I spend time putting things in my diary then when it comes to doing the thing, I make an excuse not to do it. Then plan more stuff... (duh!) Plan less do more, that’s a good one.

I have always been "too nice" with everyone. My parents taught me to be like this and its now in roots of my system. I have realised that by being too nice, you actually put people off. My biggest problem is that I tend to care a lot about what others think. I don't have any self esteem issues or anything and I'm a very positive individual but I always seem to care about what others think of me. I really need to work on that. And yes I have read the book "Feel The FEAR, and Do It Anyway." :D Awesome post. I have always been “too nice” with everyone. My parents taught me to be like this and its now in roots of my system.

To HELL with fear. And get your hands dirty. Now. Dive in and solve some problems. Kick some ass. Take a few names. People like 'nice' but business and getting shit done requires ditching 'nice' and taking some action. Dig it. #3 and #5 are right on the money. To HELL with fear. And get your hands dirty. Now.

But you know what? That doesn’t work either — at least not for the woman trying to always be so nice. That’s why I’m glad to see that Erica wrote up her 5 steps to stop being too nice. I was also pleasantly surprised by the book Ambitchous by Debra Condren, which promotes embracing ambition as a virtue, standing up for one’s self, and being authentic in order to be achieve success on one’s own terms and to be happy with one’s life.
