Success is something that we all desire however, then we ahoulx be prepared to do the things it takes to succeed. It doesm't come easy and it takes a lot of hard work.
Jim Ron said, "Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do. Don't wish it was easier; wish you were better."
10 traits that define entrepreneurial success
1. Belief
A popular quote by Steve Jobs is, "The one who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones that do."
The first step to becoming successful in life is to believe that you can. Believe in your abilitiez and your potentials. You need to believe that the goals, dreams, and visions that you have for yourself is an impossible for you to achieve no matter how big it may seem. And also, you need to believe in your ability to get what you have set your mind to achieve even if the circumstances around you are sayimg something entirely different.
For instance, that you are from a poor background doesn't mean that you can't become one of the top most influential people on the world, or your country, or your locality depending on how big you're willing to think.
C. JoyBell C. said, "The inly person who can pull me down is myself and i'm not going to let myself pull me down anymore."
The thing about believing in yourself is that your heart and mind are fully convinced that ypu can do it. Nothing can stop you. You can soar to any height and be everything you've ever wanted.
2. Plan
When you're done setting your goals and vision including what you intend to achieve on your life, you need to make plans to help you achieve them. According to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, a goal without plan is just wish.
Planning means knowing the exact steps you intend to take ti achieve your dreams.
Look at this way. Say that you're visitng a tourist attraction for the very first time, you need to go with a map or a tour guide to point out the best locations to visit and how to get there fast so that ypu can maximize your visit. Imagine a situation where you have none of both. The trip will end up being tiring than fun because you must have spent half of the time trying to figure out what direction to go which exact spots to visit.
When you make plans to help you achieve your goals, it guodes you and helps you measure your progress rate per time. Also, if there's a need to strategizing, you'll be able to that.
Alan Lakein, a well-known author of personal time management once said, "Planning os bringing the future into the present so that yoi can do something about it now."
3. Commitment
Jim Ron, an American entrepreneur, author, and motivational speaker said, "Motivation is what gets you started, commitment is what keeps you going."
Commitment is the little choices would make every day at least the final result we want. To be successful, you need to be committed to it. Start by doing something every day that gets you closer to your dream.
According to Kenny Bland Chart, there's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when it's convenient. When you're committed to doing something, you accept no excuses only results.
4. Seek knowledge
Personal growth is instrumental to success. If you want to be successful, you have to be ready to seek knowledge continously not results.
Here's the thing, the journey of life and success isn't a spontaneous one, it takes time. However, being proactive about it can help hasten things up and help you achieve your goals. But to be proactive, one has to keep learning and researching new stuff.
5. Discipline
Discipline means having self-control in thought and action of a base desire like immediate satisfaction.
Elbert Hubbard said, "Self-discipline is the ability to make yourself do what you should do when you should do it. Whether you feel like it or not."
When you are disciplined you won't make up excuses for poor or inadequate execution of the plans you made to achieve success.
6. Take calculated risk
Jim Ron said, "If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you'll have to settle for the ordinary." With no risk comes no reward, which is why those have learned how to take calculated risks are mostly successful.
7. Perseverance
Life is a both a combination of good times and bad times. So, like everything else, success in life requires perseverance because there will be always rough roads and obstacles to overcome.
Yes, it will be tempting to give up and toss it all especially when you don't feel motivated as when you began the success journey. But, with perseverance, anyone can beat any challenge and become successful eventually.
8. Hard work
A goal and a plan are useless if you do not intend to work for it. You may not know exactly how you intend to achieve your goal but you are ready to put in the hard work necessary for success, you will become successful.
9. Creativity
Creative people can come up with innovative ideas or solutions to help others solve their problems. Although, being crwativd is an all that one needs for success, but your creativity can set you apart from the competition and guarantee your survival and success in life.
10. Surround yourself with positive people
You need the right set of people to be around you, if you want to be successful. When you surround yourself woth positive people, they'll be there to motivate you and encourage you when things become tough and you feel like giving up.
Having positive people around you will make your dreams big always. Gerard Philip said, "Surround yourself with people that want more out of life, that won't settle for average, people that you can connect with on a deeper level. Keep your circle fresh, keep your circle full of quality rather than quantity, full of cool humans, that you can be yourself around, people that fill you up nothing but love, people that want you to succeed, people that get it good, circle the good life."
