and real evidence.

Let’s work together to achieve this.
