  1. I tried to measure up to the listed protocols for success and I was found wanting. I have a long way to go to embrace the mindset of the ultra successful. You have really offered some really sobering insights

  2. Or just rich and have parents who can buy their way into success. LOL. That’s the nice shortcut, ha.

  3. Seeking out small victories is something I’m learning to work on, but it doesn’t come naturally for me. I’ a big picture type of person, so I tend to only give myself credit when the entire goal is accomplished or only after the final project is done. I know that there are so many small steps that go into accomplishing anything, and I need to give myself credit for those small wins too!

  4. I totally agree with the post that successful people have these qualities. Thanks for sharing.
