1. They look for and find opportunities where others see nothing.
2. They find a lesson while others only see a problem.
3. They are solution focused.
4. They consciously and methodically create their own success, while others hope success will find them. They have the ability to lead others. Highly successful people have that charisma of leading others and getting tasks easily done by other people. They understand every member of their team and know how to carry them along.
5. They are fearful like everyone else, but they are not controlled or limited by fear. They are self-confident. Highly successful people feel great about themselves and their abilities. They are not afraid to take risk and make difficult decisions. Self-confidence is the will power to refuse to be afraid and shy in any condition one finds himself. And it can be developed over time by training.
6. They ask the right questions – the ones which put them in a productive, creative, positive mindset and emotional state. They are focused. Highly successful people know what they want from life and do go for them no matter what the circumstances or state of things at the moment are presenting to them. They understand what is needful and how to separate what is and what is not important from their clustered daily activities. Despite they accomplish a lot; they don't get involved with so many projects at a time, rather they ensure that each of their projects is followed and attended to as they planned.
7. They rarely complain (waste of energy). All complaining does is put the complainer in a negative and unproductive state.
8. They don’t blame (what’s the point?). They take complete responsibility for their actions and outcomes (or lack thereof).
9. While they are not necessarily more talented than the majority, they always find a way to maximise their potential. They get more out of themselves. They use what they have more effectively. They are specialists in their areas of interest. Despite the fact that highly successful people do have an open mind in all subjects, they always have areas they specialize in - areas they have authority in. They can not afford to be jack of all trade but master of none. Rather, they find an area of concentration to harness and explore for the addition of value to mankind. They do what they know how to do very well.
10. They are busy, productive and proactive. While most are laying on the couch, planning, over-thinking, sitting on their hands and generally going around in circles, they are out there getting the job done.
11. They align themselves with like-minded people. They understand the importance of being part of a team. They create win-win relationships.
12. They are ambitious; they want amazing – and why shouldn’t they? They consciously choose to live their best life rather than spending it on auto-pilot.
13. They have clarity and certainty about what they want (and don’t want) for their life. They actually visualise and plan their best reality while others are merely spectators of life.
14. They innovate rather than imitate.
15. They don’t procrastinate and they don’t spend their life waiting for the ‘right time’. Highly successful people don't have the habit of needless delaying where prompt and decisive actions are needed. They always start when their plans demand so and don't wait for a "perfect time" to start, as "perfect time" may not always be determined easily.
16. They are life-long learners. They constantly work at educating themselves, either formally (academically), informally (watching, listening, asking, reading, student of life) or experientially (doing, trying)… or all three. Successful people always put extra effort to learning from life itself; knowing fully well that real knowledge consist in what happens around them and knowing how to deal with them appropriately.
17. They are glass half full people – while still being practical and down-to-earth. They have an ability to find the good. They are selfless. Highly successful do what they do not mainly because of selfish interests, but because they want to make the world around them better than they meet it. You may see them with 'luxuries', but their lives do not consist in those "luxuries". If you have the ability to see beyond your optical eyes, you will notice that their major interest is to impart the world around them positively.
18. They consistently do what they need to do, irrespective of how they are feeling on a given day. They don’t spend their life stopping and starting. They don't do things because everyone else is doing those things. But they do those things that will be contributory to their success even if they are some worth difficult. They consciously live a life of self-restraint.
19. They take calculated risks – financial, emotional, professional, psychological.
20. They deal with problems and challenges quickly and effectively, they don’t put their head in the sand. They face their challenges and use them to improve themselves.
21. They don’t believe in, or wait for fate, destiny, chance or luck to determine or shape their future. They believe in, and are committed to actively and consciously creating their own best life. They are hard working. They are industrious and diligent and always ensure that all that is needed to be done is not left out. They do not leave out today's job for tomorrow. And they always make sure they work smart in their quest for greater accomplishments.
22. While many people are reactive, they are proactive. They take action before they have to.
23. They are more effective than most at managing their emotions. They feel like we all do but they are not slaves to their emotions.
24. They are good communicators and they consciously work at it. They have good understanding. They have the ability to observe and explain the meaning or the nature of somebody or something. This gives them advantage in handling difficult issues with ease as they will always have insight into what ought to be done, as well as how and when they ought to be done. They are good communicators. Highly successful people know how to successfully pass across their thoughts to those they are meant for without causing any ill will. Their words are well fitted and always carry the right message at any particular point in time.
25. They have a plan for their life and they work methodically at turning that plan into a reality. Their life is not a clumsy series of unplanned events and outcomes.
26. Their desire to be exceptional means that they typically do things that most won’t. They become exceptional by choice. We’re all faced with live-shaping decisions almost daily. Successful people make the decisions that most won’t and don’t.
27. While many people are pleasure junkies and avoid pain and discomfort at all costs, successful people understand the value and benefits of working through the tough stuff that most would avoid.
28. They have identified their core values (what is important to them) and they do their best to live a life which is reflective of those values.
29. They have balance. While they may be financially successful, they know that the terms money and success are not interchangeable. They understand that people who are successful on a financial level only, are not successful at all. Unfortunately we live in a society which teaches that money equals success. Like many other things, money is a tool. It’s certainly not a bad thing but ultimately, it’s just another resource. Unfortunately, too many people worship it.
30. They understand the importance of discipline and self-control. They are strong. They are happy to take the road less travelled. They are greatly committed to whatever course they believe in. Highly successful people do not take lightly any venture they undertake. They always ensure that they put in all their best to succeed in any of their endeavors as well as responsible for what they stand for. No matter what it seems the results of their actions or inactions are going to produce, they always maintain their grounds.
31. They are secure. They do not derive their sense of worth of self from what they own, who they know, where they live or what they look like.
32. They are generous and kind. They take pleasure in helping others achieve.
33. They are humble and they are happy to admit mistakes and to apologise. They are confident in their ability, but not arrogant. They are happy to learn from others. They are happy to make others look good rather than seek their own personal glory. They give everyone around them the respect due to them. They know how to carry anyone along without hurting peoples' feelings. Despite their humbleness, they know how to draw a line between timidity and humility.
34. They are adaptable and embrace change, while the majorities are creatures of comfort and habit. They are comfortable with, and embrace, the new and the unfamiliar.
35. They keep themselves in shape physically, not to be mistaken with training for the Olympics or being obsessed with their body. They understand the importance of being physically well. They are not all about looks; they are more concerned with function and health. Their body is not who they are, it’s where they live.
36. They have a big engine. They work hard and are not lazy.
37. They are resilient. When most would throw in the towel, they’re just warming up.
38. They are open to, and more likely to act upon, feedback.
39. They don’t hang out with toxic people. They are people of high integrity. Highly successful people do not profess to believe what they don't believe. They are trustworthy as well as straightforward in their dealings with their contacts. Their yes is always yes to anyone anywhere at anytime.
40. They don’t invest time or emotional energy into things which they have no control of.
41. They are happy to swim against the tide, to do what most won’t. They are not people pleasers and they don’t need constant approval.
42. They are more comfortable with their own company than most.
43. They set higher standards for themselves (a choice we can all make), which in turn produces greater commitment, more momentum, a better work ethic and of course, better results.
44. They don’t rationalise failure. While many are talking about their age, their sore back, their lack of time, their poor genetics, their ‘bad luck’, their nasty boss and their lack of opportunities (all good reasons to fail), they are finding a way to succeed despite all their challenges.
45. They have an off switch. They know how to relax, enjoy what they have in their life and to have fun.
46. Their career is not their identity, it’s their job. It’s not who they are, it’s what they do.
47. They are more interested in effective than they are in easy. While the majority look for the quickest, easiest way (the shortcut), they look for the course of action which will produce the best results over the long term.
48. They finish what they start. While so many spend their life starting things that they never finish, successful people get the job done – even when the excitement and the novelty have worn off. Even when it ain’t fun.
49. They are multi-dimensional, amazing, wonderful complex creatures (as we all are). They realise that not only are they physical and psychological beings, but emotional and spiritual creatures as well. They consciously work at being healthy and productive on all levels.
50. They practice what they preach. They don’t talk about the theory, they live the reality.
2. They find a lesson while others only see a problem.
3. They are solution focused.
4. They consciously and methodically create their own success, while others hope success will find them. They have the ability to lead others. Highly successful people have that charisma of leading others and getting tasks easily done by other people. They understand every member of their team and know how to carry them along.
