Complacency -
‘I think it’s dangerous to think that you’re successful, because then you become complacent.’ – Tommy Hilfiger
This ties back to that mask of success over failure. At first glance, success and failure are polar opposites. But if you think about it, this isn’t necessarily the case. It’s complacency that blurs the line between the two.
At one moment, you might feel very successful and happy with what you’ve achieved. But at the same time, failure might be creeping in without you realizing. You might feel like your achievements are so big that nothing can threaten them.
It’s this mindset that makes even the most successful organizations fall down.
There’s always something you can do to take your success further. That’s the beauty of entrepreneurship – where the sky is the limit. No matter what you’ve achieved, always be on the lookout for new opportunities.
Stop resting on your past successes. Start building new success stories. Never rest on your laurels...I see it all the time. In short - complacency is the beginning of rot.
