What Defines Highly Successful People and How you can Join the Elite
Passion, perseverance and grit.
An unbridled determination to succeed even in the face of overwhelming odds.
An ability to break down potential obstacles and foresee challenges before the arise.
A relentless ability to focus on the things that matter, those things that will enable the most progress every single day. They possess the ability to filter out the distraction and remove the things that will slow them down from their life.
This can come across as ruthless, because it is. Successful people know what they want and the go after it. Those less focused are less willing to make the sacrifices necessary to succeed.
That is the brutal reality.
People like to make excuses when something goes wrong or they don’t achieve their goals. They make the argument they were bullied or extenuating circumstances impeded their pursuit.
The truth is somebody else just wanted it more than you.
Whether that is a parking space in a car park, the last piece of candy in a bag or a million dollar contract; life is about competition.
If you’re not ready for the fight you’re going to get knocked out.
