7 Signs of Success

After collecting data from some of the most successful people in the world, I examined some things that make them successful. I’ve always been fascinated by the mindset of successful people, their discipline, their focus, and their determination in the face of difficulties that make them different.  I found 7 Signs of Success among them.

These are not theories, these are signs. Let’s discuss 7 Signs from them.

01. Great Habits

Mostly Successful people have great habits, like getting up in the morning, meditating, reading, and exercising regularly. Unsuccessful people have lousy habits like smoking, drinking, taking drugs, watching too much TV, etc. 

The Successful people are successful today because of their habits. Habits determine 95% of a person’s behavior. Everything that you are today, everything that you will achieve in the future, is determined by the quality of the habits that you form. 

I’ve found that the best people have the best habits. I will recommend the book ‘‘The 7 Habits of highly effective people’’ by Stephen R. Covey and at the end, I also ask a question to all of you, how many of these habits do you have?

02. Confident in the Abilities

All the Successful people are confident in their abilities. The biggest enemies to success are self-doubt and fear of the unknown. Confidence is just trusting in yourself, and having faith in yourselves is just doing the things that you once didn’t, accepting that you could do. 

Believe in yourself when you’re not ready, believe in yourself when no one trusts you, believe in yourself when everyone doubts you, that you cannot do it, that you cannot make it, that you don’t have what it takes. And confidence is not the same as arrogance, arrogance is thinking that you’re above everybody else.

You should feel confident plenty in your abilities. You should feel confident enough in yourself not just in words but in action. Confidence comes from competence. 

You should put everything you have on the line for your goals and your dreams. You should not procrastinate or hesitate. Do you have confidence?

03. high EQ (emotional quotient)

They have a high EQ (emotional quotient). They focus on EQ, not IQ. They may not be the most brilliant individuals on the planet, yet they encircle themselves with shrewd individuals. They may not be the smartest understudies on the planet, yet they show a serious level of the capacity to understand people at their core.

You can understand that, with regards to progress, EQ has IQ for breakfast. Presently IQ for the most part it’s hereditary, what you’re brought into the world with.

However, EQ can be developed and learned. Successful people, have a high degree of emotional intelligence, meaning that they don’t crack under pressure. 

They stay calm. They know how to manage pressure and uneasiness, in any event, when things don’t turn out well for them.

Successful people are also very self-aware, meaning that they know about their good and bad, their strengths and weaknesses. 

They know how to manage their emotions and passions. They refuse to feel scarce, resentful, or disappointed when failure hits them.

04. Amazingly Driven

High Successful people are amazingly driven. I’m saying about you pushing yourself to get results. It’s your drive that turns your ideas into actions, into results. 

It is your drive that, keeps you going when things get tough. It is your drive that, enables you to bounce back from disappointment, from the setback.

You can see the careers of successful people, they didn’t take a single day off. They worked 10, 12, and 14 hours every single day straight. Because they were driven. They were driven to prove other people wrong. Do you put things off and how driven are you?

05. Growth Mindset

All successful people have a growth mindset. Mark Cuban reads three hours a day and Bill Gates reads at least one hour per day. 

For years now, they all still constantly learning all the time and they do not just read books, it could be listening to a podcast, talking to other successful people, or getting coaching from mentors.

The Successful people’s learning and growing never stop. I comprehend that the more you know, the more you understand you don’t have the foggiest idea. The less you know, the more you think you know.

06. Embrace Failures

Most of the Successful people embrace failures. successful people are ridiculously positive about their future and they always speak positively about their future, and where things are going, as if it’s already happened, even though there’s no way that it could happen. They have positive expectations about their future. And they believe in themselves.

Walt Disney was terminated by news editors saying that he had no creative mind and no imagination. Before getting his tremendous break, Steven Spielberg was dismissed multiple times by film school.

Colonel Sanders, at 56 years old, got dismissed multiple times for his formula before a restaurant got it.

You will notice, that the most successful people on any ground, are usually the ones who have failed more than anybody else. Winston Churchill said it best, “Success is going from failure “to failure without losing enthusiasm.” 

The most successful are those who experience rejections on a day-to-day basis more than anybody else, which makes them successful.

Success is on the blade’s edge of disaster. Do you embrace failures?

07. Most Brilliant Ideas

You might have the best ideas and most brilliant ideas in the world, but if you cannot articulate those ideas, you don’t know how to communicate those ideas to other people, you won’t go anywhere and communication skills come in many forms. 

I’m talking about writing their email, and social media posts, conducting meetings, speaking one-on-one, speaking on the phone, talking with a prospect, or even speaking to large groups of people. All those falls under communication skills.

One of the things that success full people do that change their life, early in their career is that they develop communication skill, public speaking skills. 

They absorb how to use words to persuade, and influence somebody. So all successful people, have this one thing in mutual, the ability to influence, persuade, and inspire other publics.

Conclusion

The availability of these signs in you can make you successful or the chance of being successful is very high if you earn these signs.  First of all, earn these signs and then work hard to be talented and turn your talent into success.
