In this article discover 11 simple yet extremely effective secrets mastered by successful people everywhere. This article contains a short synopsis of traits shared by successful and poor people alike. Please keep in mind that I am not judging success or poverty strictly on monetary terms but more so on quality of life as a whole.
Secret 1: Successful people become rich by serving everyone else. Poor people remain mediocre by serving their own self interests. Do you identify the problems other people often encounter and offer solutions for those problems or are you focused strictly on dealing with your own problems?
Secret 2: Successful people create the future for themselves and those that surround them. Poor people are comfortable allowing their future to be dictated by external circumstances. Do you view life as "happening to you" and believe you have little ability to change your life circumstances or do you proactively manage your life and make things happen based on what you want?
Secret 3: Successful people look to maximize how much value they can deliver from each dollar spent. Poor people look to maximize how much value they can extract from each dollar spent. Are you focused on delivering value to others or are you more concerned about what you are able to take away from each transaction with little regard for the other people involved?
Secret 4: Successful people measure the risks and weigh the rewards. Poor people avoid risk at all costs. Are you willing to consider new opportunities and operate outside of your comfort zone? Or do you prefer to avoid any new opportunities and continue to operate in a comfort zone that does not push you to expand your horizons.
Secret 5: Successful people lead by example and deliver results. Poor people talk about all the things they could have done if things were different and accomplish very little. Do you do what you say and practice what you preach, or do you talk a good game and fail to deliver?
Secret 6: Successful people find ways to distribute more power to everyone they encounter. Poor people are powerless and unable to help themselves and those around them. Do yo maximize your own value and help as many of the people that surround you as possible, or are you hung up on your own problems and unable to assist others in moving forward?
Secret 7: Successful people inherently build trust in relationships at all levels of interaction. Poor people spend the majority of their time distrusting everyone. What are your current relationships like? Do you often have conflict and moments of mistrust in your relationships, or do people inherently trust that you will do what you say and deliver on the promises you make? Are you able to trust those you deal with consistently and know you won't be taken advantage of, or are you consistently looking to protect yourself from the abuse of others?
Secret 8: Successful people consistently share their wealth and build more wealth in return. Poor people tend to hoard what they have acquired and in turn limit their ability to receive more. Are you constantly looking for ways to save what little you have or are you able to graciously share the wealth you have accumulated with those that provide value in your life?
Secret 9: Successful people are consistent, concise, and move with purpose. Poor people lack focus, direction, and tend to operate in a daze of confusion. Are your days haphazard, lacking structure, filled with chaos and inefficiency, or do you operate from a place of calm control where you dictate the outcome of where you will focus your time?
Secret 10: Successful people understand that the most important person to someone else is ultimately the other person. Poor people place themselves at the center and consider their perspective prior to anyone else. Who do you think about most often? Yourself or others?
Secret 11: Successful people understand that simple things done consistently lead to big results. Poor people don't take time to perform simple things consistently. Have you mastered discipline and structure or do you still operate without a schedule and plan?
Find ways to implement these success secrets in your life on a daily basis and I know that you will begin to experience unexpected results.
