1. They make a step to their success every day
According to INC.com, everyday work is the secret of achieving success. Sometimes people spend the whole day, sometimes just a few minutes, on the way to their goal. However, they keep on trying every single day.
2. They're engaged in what they enjoy
If you do something that you absolutely hate, you can't expect to be good or successful at it. Successful people know how to turn their passion into business.
3. They plan for the long-term
Though successful people often have clearly defined plans for every day and hour of their work, they don't lose sight of long-term perspectives. On the contrary, they set a long-term, specific goal, and then divide the path towards it into individual small steps which they work on every day.
4. They listen to others
Though they're confident about their expertise and skills, successful people are, at the same time, open to criticism and feedback from the people around them. They embrace other people's opinions and ideas and they don't take it in a negative way.
5. They think outside the box
Talented and hard-working people are too often limited by tradition and the status quo. Even though successful people are aware of tradition and previously acquired knowledge, at the same time they're able to think in a new way and not to get too limited by dogma.
6. They get out of their comfort zone
Everybody feels good with what they already know and what they're used to. Everybody has a subconscious, natural fear of new, untried things. Successful people, however, are used to getting out of their comfort zone every day, and always come up with something new.
