7 Powerful Habits of the Most
Successful People
These seven powerful habits define some of the
most successful people in the world.
There are lots of ways to foster
success, but as a leadership coach and business
consultant I have found that a few daily actions are
especially effective at moving people toward success. I have
seen how well they work with countless clients at every level--and they can
unleash your greatness as well.
Start doing these 7 powerful habits today.
1. Embrace your confidence.
Within
each of us is an imposter who exists to plant messages of negativity and
self-doubt and to stand in the way of what we want to achieve. But successful
people know that if you want to do something great in the world, you're going to need
confidence. Make sure your confidence is loud
enough to drown out the voice of the imposter.
2. Encompass your intuition.
When people want to start a new
venture or create a new product, they generally rely on their analytic mind.
But the most successful people get fueled by their intuition when they want to
be innovative or creative. Try leaving your analytic mind behind and venture
out with your intuitive mind. As Einstein said, "The intuitive mind is a
sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a
society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift."
3. Speak with honesty.
When business gets tough, when
leadership gets complicated, it's more important than ever to always speak the
truth. If you have bad news, say so. If you have complicated information,
express it. The truth might hurt for a while but a lie will hurt forever. Court
the best kind of success by speaking your truth in every circumstance.
4. Embody your courage.
Success requires risk. It means
you have to take chances, and that in turn means you have to be courageous.
Each time you face your fears, you gain strength and courage. And each time you
show up braver you become even more successful. The most successful people know
that courage is not the absence of fear but knowing that you're working toward
something more important than the fear.
5. Manifest your integrity
Especially when things get busy,
the impulse to rush and cut corners is understandable. You want to get things
done and keep things moving. But the most successful people never allow that to
become the priority. They manifest integrity in everything they do, no matter
what. They know that success isn't built on faster, cheaper and shinier but on
excellence.
6. Demonstrate your trust.
Trust is the foundational
ingredient in any kind of success. Successful people know that every
relationship--team, partnerships, even family relationships and
friendships--depends on trust. That's why they work constantly to build and
earn trust by making sure their words and actions are consistent.
7. Show your loyalty.
The essence of loyalty is
consistency. It's saying to those around you, "As I grow more successful I
will continue to look after your best interests and I will serve you with the
best of what I have to offer." More than anything else, loyalty is the
characteristic that makes some people stand out from the rest. It's a rare
commodity, especially in business, so once you find it do everything you can to
keep it--and stay far from those who don't know understand its value.
