Three things Nearly All Successful People Share in Common.

December 4, 2006

If you're not where you want to be in some aspect of your life, what can you do to fix it? Unfortunately, the majority of people simply complain, or silently wish their situation was different. Successful people take action and the action they take is usually based on a path of proven success.

Let's take money for example. Most people want more of it. But what do they do about it? Most do nothing. They stay in their same jobs. They don't learn anything new. They waste their time watching TV or doing other things that do not help them reach their goals and dreams.

What's the number one thing you can do to remedy your problems? You can take action. Yes, it's really that simple. However, doing it and saying it are two very different things. It takes a good deal of energy and effort to make a change. It also involves risks that some people aren't willing to take, even if it means accomplishing something that they dream about. It takes determination too because success is rarely achieved on the first attempt at anything. Taking action is the only way to achieve anything.

Once you decide it's time to take action, how do you know what to do? The best way is to find someone to follow who has achieved what you're tying to achieve. In other words, seek out advice or mentorship from someone who has reached a demonstrated level of success in the area you are trying to improve upon. This is a very important point that is often overlooked or forgotten. It's too easy to do your own thing and take a hit or miss approach. This causes you to reinventing the wheel and will take you much, much longer to make a difference in your life. Want to make money? Then seek out advice and guidance from someone who has actually made a lot of money. Want to be a better singer or golfer? Then get advice and training from someone who has excelled in those areas. Follow their path and you'll reach your goals much sooner and with fewer bruises.

The third thing that most successful people have in common is that they don't give up. They learn from their failures and try again and again and again, until they succeed.

Successful people don't let fear of failure paralyze them into not taking action. They seek out good advice, mentorship, or guidance, and they Take Action.

To recap, Three things Nearly All Successful People Share in Common are:
1) Take Action.
2) Follow a proven plan or a successful person's actions.
3) Never, ever give up.
4) Don't let fear deter you from your dreams and goals.

OK, that's 4 items - #3 and #4 sort of go together, but I listed them as two items.
