10 Things Highly Successful People Do to Achieve Goals

Did you know that certain personality traits are more accurate predictors of success than actual intelligence? Researchers found similar patterns in the perspectives and habits of highly successful people, which could have played a major role in contributing to their achievements. – and if THEY can do it, so can YOU!

Number 1: Write it Down Success begins with a desire and a vision of what we want to accomplish. Highly successful people make lists of their goals, tasks, as well as a list of improvements. They like to review their progress, and make notes of the things that require more work.

Number 2: Start with the Most Important Tasks Mornings are the best time to focus. We tend to feel more fresh, energized, and optimistic. Highly successful people devote the first hours of their day to work on their top priority tasks. They discipline themselves to wake up early and follow a strategic morning routine.

Number 3: Follow Routines It sure sounds like fun to spend each day spontaneously. However, highly successful people prefer routines over spontaneity. By implementing simple routines into their daily lives, they save time and energy.

Number 4: Live by Schedule Highly successful people value time. They know how important it is to their own success. They follow a strict schedule, and make sure that every commitment gets done exactly on time. When planning their schedule, they also make sure that it’s realistic and doable.

Number 5: Keep Learning Highly successful people never stop learning. They try to find as many life lessons as possible in every experience they have. They also make good use of their free time with activities that broaden their knowledge - such as reading, learning about current events in the world, or attending seminars.

Number 6: Make Health a Priority Highly successful people take good care of their health by living a balanced lifestyle. This includes eating a nutritious diet, maintaining a regular physical exercise routine, and giving themselves sufficient time to relax and recharge on a regular basis.

Number 7: Cultivate Meaningful Relationships As the saying goes: “Your network is your net worth”! And highly successful people understand the importance of networking very well. These individuals like to connect with, and befriend people in their work groups and industry, as well as in their community. They also value opportunities that present themselves through their connections.

Number 8: Engage in Productive Hobbies Highly successful people choose hobbies that are productive in some way. Whether it’s painting, writing or golfing, they make sure that the time spent will be fun as well as engaging. Their hobbies not only provide entertainment, but also help develop skills that enhance proficiency and productivity.

Number 9: Invest Money The best opportunities to earn more come from investing money for profit. Highly successful people increase their income and savings by spending money in order to make more money. They know exactly when to invest for a big return; at the same time, they also know when to cut expenses.

Number 10: Learn from Failure Failure is simply a learning experience on the road to success. Highly successful people don’t repeatedly beat themselves up over the same mistakes. They simply acknowledge their mistake, plan a better course of action, and try again. Failures don’t discourage them, but rather encourage their will-power and passion to do it right the next time around. Which of these key practices are a part of YOUR daily life? And which ones are you struggling with the most? Share your thoughts and comments below!
