Develop successful people’s skills #3.

Once you apply the habits of successful people in your life, you will notice the difference in your mindset and way of acting. By behaving like successful people, you are closer to being one of them.

1. Look for ways to improve what you do and keep an eye out for what is coming next.
   Instead of being scared of changes and rejecting them, love them and see their potential.

2. Take the right approach. Instead of working hard, work smart.
   Look for better tools, make more powerful connections, find better partners, and hire the highest-quality staff.

3. Create new traditions, don’t follow already established ones.
   Be interested in finding new and better ways and don’t be concerned with the way things “have always been done.”

4. Be goal-oriented.
   Pay more attention to the target than the problem.

5. Think about your work in terms of a mission, not a job.
   Treat every phone call, email, meeting, presentation, and day spent at the office like a great opportunity to achieve success, not as a job.

6. Find and create motivation by taking stimulating and exciting actions.
   Remember that real motivation is not an enthusiasm that lasts for a few hours, a day, or a week. It is something that makes you persistent in achieving your goals.

7. Be focused on results, not efforts.
   It doesn’t matter how much time you spent on an activity or at work. What matters are results.

8. To achieve big goals, first set them up.
   Do not be afraid of having huge and unrealistic dreams. Read great people's accomplishments and surround yourself with everything you can that inspires you to think and act big and reach your internal potential.
