Success isn’t all about luck. It’s about focus, determination, optimism and hard work. Changing your mindset and behaviors can be tricky at first, but in the end it's worth the extra effort.

 Experience success by following these 7 behaviors.

 

We're offering seven specific behaviors practiced by successful people daily.


1. Make things happen.


Those who achieve real success understand that waiting around for their dreams to come true only wastes their time and potential. Successful people would rather discover new ways to overcome their challenges instead of complaining about undesirable circumstances. They will throw excuses out the window and set out to make things happen the way they want them to happen.


2. Focus on the journey, not the destination.


The journey to success is paved with valuable life lessons, triumph and inevitable failure -- which can be learned from if you have the right attitude. Successful people will stop to smell the roses now and then, enjoying the journey to success while keeping track of time.  This makes for a much more satisfying journey.

 

3. Challenge the status-quo.


Every day, startups are challenging norms by doing the unthinkable.  You name it, and it’s out there. This doesn’t mean that everything’s already been done -- more than 627,000 American businesses open each year. It's your job to stand apart from the rest.  “Business as usual” isn’t going to change the world. There’s a reason why people like Elon Musk and Bill Gates are wildly successful, and that reason is an affinity for innovation.


4. Keep learning.


Success comes to a screeching halt once someone thinks they're finished learning. No matter how much you think you know, someone out there always knows something you don’t -- and those who have experienced success like it that way.  The constant pursuit of knowledge is enjoyed by hose who are serious about achieving success and they never settle with the knowledge they already have.  As basketball legend John Wooden once put it, “It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts.”


5. Don't focus on the impossible.


When was the last time moaning and groaning got anyone anywhere? Successful people don’t dwell on the challenges they encounter as they work toward their goals. Instead, they emphasize on what's still possible and maintain a “sky’s the limit” mentality. With each roadblock they encounter they will reroute with their goals to the forefront of their minds.

The same people also understand that reformulating the question “How can I accomplish this?” can lead to a fresh perspective and open new doors. Obstacles are only as tough as you make them out to be.


6. Surround yourself with smart and accomplished people.


“If you want to be wealthy, hang out with wealthy people. If you want to be funny, hang out with funny people. And if you want to be poor, hang out with poor people.”  

 

Those you spend your time with gradually shape your behaviors and your mindset.  Successful people build a comfortable network of positive, intelligent and accomplished individuals. This type of network not only eases them into success-building thought patterns and behaviors, but also offers them a place to brainstorm and receive support.


7. Never give up.


The most impressive successes are those that are hardest to reach. Successful people are capable of viewing each stumble and fall as only a temporary setback. Failures are viewed as an opportunity to learn and start anew. In fact, many successful people are opportunists who appreciate failures. To team, failures mean their efforts are legitimate and dynamic.


People who intent on achieving success understand that accomplishments only follow a laundry list of blunders and mistakes. Rather than allowing themselves to become discouraged, they set out to finish what they started with passion and determination.



So now it's your turn.


You don’t have to make an idol out of every successful person you know in order to learn from them. Pick apart the qualities that helped them succeed, then practice embodying those qualities in your day-to-day life. What behaviors have you noticed in those who have achieved success? Which ones have helped you become successful?
