Have you defined what it is you’re looking for and what you’re going after? A lot of people go through life without ever thinking through what they want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s take the analogy of land navigation. If you’re traveling you can get lost. But if you can see where you’re headed \u2013 say a mountain 10 miles away \u2013 despite the land throwing you off you can always recenter yourself by aiming toward that point.C<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s what you want to have in your life. You want to have some goals that you’re shooting for, something that’s important to you that you’ve clearly defined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You know how to deal with hardship. You persevere.C<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n If someone throws an obstacle in your way you find a way around it. You find a way over it, under it, you knock a hole right through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not long ago I was having trouble choosing a watch, and a wise man told me:\u2018<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Same goes for your calling in life. When you can find what sings to you, what you absolutely love to do, you cannot be stopped. So find what you love \u2013 and then work hard to become an expert at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because all successful men wear watches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are a woman that does not hold true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just kidding\u2026 but there IS scientific evidence that wearing a watch gives you the edge. A 2015 British study in the journal Peer J found that if you wear a watch you are more conscientious and more likely to be on time.C<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n In my opinion, it’s not just because a watch makes it easier to check the time\u2026 it’s because a watch makes it easier to be aware of Time. The concept. The thing you only have so much of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You put in the effort. You don’t shy away from waking up at 6 o’clock in the morning on the weekends to get in that extra hour of study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, it’s a holiday and everyone else is out partying. But you stayed at home because you want to finish writing that book. You find a way to put in the effort. You deserve that success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You don’t blame others. You don’t pass the buck. You don’t ask anyone to make your decisions for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s okay to seek some advice, especially from people you trust. But taking ownership is a very powerful thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And if you’re going the wrong direction \u2013 you have the power to change it. So take ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anyone who’s started a company or taken on a worthwhile project knows you’re going to stumble and fall. But that’s all on the path to success. Next time, you’re going to be successful.T<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s the reality of life: everyone has the perfect idea AFTER the time has passed to actually execute on it. What sets apart the successful guy is that he takes action at the right time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You dive into books, online courses, audiobooks\u2026 there are so many ways to continue to learn. I hate reading, but I devour audiobooks while I’m traveling or doing chores.C<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n You set up masterminds so you can engage with your peers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So many times people get overconfident. They think, \u2018I had great success in this one business, therefore I’m an awesome business person.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n No. Maybe you had a bit of luck, maybe the timing was just perfect. There were a number of factors at play other than your awesomeness. If you’re too arrogant to see everyone who helped you up, you’re headed for a major fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you’re self-aware you realize you don’t actually know a whole lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you realize how much you don’t know, you’re constantly learning and working to become better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That guy who’s written a book and he won’t come party with you because he wants to stay home and reread it? He’s crazy about this. Are you CRAZY about what you’re doing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most of us YouTubers are compulsive checkers. We watch our videos and make sure everything is exactly right before we put it out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What I’m saying is, are you as strange as this guy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m not talking about perfection or analysis paralysis \u2013 but if you’re not that detail-oriented it’s going to be hard to climb the mountain of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So there you have it: 10 signs that you’ll be successful. Take a look at the rundown below and ask yourself if it describes you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If not \u2013 make a decision that it WILL. Make it a description of your future self\u2026 and look forward to your future success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #1 Sign You’ll Be Successful: You Know What You Want Have you defined what it is you’re looking for and what you’re going after?
