9 Things Incredibly Successful People Do
by Kevin Daum
Some people just seem to find success easier than others. Maybe because they regularly do these 9 things that others don’t.
Everyone wants to be successful, whatever that means for the individual. But so many people struggle with getting there. Often, it’s because they don’t have a clear definition of what success really is. In my journey, I have spent time with entrepreneurs, executives, and billionaires. While they are certainly as diverse in personality as are their versions of success, I have noticed similar attributes. Here are nine you may want to incorporate into your practice.
- They Focus
So many people try to do too many things. Incredibly successful people have learned they need to focus on doing one or two things really well. Then they can leverage those skills to build something great. They can easily team up with others who have complimentary skills.
- They Plan
There are many arguments in the entrepreneurial community about the merits of business plans. The mistake in thinking by those opposed to the idea is that a business plan is a hard and fast schematic for the business. The most successful people always have a plan as a preliminary structure from which they can deviate. The benefit comes not from the plan but rather from the process of planning.
