Why do some people succeed?

Not everyone is successful. I think we can all agree to that statement.

So why is it that some people succeed while others fail. Well we can start with all the excuses that are given, but at the end of the day successful people tend to have a lot in common. They...

• Have a plan and stick to it.
• They don't blame circumstances or others if they struggle... they blame themselves. They accept accountability and take control of their careers.
• They set goals and track them... often to a point of obsession with hitting them.
• They do not accept failure as an option.
• They use the tools that they are given to the maximum effect.
• They never stop learning and are always improving their skills.
• More..

But what makes them most interesting is that you could move them to a different industry and make them start over... and they would be successful again Now people will try to tear them down by saying things like "they are lucky" or "the boss loves them and gives them all the leads". But it is not that. It is...

• Work ethic
• Self-accountability
• Doing what they have to do every day
• Focus
• Following a plan
• Great communication
• Refusal to not be successful and the willingness to pay a price

If you are not having the success you want simply watch these people and see what they do. Study them and notice how they use the hours in the day, what they prioritize and how they interact with others. The answer to success is usually right in fornt of you... you just have to look for it and learn from it.

There is a reason they are successful and it is not luck.
