All successful people have a vision defined for their life and a clear understanding of how their work will help them create the life they want.
These individuals exhibit seven behavioral traits.
Time Management: Successful people are great time managers.
It is a behavior that allows them to protect their time, energy and yes, even their money. Since they know where they are going and what they must do, they know the people they need to meet and the actions that will take them where they want to go. They know that time is a precious commodity and there are only so many hours in a day. They use this time wisely.
Focus: Successful people are focused.
Being focused is like being a marathon runner. They continually put one foot in front of the other and know they have specific actions they must do to finish the job at hand (finish the race). They stay focused on those actions.
Discipline: Successful people are disciplined.
They do not lose sight of where they are going or how they are going to get there. They walk away from or delay activities that do not take them where they want to go. They develop routines that become habits and they are disciplined in those routines.
Persistent: Successful people are persistent.
They know where they are going and they do not quit. They may find bumps, curves and delays on the "Avenues to Success", but they find away around each obstacle. They learn from their mistakes, try again and approach obstacles from different directions until they find what works, but they do not quit.
Responsibility: Successful people are responsible.
They know their actions determine the results they get. They know they control the outcome through their behavior. If things are not working they know that they can change their behavior and move towards the desired outcome. They also know that they need others to be successful and they are quick to give credit to others as they achieve success.
Results Oriented: Successful people are results oriented.
They understand that the only thing that counts are results. They make no excuses. They know there is no such thing as trying, only doing. You get the job done or you do not.
People Oriented: Successful people are people oriented.
A common trait of successful people is that they understand their success is dependent upon how well they motivate, inspire, lead, manage, sell and communicate to others their ideas, vision, thoughts, and action.
How many of these attitudes and behaviors are you using? Honestly ask yourself if you are using all seven and, if you are not happy with the answer, put a plan in place to begin using these new behaviors.
