Number One
Self-Control
The ability to control and manage your own
mind, body and emotions, and interactions
with people is crucial. People with a high
degree of self-control know what they’re
feeling, what their emotions mean, and how
these emotions can affect other people.
Optimism & Positivity
Successful people do not get discouraged easily, they let
their optimism drive them forward. Where others might
think something is too difficult, successful people face
those challenges with energy and positivity.
Number Two
Open-Minded
The only thing constant is
change and as the years
pass the people who refuse
to learn, adapt and grow will
be left behind. In order to
be successful you need to
be open to learning about
new things and exploring
new experiences.
Number Three
Think Long-Term
If you want to be successful, you can’t leave that to chance. Successful
people spend time planning for their future professionally, personally
and financially. They think carefully before making decisions and they
understand how each of those decisions impacts long-term goals.
Number Four
Take Risks
Failure often provides us with
some of life’s biggest learning
opportunities. That is why
successful people embrace
this as well as the uncertainty
and risk that are inherent
parts of becoming successful
in your field.
Number Five
Keep Things
Simple
Anyone can make
something complicated.
Successful people know
how to keep things simple
for themselves and others.
This helps them manage
everything easier as well as
successfully delegate more
to other people.
Number Six
Embrace Discomfort
Sometimes in life and business it can seem like things just won’t
go right, then in some cases they go horribly wrong. Successful
people embrace this and learn to roll with the punches by
understanding there are somethings in life they can’t control.
Number Seven
Never Give Up
Every overnight success you’ve
heard about likely has another
side to the story, like the burning
desire of the founders to
succeed and countless days/
nights spent working. Successful
people learn to love the process
as much as the outcome and
stay committed to their vision
through thick and thin.
Number Eight
Spend Time With
The Right People
You’re the average of the 5 people you spend the most time
with. Don’t be afraid to step outside your circle to ask for help
from people who have been where you are. You’ll be surprised
how many people are willing to help and offer advice and
which ones might turn into valuable relationships.
Number Nine
Show Gratitude
It’s important to show gratitude
towards others as well as your
self. Many times, people focus
on what they don’t have,
instead focus on what you do
have and you’ll be surprised
how quickly your perspective on
success and life can change.
Number Ten
Embrace Change
Successful people know that the world is and will always continue to
change. In some cases they even find ways to benefit from those
changes in the world. If you want to be successful, learn how to stay
ahead of the curve by studying and embracing change.
Number Eleven
Life / Work Balance
While it does take sacrifices to be successful, it’s important to have
balance in your life. Spend time doing things you enjoy and let
your self relax, it can be difficult for those of us who like to work
tirelessly, but it’s important to slow down and enjoy the journey as
much as the destination.
Number Twelve
Want Others To Succeed
Successful people want to share their success with the people they care
about. Business partners and customers, family friends, employees
and their families, etc. Successful act with generosity and gratitude
effecting positive change in the lives the people around them.
Number Thirteen
Have APurpose
Many successful people are fueled by
an inner drive that gives them a sense
of higher purpose in life as well as the
desire to build something that will not
only outlive them but positively effect
change the world.
Number Fourteen
Share Graciously
They say the more you share, the more you get back in return (and
not just in terms of money). Successful people know that it’s
important that they share their knowledge, resources, time and in
some cases money, with the people who would benefit from it most.
Number Fifteen
Accept Responsibility
You’ll never hear a successful
person blame someone else and
in many cases, will take the
blame all together for their
team/organization/etc.
Successful people own their
failures and make a point to
learn and grow from
those experiences.
Number Sixteen
Never Make Excuses
The one thing successful people never do is make excuses. They know
how to create their own success and luck. Don’t blame the government,
the economy, lack of time, lack of money or anything else. If you want to
be successful, stop making excusing and earn it.
