9 Ways To Know You’re Going To Be Exceptionally Successful by kelxon(m): 12:51pm On May 16, 2019
It isn’t so difficult to be successful. However, it is difficult to be extraordinarily successful.

However, we all would like to make remarkable progress

Sadly, there is no short cut. There is no one-size-fits-all prescription. In any case, there are sure characteristics that successful people share…especially the individuals who have a noteworthy effect on the lives of other individuals all the while.

See how many apply to you, Number 7 will surprise you:


1. You find happiness in the success of others.
Great business teams win because the members are willing to sacrifice for others to be happy. Great teams are made up of employees who help each other, know their roles, set aside personal goals, and value team success over everything else.

Where does that attitude come from?

You.

Every successful person answers the question, “Can you make the choice that your happiness will come from the success of others?” with a resounding “Yes!”

2. You relentlessly seek new experiences.
Novelty seeking–getting bored easily and throwing yourself into new pursuits or activities–is often linked to gambling, drug abuse, attention deficit disorder, and leaping out of perfectly good airplanes without a parachute.

But according to Dr. Robert Cloninger, “Novelty seeking is one of the traits that keeps you healthy and happy and fosters personality growth as you age…. If you combine adventurousness and curiosity with persistence and a sense that it’s not all about you, then you get the creativity that benefits society as a whole.”

As Cloninger says, “To succeed, you want to be able to regulate your impulses while also having the imagination to see what the future would be like if you tried something new.”

Sounds like every successful person I know.

So go ahead. Embrace your inner novelty seeker. You’ll be healthier, you’ll have more friends, and you’ll be generally more satisfied with life.

3. You don’t think work/life balance, you just think life.
Symbolic work/life boundaries are almost impossible to maintain. Why? You are your business. Your business is your life, just like your life is your business–which is also true for family, friends, and interests–so there is no separation because all those things make you who you are.

Incredibly successful people find ways to include family instead of ways to exclude work. They find ways to include interests, hobbies, passions, and personal values in their daily business lives.

If you can’t, you’re not living–you’re just working.
