When you are in race to achieve a goal, it is pertinent that you follow whatever rules might have been laid down to get you to that desired destination.

Usually, Businessmen and women read about what they should do, buy, and read to be great and successful. But how about things they should not do?

Our list comprises of things a good businessman should never do.

1. Wake up without a plan

Time management is a crucial part of being an entrepreneur. There are only so many hours in a day, so to be efficient you need to know what your goals are and what tasks you need to get done prior to starting your day. If you are scrambling to create a plan of attack every day you are going to be in trouble. End each day by mapping out the following day’s to-do list.

2. Never Look back

As an entrepreneur, you are going to face hard times, difficult decisions and possibly even failure at some point. Don’t let small bumps in the road stop your forward progress. Find ways to maneuver around obstacles and continue to push forward, never looking back.

3. Choose short-term comfort over long-term benefit.

Once successful people know they want something that requires a painful, time-limited step, they do not mind the painful step because it gets them to a long-term benefit. Living out this principle is one of the most fundamental differences between successful and unsuccessful people, both personally and professionally.

4. Be scared to make changes, Evolve or adapt

You need to be willing and able to adjust your plan and overall strategy, because there is a very good chance that you will need to adapt to maintain success in the future. Imagine if Apple never adapted and just stuck to making computers? After releasing the iPod it started manufacturing smartphones, tablets and now are releasing its first wearable technology, the Apple Watch. Once just a computer company, it is now a consumer-electronics powerhouse.

5. Let failure stop you

Most statistics state that, eight out of every 10 new businesses fail. Successful entrepreneurs go into everything knowing that there is a chance of failure. If in fact they fail, it is viewed as part of their growth and they keep plugging along.

Same old story.

Perhaps you'd rather read a thread about "who wore it best," while complaining about "lack of jobs and opportunities." '

Improve yourself every day, or watch other people make something of themselves, while you say unfounded things like "they were lucky."
