Simple enough. I love the easy jobs. Surely it
couldn’t be that hard, could it? I figured that maybe I could take the
important lessons from every self-help book I’ve read and every life experience
I’ve endured, condense all that into fifty key points and save everybody a
whole bunch of reading time.
Sure, global book sales in the self-help field might take a down-turn for a decade or so, but I’m willing to take that chance and put in a solid sixty minutes (or so) work for the good of humanity; my gift to mankind.

Selfless I know.
I thought that perhaps I could follow Stephen
Covey’s lead (The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People) and come up with my own list of say… Fifty
Habits (in truth, some of them are more qualities, than habits).
It couldn’t be too difficult to distill all those millions of words, tens of thousands of books and that vast well of information, inspiration, wisdom and insight which has been collated over the centuries into one teensy-weensy article by the ex-fat kid (me).
Who else could be better qualified?

Don’t answer that.
Habits of successful people…
1. They look for and find opportunities where
others see nothing.
2. They find a lesson while others only see a
problem.
3. They are solution focused.
4. They consciously and methodically create their
own success, while others hope success will find them.
5. They are fearful like everyone else, but they
are not controlled or limited by fear.
6. They ask the right questions—the ones which
put them in a productive, creative, positive mindset and emotional state.
7. They rarely complain (waste of energy). All
complaining does is put the complainer in a negative and unproductive state.
8. They don’t blame (what’s the point?). They take
complete responsibility for their actions and outcomes (or lack thereof).
9. While they are not necessarily more talented
than the majority, they always find a way to maximize their potential. They get
more out of themselves. They use what they have more effectively.
10. They are busy, productive and proactive. While
most are laying on the couch, planning, over-thinking, sitting on their hands
and generally going around in circles, they are out there getting the job done.
11. They align themselves with like-minded people. They understand the importance of being part of a team. They create win-win relationships.
