Nine Things Successful People Do Differently



1    Be specific when setting goals – know exactly what you want to achieve and how you will achieve it

2    Decide in advance when will you take the actions aimed towards your goal. Even better, do it as soon as an opportunity arises

3    Check your progress and know exactly how far you have left to go

4    Be a realistic optimist – believing in your ability to succeed is enormously helpful, but don’t underestimate, how difficult it will be or you’ll end up ill-prepared

5    Focus on developing abilities and acquiring new skills rather than goals

6    Have grit – a willingness to commit to long-term goals and persist in the face of difficulty. Think Naruto

7    Build your willpower muscle by doing something you’d rather not do. Later, increase your workout

8    Willpower muscle is limited – don’t try too hard or you’ll run out of steam. Don’t make reaching a goal harder than it already is.

9    If you’re trying to change a habit, replace bad habits with good ones instead of focusing your thoughts on the bad ones.
