10 Signs You Have Got What It Takes To Succeed by jamesacademy: 10:35am On Jan 09, 2015
Everyone in this life wants to be rich, famous, influential and respected. But you can't achieve all these if you don't have some certain characteristics or habits. Even if you have not achieved success but you do have these habits, success will come as long as you don't lose your persistence. Here are the ten signs that you have got what it takes to succeed.

You have a penchant for knowledge: If you are someone that loves learning a lot whether by reading books,listening to audio books, videos or whatever it is that improves your knowledge, then you are on your way to success. In this modern world, this vital productive habit is on the decrease. More people are after entertainment and fun stuff, they don't want to go through the rigours of learning. without knowledge, you cannot lead because readers are leaders.

You love planning: If you are someone that always loves to keep a pen and a biro and you use these tools to write out goals, plans on how to get to your goals, to-do lists and the likes, you are on your way to success. As that evergreen saying goes "Those who fail to plan, plan to fail". Planning gives you direction. It makes you to know where you are as an individual and where you are heading to. It is a super vital habit for a productive person.

You know how to manage your time: You should your priorities and you make time for them. You know what you should be doing and you avoid what you shouldn’t be doing. You've developed habits that make your life more efficient and productive. If you can’t manage your time, you can’t manage anything.

You have friends who are successful: A lot about your success in this life has to do with how strong your network is. And if you've got a network of successful friends then it's likely your own success will come soon.

You have confidence: Confidence is something that is admired by everyone. confidence shows that you have faith in your potential and in your ability to succeed. People need confident people around them, organisations need confident people working for them. Confidence makes people to follow you and believe in your dream.

People love being around you: When you observe that people love being around you, you are on your way to success if you can plan, work hard and believe in yourself. For people to be constantly around you, it means that they find you entertaining, confident, positive and intelligent. You can use that people's power to your advantage.

You are patient and persistent: If you are someone that is able to exercise patience and constantly persist in the face of adversity, then you are on your way to success. Most people nowadays are fast-lane kind of people, they want things to happen by magic. But successful people know that real success takes patience and persistence.

You are naturally motivated: If you are someone who is always in high spirits. If you are someone that is passionate and wants to achieve great and big things, there is every tendency that you will and that is success. Success is when you are able to achieve your defined target and affect lives positively.

You are improving everyday: If you are someone that makes conscious effort to improve everyday in your given field, as time goes on you will differentiate yourself from lazy and complacent individuals in your field increasing your chances to succeed. You have to improve everyday to have success in this life.

You have self-discipline and control: You need to be able to exercise discipline to do what you are supposed to do and avoid that which is detrimental to your progress. You also require self-control to avoid things that are adverse to your health, relationships and your life.

You are an early bird: Really successful people wake up early and use the advantage of the early hours to do a lot of stuff. Lazy people struggle to get out of bed and love to sleep a lot. Discipline yourself to wake up early and use those hours productively.
