Have you observed that 97% of the population are aspiring for the things which only 3% of the population have got? Why is it that the majority of the people are finding it difficult to climb the ladder of success, while the successful ones are growing leaps and bounds? What are the things which make successful people different from others?

Let me decode those eight traits of successful people, in order for you to be a success in your field.

Exercise

This one activity can be the game changer for you. Exercising is considered to be sacred by the successful people. They fully acknowledge the fact that exercise keeps the mind and the body healthy, preparing it to face the day’s challenge. So make sure that a 30-minute exercise is present in your daily routine.

Reading

This is an activity which is being done by only a few people. But you can’t afford to neglect it, since those few are the ones who are successful. Reading helps you to expand your thinking, facilitates you vocabulary and mould your mindset in a positive manner. You will find a mediocre man engrossed in his TV set, but a successful person will be found spending more of his time reading books than watching TV, since it helps him to have an edge over others in his particular field.

Goal Setting

This is a term which you might have heard a thousand times. Goal setting is the most potent weapon which every successful people have in their armory. Just like the warrior uses his weapons to kill the enemy, the high achievers use their goals as a weapon to annihilate their day to day challenges and emerge as victorious.

Getting Up At 5 AM

Some people get up at 9 AM and complain that they do not get enough time to do their important stuffs, not realizing the fact that they could have done it easily had they got up early in the morning. The first thing which the successful people do differently from the herd is that they get up at five in the morning. While majority of the people are sleeping, they are working. While others are in their dreamland thinking about that Lamborghini, the high achievers are grinding their way to their dream.

Killing Procrastination

Successful people realise that procrastination is the biggest enemy of theirs. They believe in delivering, rather than delaying the work. They know that nothing can stop them, as long as they stop for nothing. Their monomaniacal obsession towards their goal doesn’t allow them to linger their efforts in bringing their very best on the table.

Discipline

The single biggest common trait which you can find in almost every successful people is discipline. It does not mean imposition, rather it means personal freedom. It will help you in preventing the problem, even before it arises. It helps to concentrate and channel your powers on the things that are important for you. Discipline teaches you to take advantages of the opportunities by squeezing it to the very last drop.

Outwork Others

If you want to be successful, then the first thing which you’ve got to get out of your dictionary is the word "competition." The high achievers have never believed in competition, but rather, they’ve always believed in complete "Domination." They demolish their competition. They work their butt off, to make sure that they are one step ahead of others.

Build Great Relations

"You become the average of the 5 people you spend most of your time around." Successful people value this statement immensely. This is the reason why you won’t find them spending time with broke people. They always try to spend time with those people who will push them to work even harder towards their dreams. So start indulging yourself in constructive conversations with those people who’ve always inspired you. You never know which person will drop that pearl of idea which can change the course of your life.
