For example, if someone is looking to start their own business but doesn't make use of available resources or consult with professionals when setting up their venture, they might run into problems further down the line due to lack of foresight or experience.

This can cause delays in reaching goals or reaching them at all as well as setbacks along the way which could have been avoided had more preparation gone into taking advantage of the opportunity at hand.

Particularly if the individual feels like they've let themselves down by failing to act when presented with an opportunity that could have led them closer towards their goals and objectives.

This can lead to feelings of regret, disappointment, and even loss of self-esteem which can influence how someone approaches potential future chances when they arise again - thus creating a cycle whereby they miss out on further opportunities because they don't feel confident enough in themselves or their abilities to take action and make changes where needed.
