All successful people do similar things, and share the same habits.
“Success leaves tracks. It’s these “tracks,” the behaviors and habits, that set them apart from the ordinary folks who just work their 9-to-5 jobs, clocking in and out every day, never looking to get ahead.” -Author and Success Expert Brian Tracy
If you want be one one of the greats, and leave the ordinary behind, then prepare to implement these habits into your life, and practice them everyday.
LifeDaily’s 10 Things Successful People Do Differently:
1. They have clear goals
Vague goals lead to vague results. If a goal is not clear or specific, and it does not have a timeline, it is as meaningless as a thought or an idea. And we all know that ideas mean nothing unless action is taken on them.
2. They have attainable short-term goals
The long-term goals of a successful person may be grandiose, but their short-term goals are attainable. For e.g. workout 4 times a week this week- 2 days of boxing, and 2 days of weights. As opposed to an unattainable short-term goal, e.g. lose 20lbs by next week.
3. They take responsibility
Successful people know that they are the masters of their own destiny. They do not complain about the things that stopped them from success, because they are aware that all of their problems can and will be overcome. They also do not make excuses.
4. They do the work
Successful people are hard workers. They do not expect a hand out from anyone, and they put in the work to get the results: they wake up early, stay up late, and avoid anything that will get in their way and throw them off track.
5. They are not afraid to ask questions
Successful people know that the only way they are going to learn more and do better is if they ask questions. They are not afraid to ask questions, or appear weak or vulnerable.
6. They do not shy away from confrontation
In a successful persons life, there is no time to shy away from confrontation, or uncomfortable conversations. These conversations must be had face-to-face, and they tackle them head on.
7. They believe in themselves and their vision
The most successful people in the world have unshakeable confidence in themselves and their vision. Without believing in themselves, they would give up too easily after a few obstacles got in their way.
8. They emulate other successful people
If you want to be wealthy, hang out with a wealthy person, and if you want to be poor, hang out with a poor person. You emulate and pick up the behaviors of those around, so successful people make sure they only surround themselves with other successful people.
9. They are always learning
To constantly evolve and become better, successful people are constantly learning. Whether its from books, trade magazines or conferences, they know that there is always a better and more efficient way of doing what they’re doing.
10. They make mistakes and learn from them
A truly successful person is not afraid to make mistakes, and when they do make a mistake, they learn from it. They also never make the same mistake twice.
11. They take care of themselves
You rarely ever see an obese or overweight successful person, because their health is too important to them and their business. Mental focus and physical energy are top priorities to a successful person, and they take care of both.
12. They rest and recharge
In order to perform better at work and life, unplugging and relaxing is essential. Maybe it’s for a long weekend, or more, but once successful people get back to the grind, they are more efficient than they were before, with their minds and bodies recharged.
