Success is something we all want to obtain in this lifetime. We all want to accomplish a goal to build the lifestyle of our dreams. When it comes to success, I believe it’s a form of habit, and you have to be persistent and consistent to succeed. I personally have seen a lot of success in my life by just showing up every day. BUT with that being said, I feel like I have so much more I have to do to find the success I truly want. I appreciate where I’m at, but I’m looking forward to where I’m going. 

If you want to be successful, there are habits that you need to start implementing every day to see results. Success takes time, and you will soon learn if you are the type of person who will push to the finish line or give up right before seeing your results. Please don’t be that person who gives up. Trust me, and you can do it. If things were easy, everyone would be doing it. Here are 10 habits of successful people. 

10 habits of successful people

#1. They Set goals – Anyone who wants to be successful with anything sets goals. Goal setting keeps you on the right path to achieve whatever you want. If you don’t have goals in place, you don’t have direction. How could you possibly succeed in anything without direction? Make sure you write down your goals to move closer to success. 

#2. They Take Responsibility–  Successful people take responsibility for their own actions. They don’t go around pointing fingers or blaming others. To be successful, you need to become a problem solver. Switch your mindset from “Why did this happen to me?” to “How can I turn this situation around and make it work?”. Taking responsibility will always put you in a position to succeed in any circumstance.

#3.They have Self Discipline – Another attribute successful people have is self-discipline, which I believe is the hardest thing to do as an entrepreneur. Every day you wake up, you have to be disciplined. From waking up every day at 7 am to making sure you get your 8 hours of rest by skipping a night out with friends. It all comes down to choices and what you want to achieve in your life. I’m not saying to not go out with friends and have a good time. I highly encourage it. Just be mindful of your time and who you spend it with. 

#4. They are Obsessed With Self Development – Personally, I love finding ways to better myself, from saying daily affirmations, working out, reading, or even learning from others. Anything I can do to better myself, I’m all in. Doesn’t it feel good to learn something new? We have so many resources to help us with self-development. I highly encourage you to find a way to better yourself that you can implement them daily, even if it’s small. Just start!

#5. They Read. A LOT! – Before I was an entrepreneur, I didn’t read too much unless I had too. I soon found out that I’m going to have to educate myself in order to make it. So I started to pick up a lot of self-development books. I love when a read something and have those light bulb moments. Also, learning new ways of life that you didn’t know before. Which makes you want to read even more. Here are a few books I recommend to get you started – 

#6. They Manage Their Time Well – Time management skills have to be on point; it takes time to master this skill – if you want to dive a little deeper, read my post on 7 Secrets to Mastering Time Management. Learning how to manage your time all comes down to having a game plan. If you know what you need to accomplish and when you need to accomplish it, you can create a schedule to work effectively and productively. Have you ever had days when you felt like you did so many tasks but didn’t accomplish a damn thing? It’s because you aren’t managing your time correctly. Time management is KEY!

#7. They Take Risks – Being a risk-taker can be scary, but it’s one of the only ways to succeed. Sometimes you have to build up the courage to take that leap and dive into those goals. It’s a scary feeling, and there is a chance that you might fail. BUT how would you know if you don’t take the risk and try? How would you know what’s at the end of the tunnel if you don’t go down the path to explore it? Only risk-takers succeed!

#8. They Keep Going When They Suffer Failure & Setbacks – Successful people don’t let failure get the best of them. They persevere and strive for better. If something doesn’t go the way they envisioned, they take a step back, reevaluate and move forward. There will always be setbacks, but sometimes it leads to the biggest comebacks. Never give up!

#9. They Find A Way To Win – “WIN, WIN, WIN, WIN, WIN F*ck everything else, WIN, WIN, WIN, WIN” I love that song!! BUT – what I’m trying to say is, where there is a will, there is a way. If you want to be successful, you have to have a winner mindset. Always be ready to compete to get to the top; there will always be competition, never fear them. If someone is doing the same thing you want to do or is already doing what you want to do, Who cares! Do that sh*t anyway, and you might be better and come out on top. You’re a winner, baby!

#10. They Do What They Love – In conclusion, successful people do what they love; they live and breathe their passion, and no one can take that away. When you’re doing what you love, everything falls into place just the way it’s supposed to.
