What makes you forget about the world around you?

Successful People “Do Not Stop” Learning!

Just because you are struggling, that doesn't mean you're not learning. Every failure has something to teach you, and everything you learn helps you grow.

If you are unwilling to learn, no one can help you; if you are determined to learn, no one can stop you!

Every great success requires some kind of struggle, and good things really do come to those who work hard and struggle to pursue the goals and dreams they believe in.

Successful People Keep a Positive Mindset At All Times!

Choosing to be positive and having a good attitude will determine a lot about your life. If you set your mind to positivity it can go a long way.

Be positive, not passive.

Instead of giving yourself reasons why you can't or shouldn't, give yourself reasons why you can and permission to go for it.

Happiness doesn't come from circumstances but always from within.

Successful People Understand the Importance of Staying Focused!

One of the worst setbacks that can happen is losing focus and allowing procrastination to step in! Important as it is, it's difficult to be focused and disciplined.

The best way is to stay in the here and now and to concentrate on everything going on in this particular moment.

Distraction wastes time, and procrastination keeps you from moving forward. Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment, and a mindset of focus builds that bridge.

Successful People Understand The Importance of Courage!

Doing anything great requires courage, but fear always has a way of showing up!

Courage does not mean being unafraid; having courage and showing courage means facing your fears, saying "I am scared and I am moving forward anyway."

Courage is like a muscle you can strengthen with use.

Successful People are Patient!

There's a fine line between moving forward and standing still. The most successful people do all they can to move forward, but they also have the patience to wait and watch.

Those who are impatient tend to lose out on great opportunities. Sometimes you have to wait for the right thing.

Successful People Set Challenging Goals!

Knowing what you want and willing yourself to reach it are two different things. When you know your goals, they motivate you.

Remember, if it doesn't challenge you, it won't change you. Set high goals and don't stop until you reach them.

Successful People Trust Themselves!

To do anything great, you have to be able to trust yourself and believe in your capabilities.

Success is not something that just happens but something you create. You have to have the confidence to banish any negative voices in your head. Don't give up on the things you believe in--and most important, don't give up on yourself.

Successful People Make "Networking" a Daily Practice!

The high achievers know and live by the saying, “Your network determines your net worth.”

So they make it a habit to work on building new bridges, collaborating, helping others, attending social events, getting back to people and being a man (or woman) of their word. 

Action Step: Make it a habit to meet at least one new person a day or making one follow up/catch up a day.

Successful People Make Self Development a Priority!

The super-successful focus heavily on learning new skills, reading practical books and listening or watching podcasts, interviews and informational courses. 

During a conversation with the best-selling author and leadership coach Simon Sinek, he said: 

“My work is never complete, we wake up with a hunger to learn, and no one is ever truly an expert. Anyone who says, 'I’m an expert at anything' has closed their mind to the idea that they might not know everything. 

There’s always more to learn. I’ve never considered myself an expert. I’m always a student of leadership. All the work is imperfect and all the learning is continuous.” 

Action Step: If you can read 20 full pages a day, or even listen to an hour-long audio/podcast, that roughly equals more than 36+ books a year of new knowledge; says entrepreneur and habits coach James Clear!

Successful People Practice Gratitude and Positive Self Talk!

Being grateful and focusing on the positive seems to be a common priority in the lives of the highly successful.

Something truly amazing that the best-selling author and neuroscientist Joe Dispenza shared with me is:

"If you’re saying affirmations like, 'I am abundant, I am wonderful, I am unstoppable,' but your emotional state is in fear, then your body is in opposition.

Thoughts are the language of the brain and feelings are the language of the body. Those thoughts will bounce off because they aren’t equal to the emotions of fear.

If a person feels gratitude, and has practiced it over and over authentically and they say affirmations like, 'I am wonderful, I am incredible, I am unstoppable' and so on… and it aligns with their autonomic nervous system then this is where the real power comes into play."

Gratitudes are powerful, and a lot of people nowadays are catching on to this.

Actions Step: Practice three gratitudes a day between you and a friend or spouse, or just by yourself. Whatever helps you to stick to this positive habit.

But ... here's the key with sharing your gratitudes:

You must justify why you are grateful, this strengthens the affect.

So when you say your gratitude, do it this way:

"I am grateful for having my spouse in my life because, he/she always supports me and encourages me to follow my dreams no matter what."

This reminds you why and has a deeper affect in you than just a surface level statement.

Successful People Practice Goal-Setting and Visualization!

Ninety-five percent of the successful achievers I have interviewed practice writing down their goals, plans, or vision for success on a regular basis.

They usually practice this first thing in the morning to set their intentions and to prime their mental state to prepare them for a day of challenges on the road to success.

Multi-millionaire entrepreneur Grant Cardone even mentioned to me that he writes his 10X goals out multiple times during the day to stay focused on the massive outcomes he desires.

Action step: Deepak Chopra told me to keep in mind when you are setting your goals to:

- Stretch for more than you can reach.

- Make everything measurable.

- Get agreements from your team and supporters.

- Record your progress.

- And set time limits.
