Things Successful People Do Differently

I’ve always been fascinated by people who are consistently successful at what they do; especially those who experience repeated success in many areas of their life throughout their lifetime.  In entertainment, I think of Clint Eastwood and Oprah Winfrey.  In business, I think of Steve Jobs and Warren Buffett.  We all have our own examples of super successful people like these who we admire.  But how do they do it?

Over the years I’ve studied the lives of numerous successful people.  I’ve read their books, watched their interviews, researched them online, etc.  And I’ve learned that most of them were not born into success; they simply did, and continue to do, things that help them realize their full potential.  Here are seven things they do differently that the rest of us can easily emulate.

1.  They create and pursue S.M.A.R.T. goals.

2.  They take decisive and immediate action.

3.  They focus on being productive, not being busy.

4.  They make logical, informed decisions.

5.  They avoid the trap of trying to make things perfect.

6.  They work outside of their comfort zone.

7.  They keep things simple.
