Top Habits of Successful People
How many of these habits do you already have?
If you’ve ever known anyone ultra-successful, you know that they can appear to be a different breed. We’re not talking about someone that’s a straight-A student and goes on to make $250,000 per year. We’re talking about people that win gold medals, become billionaires, or impact the entire world in some way.
In an ever-evolving digital era, the successful people of our generation all have some very significant characteristics in common. If you strive to be successful, both in the monetary sense and in happiness, consider developing these habits of successful people.
Mimic these habits of successful people and become more successful yourself:
- Wake Up Early
The old age is true – the early bird gets the worm. The vast majority of the most successful people in the world get up very early. They make great use of this time, too. They have a morning routine that often includes exercise and meditation or prayer.
TIP - Try getting up an hour earlier and have a plan for using this time effectively. Do this for 30 days and evaluate the results. - Exercise Consistently
Not only is exercise good for your health, but it can also make you more productive. If you do not include it in your morning routine, find some time later in the day. - Soak in New Information
Whether you like to read, watch documentaries, or play interactive math games, soaking in new information is crucial to your success. Without taking in new information, you’re forced to figure out a lot by yourself. A book written by a competent author is like a mentor. The world is full of experts. Why try to do it all yourself? - Practice Mindfulness
Relatively new practices to the western world, mindfulness and meditation can strengthen your focus, increase productivity, and contribute to your wellbeing.
- Follow Inspiration.
People, buildings, art - whatever your inspiration - follow it and you will find success. - Practice self-discipline.
Success requires work. High levels of success require doing work that most people aren’t willing to do. It takes self-discipline to do difficult things day after day.
TIP - Work on your self-discipline each day. You have countless opportunities to do this. If you need to lose weight, throw out 25% of your lunch each day. When you feel like taking a break, force yourself to work for another 15 minutes. - Become action oriented.
People with mediocre levels of success often like to plan, but they struggle to actually take any sort of action. Successful people take intelligent action. They are the masters of getting things done. They’re also great at getting started on new projects. - Get clear on your goals.
Ultra-successful people know exactly what they want. The average person does not. You can’t make progress toward a goal if you’re not aware of your goal.
TIP - Decide what you want. Make a list and be precise.
TIP - Set goals that truly excite you. That will encourage you to continue when the going gets tough.
- Find Multiple Revenue Streams
In this day and age, there are always ways to make some extra cash. From Uber to freelancing, successful people always find a way to put away savings. - Pursue Personal Goals
It's all well and good to help your company grow, but personal development is more important to feeling fulfilled and enjoying life.
- Take the Positive View
Negative thoughts and feelings are normal, but successful people are experts at handling the negatives and turning them into positives. - Handle Stress
One of the most important aspects about successful people is their ability to handle stress. We all have stress from various sources and dealing with that stress is crucial if you wish to find success and happiness. Learn stress-reduction techniques and use them regularly.
- Say, “No” to practically everything.
Highly successful people avoid distractions much better than the average person. Many of us say “Yes” to almost every opportunity. Successful people say “No” almost all the time.
Decline offers that don’t assist you in the pursuit of your goals. Everything you do either brings you closer to, or takes you further from, your goals. Before agreeing to something, ask yourself, “How does this impact the pursuit of my goals?”. - Persevere.
The most successful people have a tenacity that most of us fail to demonstrate. We give up far too easily.
TIP - Practice persevering when you want to quit. Learn how to grind and get things done. Perseverance is a combination of faith and pushing through discomfort. - Sleep 8 Hours
Sleep is essential to your health, mood, focus, and energy levels. Lack of sleep will limit your ability to function at a high level each day.
Your habits largely influence how successful you’ll become. Effective habits result in great results. Poor habits lead to undesirable results. One of the most effective ways to take your life to the next level is to create habits that support your goals.
The most successful people in the world have the best habits for success. Follow this simple checklist to help you find greater success and happiness. If you can tick off more than 7, you’re on your way ‒ all of them and you’ve found success.
