tips for Successful
people
Successful People:
1. Wake up early – productivity peaks in the morning.
2. Treat failure like gold – profit from their mistakes, learn from them and assess how/why they failed.
3. Ignore conformity – live outside the box. Don’t be quick to copy; be innovative!
4. Read every day – Reading and success go together, like a mental treadmill. It improves memory
and knowledge and enhances ones vocabulary. Choose good books which enhance you and
allow you to learn new subjects.
5. Spending – shift focus to potential profit. Invest in your success; delayed gratification and reward
bring bigger gains.
6. Make sacrifices – Make good lifestyle choices and squeeze your dreams in. Build good
relationships.
7. Creative writing – Put your life on paper to help reaffirm and guide you on the right path.
Creativity is as important as motivation.
8. Mild procrastination – Passive vs active or strategic procrastination. Prioritize most important
projects.
9. Self-improvement – Seek different ways to achieve this. Make a habit of bettering themself.
Learn new techniques, as learning never stops.
10. Networking – this involves knowing people; not just talking or making friends. It is about making
lasting relationships with people who you come in contact with. Practice these skills as much as
you can.
11. Exercise consistently – this will give you physical energy to do what you need to (have
confidence, decisiveness and self-discipline.)
12. Daily meditation – 20 minutes a day helps to mitigate stress. Decide on the form of meditation,
assume a comfortable pose – focus on each breath. Focus on goals for example and bring your
mind back.
