Top 15 Things Successful People Do. Which ones do you agree with or disagree with?
1. Fail
2. Set goals
3. Don't rely on luck
4. Track progress
5. Act
6. Connect the dots
7. Display realistic optimism
8. Continued improvement
9. Commit
10. Be alert

When you look at the list they do sound like simple. Executing them consistently can sometimes be a challenge. Personally there are none in the list I disagree with.
#12 is my biggest challenge and have to remember to be more clear, concise and simplify the message so everyone can understand it. Which one is your biggest challenge?
Enjoy #15 and making connections every day while connecting others together as another layer of making connections. Hence this blog "Building Circles" and the monthly networking group "WindsorEssex Circle" where my role is to make connections for others.
Any to add to the list?

Connecting business people to share stories of making new business relationships and creating opportunities.
Frank, so well said!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis should be taught to people who think they can run a business. But, they sit in their office not wanting to step "outside of the box"!
People and organizations should realize that what you have indicated is all about being complacent. And, we know where that leads to....
Frank,
ReplyDeleteGreat article. I would agree with all 15 points made. A couple additional points to consider:
- Take time to reflect: on both successes and failures and what we can learn from each
- Embrace change: think about the impact that social media (like this blog) has had on the way we do business. Certainly, many of us would not have seen this coming even 5 years ago! Frank, you are a great example of embracing social media as a way of building/improving business relationships!
Enjoy your day!

I would add 4 more:
ReplyDelete- They are grateful for what they have and what is ahead, especially for the people in their lives
- They provide recognition
-They admit mistakes
- They surround themselves with the best & brightest because they know they cannot do everything alone (they are not the best at everything - they are self-aware leaders)
