What are some uncommon habits that contribute to
success?
Lukas Schwekendiek, Studying
Fortune 500 CEOs on what they did to become successful
1. Sacrificing important things. In the end, we
all only have 24 hours in a day. To reach success you have to sacrifice
spending time on important things to be able to have more time to spend on the
things that really matter. Check every week what you can give
up to gain something better.
2. Believing what you want instead of what
others tell you. Most beliefs people hold are not based on fact and are
not true whatsoever. Get into the habit of believing that which empowers you
and makes you feel amazing instead of the things that others tell you to
believe. If it is not certain what is real, believe the thing that makes you
feel better.
3. Getting motivated. Motivation is an emotion that
doesn’t last, but that is of enormous help. Find things that motivate you every
day.
4. Thinking less. Thought usually hinders us in our
actions. When we think about things to do we tend to think about ways it can go
wrong or reasons why we shouldn’t do something. Stop thinking and start doing.
5. Going to bed early. To be at the top of your game you
need enough sleep. Yes, successful people get up somewhere between 4 and 6 in
the morning, but they can only do that because they go to bed between 9 and 11
in the evening.
6. Keeping track of your progress. Even though you
may believe that you know, unless you can actually see the
evidence in front of you, you will never know for sure. Know exactly how you
spend your time and how you are doing in your habits. If you are really
motivated: Graph it!
7. Having a clean space. Keep your apartment, room, and/or
house clean. Leave as little clutter as you can, and always take care of the
mess right away. Anything that aids your motivation and makes you feel great is
worth doing.
8. Speaking only positively about your future. Say things as
if they already happened, or as if there is no way they will not happen. If you
believe it is a fact that you will get an amazing life, you will act
accordingly and receive it.
9. Gratitude. Thank as many things and people
as you can. Most successful people come from a place where they had absolutely
nothing, which is why they are grateful about every little thing that they
have. This makes even the most simple things special and amazing.
10. Doing it all. Whenever you see tips online, or
hear about some great strategies, do them all. You can never have enough of a
good thing when it comes to reaching success.
11. Never giving up on what matters. If you want
something, find a way to get it. Not because you necessarily want that thing
that bad, but instead because you absolutely have to prove to
yourself that you can get whatever you set your mind to.
12. Doing what you said you would no matter what. Success comes
from not giving up halfway through. Everyone is on the way to be successful in
what they do, but only 1% of all people actually see it through. Do what you
said you would. No matter what.
13. Spending more money on yourself. Not on beauty
products, clothes or video games, but instead on gathering information, finding
connections and learning more through books. Spend money on the only thing that
lasts: Yourself.
14. Stop caring. Not only about the people around
you, but also about whether or not you will accomplish your goal. The less you
care about it, the less stress you will experience when you work, which will
make your work more fun and you will get to success much faster than you
thought you could. Stop chasing it and you will get it.
