Core Drivers of Excuses

Three primary drivers behind excuse-making:

• Fear: Fear of failure or rejection keeps many from stepping out of their comfort zones.

• Indecision: Uncertainty can paralyze decision-making processes.

• Lack of Responsibility: Failing to take responsibility encourages a cycle where making excuses becomes habitual.

Consequences
