A lot of times you might have seen businesses go down, you might be thinking it’s something that is normal but most times it’s the attitude of the business owner that actually kills the business. You may be wondering how attitudes can kill business. I will be discussing about attitudes that can kill business in a bit.

Okay, let’s go…


Lazy attitude
At the top of my list will be lazy attitude. Being lazy can kill business in the sense that when you act lazy you don’t work hard. You don’t put your best to what you are doing and this can cause setback in business.

When you see lazy people, they are dependent on people around them and they slow work down.

Lazy people don’t take up responsibilities and they slack on opportunities they see which can affect productivity of business.

Being lazy is bad and can ruin a business down.

Selfish attitude
People with this attitude can easily be noticed, it shows in their mannerism, the way they talk and work.

They are not interested in adding value to their clients, all they want to get is money.

After getting the funds they want they can’t justify it because they have added no value to their client.

Unfriendly attitude
Not being friendly with clients can also move business backward. When you see people like this they are only interested in achieving their own goals, they don’t care about satisfying their clients.

Unfriendly people don’t build relationship with clients; they are only interested in sales figure. What they do not understand is that if customers don’t keep patronizing, it can kill business. This is why they need to build good relationship with customers.


Careless attitude

People with careless attitude don’t take work serious. When you see people that don’t keep to time often, that is a sign they are careless.

Another trait you will notice about this group is they don’t keep to their promises. They keep making promises but won’t deliver.

If you also look deeper, you will notice people like these don’t set goals, they don’t plan, they don’t keep track of what they have done, they only work and continue working aiming at nothing.


For any business that dies, there can be several reasons for it, which may include some of the points we have discussed. My advice is to avoid these attitudes and you will see the positive effect in your business.
