Nice Post ! I try to keep it simple and work further, but sometimes hurdles do get you and some times you tend loose the steam or focus. It happens to me sometimes, have to get my act together and get the ball rolling. Time does not stop for anyone, once gone its gone for ever ! :-) nice pointers in the post, thanks.
Hi, thanks for your comments. Welcome.
I couldn't agree more with your list. I have never understood why people aren't transparent with information. I get some of my best ideas when I verbally share my plans. Speaking them out loud helps me think through things in a different way.
True, thanks for your comments. How I wish people could realize the importance of sharing information could in fact help them achieve more.
This is a valuable list. I particularly find the accepting responsibility for mistakes to be a trait that moves someone to success. If you can't accept responsibility for making mistakes you can't learn and improve.
Hi Gillie, True, it all starts with simple steps like accepting responsibilities for small mistakes. Thanks for visiting.
I believe I have 7 of those traits!

Hi Ladycee, thanks for the feedback. Most welcomed.
I couldn't agree more! I try to teach my children all of these points- especially accepting responsibility for failtures, that's SO important!!
Thanks for the feedback.
Really great post! I agree - to be a success you need to be willing to share succes so that means sharing information and how you got where you are to help others.
Hi, thanks for visiting. Sharing information, helps empowers others, which in one way or the other, contributes to your success too.
I love all your tips but the one I love most is Embrace Grace. You do not often see that on other lists of ways to increase productivity and/or be successful.
