How to Be a Successful Person

While there is no way to know precisely what makes some people successful, we can learn a lot by examining successful people. Often (not always, but often enough to matter), high achievers exhibit similar habits and behaviors. The seven habits below show up over and over again in success stories.

7 Helpful Hints on How to Be a Successful Person

If you want to be more successful in life, these behaviors are an excellent place to start.

1. Have a Plan

Successful people know what they want. More than that, they actively set goals in order to get what they want. Having goals in mind doesn’t count either. You need to write your goals down, and then break them down into an action plan. When you have an action plan, you never need to wonder what to do next. You follow the path you set toward achieving your goals.

2. Face Fear

Fear is one of the biggest roadblocks to success. Just think about things you might have missed out on because you were too nervous to take a chance. Successful people feel fear just like the rest of us, but instead of giving up they face it.

3. Learn

It is kind of a shame that school ends so early in our lives. Some people feel like that means they are done learning. This couldn’t be further from the truth. A commitment to lifelong learning will propel you towards success by keeping your mind sharp, and your skills up to date.

4. Stay Organized

There may be a handful of geniuses who are able to create and think surrounded by a mess, but for the rest of us a cluttered space is nothing more than a distraction. You will save time, energy and boost focus if you keep your space neat and tidy.

5. Keep Balance

What is the point of success if you don’t take time to enjoy it? Hard work is clearly important but remember to relish the good times along the way. Having a life balance will keep energy levels high and give you something to look forward to besides work.

6. Take Time to Think

Do you ever make time to just think? Successful people do. They know that being successful means continually thinking “what next?”. If you want to be more successful, schedule 20-30 minutes of quiet thinking time into your day.

7. Surround Yourself With Inspiring People

If you want to be successful, it helps to have successful friends. Besides the doors they may open for you, having successful friends will inspire you. You will learn what makes them tick, and it’s never a bad thing to have a likeminded social circle. Having a coach work with you on-on-one can also give you a tremendous boost.
