I completely agree that successful people carry most of these qualities! I'm hoping to work on some of these attributes myself.
Hi Cecilia, thanks for reading.
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
Thanks for your feedback Ingrid!

Or just rich and have parents who can buy their way into success. LOL. That's the nice shortcut, ha.
I like working to success, shortcuts are easy but in most cases short lived.
This is article is very interesting and fascinating. Although, I high agree that successful people are fearless.
Thanks Criselle for reading.
A great list of habits to have. Being fearless is a habit that I really wish I had that was stronger.
Thanks.
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!
Hi, I totally agree with you, celebrating for small wins is a great way of making an appreciation and preparing for even bigger wins!
These are great reminders! Thanks so much for sharing.
Welcome.
