1. They
protect themselves
One of the toughest veneers of successful people is the sense of self worth – you can see it almost a mile away. Ever wondered why – they have internalized it so deeply into their being that its nearly impossible to separate this trait from the person they are. No matter what life throws at them, they have this Teflon ability to persevere.
2. They take risks
When people typically move back or away from unfamiliar situations, Successful people are at the front of the line going in the other direction. These people you know who are constantly learning new things, taking on “impossible” projects and redefining themselves.
3. They seek results
When most people don’t get the results they had hoped for usually, retreat is baked into their DNA. On the other hand when you know whatever you do will yield results, Starting from there is the way they approach any project. Whether it’s a home improvement project or running that triathlon or building a new vertical at the office, they are always aware! Results will give them a real time gauge of their next steps.
4. Failure isn’t an option
Years ago I came across a simple yet powerful maxim – there is no FAILURE, only FEEDBACK. It did take me a while to breathe it into my life but looking at life through this lens helps them constantly grow no matter what the results.
5. Goal posts are moving constantly
While most people look for goals and try really hard to achieve them, be it of the new years kind or more serious nature, they tend to hit road blocks very easily. Achieving substance then becomes an arduous task. Successful people have figured out that building not just Big goals but having very specific goal posts along the way. Keeping them in the game regardless of the negative” feedback they are getting helps them be their best and strive to achieve more and more.
