The 5 Mindsets of Successful People

Over the past couple of years I've had the

opportunity to work with many different people.

The question that is often talked about is what

makes the difference between the people who "get

what they want" and everyone else? It all comes

down to mindset and perspective.

Here are five perspectives that these people have

in common.

1. Successful people have a purpose.

When you look at great achievements and the people

who worked on them, there is a common theme. Every

great achievement came from the person having a purpose.

This purpose was greater than just themselves or

their personal gain. Of course achievers understand that

they themselves will benefit from the achievement but this

ego driven desire is not enough.

Successful people do what they do because of a need to

see these achievements come to the world and impact us all.

2.Successful people use their time to its fullest.

Using all your available time to forge ahead is

common with those who achieve greatness. Success

is sprung from an unrelenting desire to see a

vision become reality.

The cause that drives them is energizing not tiresome.

To these people it is a passion, not an obligation.

3.Successful people understand the role of failure.

With any new venture comes new learning.

As human beings we learn best through trial and

error. This failure is what holds most people back

from beginning.

The successful understand that they will first have

to stretch themselves to new learning before realizing the goal.

The more comfortable you can become with this idea, the

faster the goal is realized.

4.Successful people seek out obstacles.

To achieve you must understand that there will always be

obstacles along the path. You will not be able to

see all of them when you begin but they will

inevitably be there.

The successful understand this and trust that when the

time comes and the obstacle comes up they will be prepared to

overcome. They seek out the obstacles instead of

trying to avoid them.

5.Successful people look for the outcome.

Beginning any new challenge is difficult. The

successful understand this and accept that during

the journey they will experience discomfort and

even pain.

This is why they will always look to the outcomes of the

work they are doing, and not what they are feeling. Successful

people know that when they are in deep and willing themselves

through a difficult time they will experience discomfort. They

have a perspective that discomfort and learning go hand in hand.

During your day-to-day reflect on these five

perspectives and ask yourself if you were to adopt

these perspectives would you be in the same place

you are now?

How can you change your habits to adopt a more focused and

successful mindset? All change begins with a purpose. What

will you strive to become? What will be your purpose?
