What makes successful people successful

You don’t need anyone to tell you that you are good at what you do. Let yourself be guided by your own self-belief. Successful people are confident about their own worth, which allows them to focus mainly on other people and how to help them. For these people life is not all about themselves.

Not a question of luck

Don't just hope for good luck; instead, rely on effort and hard work. Go and make things happen. Stop endlessly waiting for the right time to come. The person who is in charge of your success is in fact you yourself. You are the creator of your own luck.

Don't dwell on the pain

Don’t become frustrated with the whole world. Accept that you need to try much harder and experience some pain to make your dream come true. Don’t try to numb your pain and don't try to forget about your failures: on the contrary, remember them to ensure that you learn something from them.

Limit contact with negative people

Don’t spend time with friends who lack ambition. Don’t go out drinking  with people who don't think very much about anything. Avoid defeatists like the plague.

You should only socialise with such people once they are committed to improving their life and asking you for help. But never let negative-minded people tell you how things are supposed to be. Decide for yourself, says an article on the addicted2success.com website.

Stop wasting time

Procrastination is really bad for success. Keep faith in what you can achieve and start working towards your goal immediately. Every moment of your life is precious, so don’t waste a second of it. After all, one day, when you look back, you would like to be proud of how you spent your time, would you not?

Stop consuming, start creating

Don’t just spend all day watching videos on YouTube. Be active and start creating something of your own instead. To become more successful, spend more than half of your time creating something and only in the time that remains allow yourself to be a consumer.
