7 Things Successful People Are Doing That You’re Not

Success comes in many shapes, sizes, and form. When it comes to entrepreneurship or running a business, you’ll often see the ultra successful soar past all of their peers with relative easy and in a relatively short amount of time. One can’t help but wonder what exactly do these individuals possess that others don’t that allowed them to be so successful. Although it’s not fair to generalize their success into a few bullet points, these ultra successful entrepreneurs all inherently have 10 things in common that the rest of us don’t.

Know What They Want

Successful people know exactly what they want. They can tell you in vivid details the life they imagine for themselves and how they will get there. They rarely question their own ability or their own path. If anything, they’re more likely to tread the unknown in pursuit of what they want.

Inherent Self Confidence

You know confidence when you’re around it. And you also can smell arrogance and insecurities from a mile away. Successful people don’t need to be arrogant. They never flaunt or brag about things they have to make others believe they’re more successful than they really are. Being around them, you get a sense of their stability and security that’s inherent in every action and word that comes from them.

Decisiveness

They’re decisive individuals. In addition to knowing what they want, they also know how to get what they want, and they’re certain they will get there. They don’t procrastinate making decisions. When enough facts and evidence presents itself, they’ll make a decision to keep the ball moving instead of sitting around waiting for stars to align

High Level Of Certainty

They possess an intoxicating level of certainty. Whatever it is they’re doing, they’re certain it’s the right one. Whatever they’re ordering at a restaurant, they’re CERTAIN it’s the best damn thing on the menu. No matter what the decision is, they’re always certain of it and confident that they will get what they want. You’ll rarely hear these individuals utter “I think that’s a good idea.” Instead, they’re likely to command, “That’s a good idea. I like it!”

Planning Everything

Although they’re quick to make decisions, they’re not reckless. Highly successful individuals plan out everything meticulously in order to guarantee their results. But don’t confuse them with someone who plans everything, overthinks every situation, and never takes action. They’re meticulous in terms of how thorough their plans are, and how far down the thought-branch they go. But they certainly don’t overthink or over-complicates their plan.

Completing Everything

They’re not perfectionist. They’re completionist. Whatever they start, they plan to finish. And their ability to see things through create opportunities that otherwise wouldn’t exist. Their ability to complete everything they start stems from their ability to control their enthusiasm. It’s easy to start things when you’re excited and can see the future clearly. It’s much more difficult to maintain the same level of excitement once the endorphins are gone. For the ultra successful, they don’t need the excitement to fuel their productivity.

Positive Mental Attitude

They’re incredibly positive individuals who can always see an opportunity in any situation. They’re not oblivious or blinded to obstacles or things that go wrong in their business. But more so, they have an ability to see past the negative and salvage something positive from it. This trait makes them difficult to discouraged and resilient to setbacks.
