Cassius Clay knocking out Sonny Liston (former heavy weight champion) |
Have you ever wondered what the
difference between successful and unsuccessful people is? I’m sure you’ve seen
the comparisons made lots of times in the past and truth is, many avoid the
subject simply because it hits a raw nerve. You see, the majority of us want to
be successful in life and crave the opportunity to set ourselves up
financially. But less than 5% per cent of people actually achieve it.
So what’s the difference? What is it
that pushes someone past the point of mediocrity and into an elite group of
people who can live life as they dreamed.
Let this post be a wake up call and highlighting some of the differences between the “haves”
and “have nots.”Here are the differences:
1. Unsuccessful people are obsessed
with ideas but never implement them. In other words, they are gripped by what
is known as analysis paralysis. On the other hand, successful people are
obsessed with implementation.
They don’t re-invent the wheel but instead
watch successful people and copy them.
2. Unsuccessful people obsess about
positive thinking but fail to match it with positive action.
Successful people take action to
compliment their positiveness. There’s an old saying which says…”As you move,
shuffle your feet!”
3. Unsuccessful people wait for the
right time but it never comes. They want things to be perfect before they act.
Successful people take action when
the opportunity appears. There is no perfect time other than the present and
they know it!
4. Unsuccessful people wait for luck
to send them on their way to success and financial freedom.
Successful people make their own
luck and create their own circumstances in life.
5. Unsuccessful people are afraid to
step up the plate. In other words, they don’t want to look silly in front of
their friends and family.
Successful people take risks and
aren’t worried about whether they are going to look stupid in front of the
people they know.
6. Unsuccessful people are easily influenced
by family and friends. If they are thinking about poking their head above the
crowd all it takes is one cutting comment from a family member and they go to
water.
Successful people push on no matter
what. They surround themselves with successful people and take advice from
those who are already successful. They live and die by their own convictions.
7. Unsuccessful people will always
believe what they’re told especially negative talk/news.
Successful people will do their due
diligence and conduct their own research, because they understand that public
opinion does not necessarily reflect truth.
