How to become a successful person - 18 tips, stories of successful people

To become a successful person is to find your true calling, your favorite job, which will not cause despondency and a desire to run away from pressing problems. Looking through glossy magazines and television news gives nothing but an awareness of your own failure. Everyone can get out of their conventional comfort zone and try to make their life more interesting, both from a moral and material point of view.

Success rate

Historical data tells about people who have made a dizzying career and started from scratch.

From the outside it seems that most of the favorites of fortune did not have to make any serious efforts to achieve their goals; they received everything from the moment of birth. It doesn’t matter whether a person was born into a family of middle or high income; without the desire to change, nothing will be achieved.

Average statistical data indicates what people think the phrase “becoming successful” means:

• achieving your goals;
• faith in one's own strengths, abilities, actions;
• decent wages that will bring pleasure;
• well-groomed appearance;
• ability to combine family and work;
• recognition in society, universal respect;
• possessing the makings of a leader.

The positive qualities of a successful person include his hard work, patience, endurance, ability to insist on his own, and entrepreneurial spirit. A smile is the last indicator of success. A dissatisfied, eternally gloomy face will cause subconscious denial among future companions.

People don’t like sadness - for them, such behavior indicates chronic failures of a novice entrepreneur, and the result will be a refusal to conduct joint projects.

Advice from great people

A lot of information about how to become successful can be gleaned by studying the theories of success of great people. Particular attention should be paid to the habits with which they live, and, if possible, cultivate them in themselves:

• Solve all problems as they arise, without delay. This will require less effort.
• Set the bar high. The higher the request, the faster the desired result will come.
• Communication skills are an important element on the path to success.
• A poor environment pulls you to the bottom and dissuades you from taking risks. Therefore, it is better to deal with like-minded people.
• To take responsibility.
• Look up to the best people in your field.
• Start a diary in which you will need to write down all the ideas that come to mind, as well as break down large tasks into small stages.
• Never give up.

The theory of success is a series of ups and downs, without which it is impossible to move forward. To achieve what you want, you need to fail more than once and try again. This is how people become successful. They are constantly fighting on two fronts: with themselves and with obstacles. But only they can boast that they know what it is like, that sweet taste of victory that comes after a person has done everything that depended on him. And if this did not happen, then someone somewhere cheated. People become successful through their own efforts, and if these efforts are applied wisely and under the clear guidance of cold calculation, then success will come twice as fast. Checked!

Detailed tips

Becoming successful means:

1. Read more and continue studying - good quality literature enriches vocabulary, develops memory and imagination, and allows you to comprehend the initial stages of human psychology. You cannot stop there: a school certificate, a diploma of secondary specialized or higher education provides only the basics, the rest of the knowledge is accumulated from third-party sources. There are a large number of seminars and advanced training courses. To become successful is to constantly develop, without allowing yourself to fall behind in life.
2. Rest on time - the lack of desire for painstaking work indicates general fatigue of the body. Trying to force yourself to work will lead to backlash and many mistakes. As a means of relaxation, you can use walks in the fresh air, watching interesting films, listening to music, visiting exhibitions, etc.
3. To bring any event to completion - success directly depends on the complete implementation of ideas. Temporary stops due to extraneous factors should not serve as a reason to abandon the original goal. Changing course is allowed in case of constant failures - in this case, you need to reconsider priorities and draw up a new detailed project plan.
4. Going in for sports - regular training in a fitness club, on home exercise equipment, will improve the functioning of the cardiovascular department and will not allow the body to make reserves for future use. An active lifestyle allows you to be distracted from work issues for a while and prevents insomnia.
5. Avoid despair and depression - loss of faith in one’s own strength, a state of hopelessness are the privileges of losers. Under any circumstances, you need to remain optimistic, not reproach for occasional mistakes and look into the future with hope.
6. Don’t be afraid of obstacles and mistakes - any difficulties build character. Overcoming extraneous issues will allow you to gain sufficient experience for subsequent ideas. For any success you have to pay with unpleasant moments and failures.
7. Don't do work just for the paycheck - money is not a strong motivation. For a while they will be in first place, but later they will turn into a source of despondency. A person is happy only when the work of his hands brings joy to him and those around him. A careless attitude hinders the development of a business project.
8. Do not shift the blame to the environment - for all minor and major mistakes, only one person is to blame: who calculated the business project. Shifting blame and responsibility onto other people's shoulders is a sign of bad taste. In this case, it is better to stop, analyze the situation, draw conclusions and go into battle again.
9. Don’t get carried away with the past - constantly rethinking old failures will quickly plunge you into a depressive state. In this way you can achieve one thing: lose faith in your own strength. In your free time, it is better to sort through pleasant moments in your memory - this will give you the additional vigor necessary to carry out the project.
10. Remember the needs of your family and yourself - any action should carry some meaning. Success is a component of a fulfilling life, in which the main place is given to family values. The key goal of many famous people was the desire to get out of the social niche in which they were born, to climb a few steps higher.
11. Be able to set specific goals - only those who know what they need come to the fulfillment of their desires. It is better to break global goals into several secondary ones, and clearly implement the planned plan.
12. Eating right – the performance and health of the body depends on the balance of the menu. The brain constantly needs to be recharged with useful substances, like the whole body in general. Unhealthy food will quickly lead to excess weight gain and heart problems.
13. Work consistently – trying to do a hundred jobs at once will lead to chronic fatigue syndrome. The human brain does not work well in multitasking mode - it is better to do them step by step, with maximum quality.
14. Reflect while planning - before starting the next action, you need to carefully review all goals. Only after this can you begin to implement the business plan - such a strategy will reduce the likelihood of errors.
15. Create an accurate schedule - a certain amount of time must be allocated to work. Systematic implementation will help you get into a normal rhythm, not be distracted by foreign objects and perform it with the required quality.
16. Form a team - involving outsiders in your own project will allow you to rethink your goals. Team play allows you to more successfully implement business projects and achieve the intended success.
17. Know how to make material resources work - simply collecting money into an account does not give anything. They should increase in volume due to constant turnover. Only the movement of money allows you to achieve your goals and become quite successful in your circles.
18. They are not afraid to start doing everything all over again - having gained the necessary experience from previous mistakes, a person knows where he miscalculated. It’s not possible to start from scratch - past projects are a good basis for creating something worthwhile and reliable.

Getting rid of bad habits and eliminating dependence on alcohol, tobacco and nicotine products will help you maintain clarity of mind for many years.

What not to do to become a successful person in life

Anyone who knows and applies the 10 “don’ts” has already achieved success.

10 NOT

1. Don't be afraid to be first. Who knows what's around the corner? Has anyone tried this path, just like you? If there is a strong desire to move forward, that is probably where success awaits.

2. Don't be afraid of new things. It’s not for nothing that “new” is a way out of the comfort zone. Treat it as an adventure, or, at the very least, as an expansion of your horizons or life experience.

3. Don't be afraid of your mistakes. We grow through our mistakes. Treat them as a chain of events: mistake - reflection - conclusions - new scenario - victory.

4. Don't let others decide for you. Listen to your heart and mind when making important decisions. Don't let yourself be led astray. After all, this is your life, right? You can't please everyone, right? You want to be successful in your life, not in the life of your boss, co-worker, parents or spouse.

5. Don't be afraid of other people's opinions. As a rule, the fear of someone else's opinion is a far-fetched fear. In fact, no one cares about you. Everyone is busy with their own person and their own experiences: “What do you think?”

The topic of dealing with fears is so broad that I wrote a separate article with practical recommendations on how to defeat and get rid of this emotion.

Go the opposite way. How often and about how many people do you think something unpleasant per day? 10-20 times? Of course not. If the thought of surprise at someone’s appearance or action flashes across your mind, it doesn’t last long and doesn’t happen often. Nobody thinks the same about you. It’s better to replace negativity with resource affirmations (there are many examples for all occasions here).

6. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Even ask her. In fact, when someone helps you, you feel good emotions. From the pride of being useful to the joy of being useful. When a person helps us, he feels needed and needed.

So why deny yourself and others this benefit. As Percy Ross, a multimillionaire, said: You have to ask. Asking, in my opinion, is the world's most powerful and most forgotten secret to success and happiness.

7. Don't settle for less. This “No” applies to your personal life, work, and career. If you have a picture of an ideal future (partner or job) in your head, don’t lower your standards.

8. Don't give up. Just imagine, you are only two steps or two days short of reaching your goal. And someone else comes along the beaten path, taking advantage of the experience and achieves success. Well, isn’t it a shame?! Therefore, never give up!

9. Don't say yes when you want to say no. Very often we are simply afraid to say “no” to a colleague or friend. You have probably met people who happily and at that very moment, having abandoned all their affairs, help you. Is it bad? Of course not for you. But what about the one who helps, will his plan be fulfilled?

This is a fine line between necessary, vital help, and working help, when someone is too lazy to figure it out in detail, for example, in a report, or read instructions, or clearly formulate a question. And such poor fellows are looking for an assistant.

Self-esteem kicks in again: “What will they think of me?” Immediately a counterargument. What will your family think if you receive a smaller bonus, for example, from endless distractions to solve other people's problems?

10. Don't be a perfectionist. You can spend your whole life perfecting one single thing and mark time. In fact, perfectionism is a mixture of qualities such as fear of other people's opinions and low self-esteem. Therefore, allow yourself at least sometimes not to bring everything to perfection. While someone polishes little things over and over again, someone achieves success.

This kind of disobedience will help you be a more successful person in life.

And also, good books will help to “clear” your brain. The blog contains entire thematic collections: for the soul, for self-development, for everyone. Well, you can also read about getting rid of negative thoughts here.

And finally, one effective practical tool that will advance you on the path to success.

The Steve Jobs Story

Steve Jobs is a child of the family of Paul and Clara Jobs, who was born in San Francisco on February 24, 1955.

The natural parents abandoned the baby due to his youth and insufficient readiness to raise him. Guardians completely replaced his family.

According to the recollections of Steve Jobs himself, he was distinguished by a specific character, which was the reason for several temporary exclusions from attending school. Thanks to his unique abilities, he entered the fifth grade of school, immediately moving from fourth to sixth. As a teenager, Steve loved to tinker with his guardian in the garage, spend time repairing the car, and went to a radio amateur club.

He had a craving for technology since childhood, and during the same period he met his future partner, Stephen Wozniak. Together with him, Jobs created an analogue of a satellite phone, allowing him to connect with telephone network subscribers around the world. This blue box cost about $100 and sold well.

After completing his secondary education, Steve continues his studies at a fee-paying college, but the subjects he studies during the first semester disappoint him. Succumbing to teenage maximalism, he leaves school and tries to live independently, without financial support from his parents. A year later, after wandering, his resolve weakens, he returns home to California.

Parents do not pay attention to the impulses of youth, Jobs goes to work at a company that produces video games. At that time, he had a new dream - to visit India as a pilgrim. The tourist trip ends with a return home to the previous place of work. Atari developers made good money, which allowed Steve to continue to engage in third-party development.

The first attempts to create the famous Apple began in the garage of Steve's parents' house. Together with Wozniak, he assembled a personal home computer that met the needs of customers: a complete machine, not individual parts sold in electronics departments. The friends received their first orders from a store that specialized in household appliances.

In the process of further research, the first device that supported color graphics was invented. Investors were found to expand the company, the company's staff increased, and the transition to large-scale production of technical innovations began. The enterprise's profits amounted to approximately $200 million, representing a rare success in innovative technologies.

After a while, the development of the Macintosh began - a device that combines a standard personal computer with a system unit, keyboard and monitor. The evolution of the Macintosh family became the progenitor of modern laptops, at that time the software was developed for Apple by Microsoft. A little later, another brainchild of geniuses saw the light of day - the iPad laptop computer, which became a breakthrough in the world of computer technology.

In parallel with the development of new computer technology, the company began producing music gadgets - iPods. At that time, they aroused interest among the target audience and began to be considered a symbol of style and convenience. The demand for the music player quickly outweighed the costs of its creation.

The iconic mobile phone iPhone became the next stage in the development of the corporation. Having combined all the achievements available at that time and developed the latest software, the company released expensive and prestigious cellular phones. The next steps were improved computers and iPod tablets, which are still very popular among the population.

The original design, style and thoughtfulness of all the little things have become the hallmark of Apple Corporation. In Jobs's biography, in addition to working for the famous company, there is time devoted to the production of animated films. The computer genius's total fortune is estimated at $7 billion, 2 of which are in Apple shares.

October 2011 became a day of mourning for admirers of Steve Jobs - the brilliant developer died of cancer. Faith in his own strength allowed him not only to become successful, but also to fight the disease for a long time, not to allow him to give up and accept the inevitable.

The Warren Buffett Story

Warren Buffett was born in 1930 in Omaha, Nebraska, to businessman and famous politician Howard Buffett.

From the age of six, Warren tried to engage in small-scale business activities based on the resale of Coca-Cola drinks.

At the age of 11, he took on the role of a stockbroker. Having bought shares of one of the companies with his sister, he waited for their growth on the stock market, and received $5 in net profit. The small success was overshadowed by a further increase in stock prices - the first life lesson for Buffett was the concept of patience and the ability to suppress panic as the basis for working on the stock exchange.

At the age of thirteen, he filled out his first income statement - at that time he worked part-time delivering printed publications. The expenses column included a wristwatch and a bicycle as tools necessary for work. He invests the material resources accumulated during this time in the purchase of a small plot of land, which is then leased to a local farm.

The Buffett family's move to Washington is associated with their father's victory in the elections to the US Congress. The future investment genius studied at Columbia University in New York. Warren Buffett, in addition to successful investments in little-known projects, is famous for his apt phrases:

• You don't need genius to invest well;
• I always believed that I would become rich myself and throughout my long life I never allowed myself to doubt it;
• idiotic reasons for purchasing securities include the fact of their active growth in price;
• It is better to buy an amazing company at a worthwhile price than a worthwhile company at unrealistic prices;
• the further away from credit cards the better;
• asset selection should not be related to politics and macroeconomics;
• price means payment for goods, cost means what a person ultimately receives;
• at low tide it becomes immediately clear who is naked in the water - the phrase referred to enterprises that seem successful in a stable economic situation and collapse at the slightest crisis.

Society considers Warren Buffett to be a conservative, rather prudent and economical person. He is reluctant to get involved with high-tech projects, claiming that he has little understanding of them. Any criticism for reasonable caution receives a worthy response from the legendary man in the style: “If you are all so smart, then why am I rich and not you.”

June 2010 surprised fans of the famous investor: he transferred almost $37 billion to the accounts of five charitable foundations. This act was recognized as one of the most generous acts towards charity in the entire history of its existence.

How success blinds and what to do about it

Not many people achieve social success, but even fewer can maintain it. Copper pipes bring out the worst in people, and success blinds you. We must recognize and understand that social status is not a goal after which you can stop and rest on your laurels. This is one of the milestones on your life's journey, and most often, after reaching it, you will need to work more and harder.

Here are the problems that make up the dark side of luck:

• Success distracts from problems and the fact that something is going wrong.
• Success can make a person self-confident and arrogant, giving a false illusion of exclusivity.
• Success gives false confidence that all problems have been solved and the remaining ones are of little importance.
• Success does not give time to solve accumulated problems, since all efforts are thrown into what works well.
• Success has side effects in communicating with other people, family, and loved ones. That same psychology: “from rags to riches.” Often a person behaves correctly only when he is at the bottom of the social rung; after climbing up this ladder a little, he becomes arrogant and rude, believing that he can now afford to communicate with others from the height of his position.

To avoid the side effects of success, there are several factors to keep in mind:

1. Be humble, no matter what you have achieved.

2. Always look for problems that can and should be fixed.

3. Self-improvement - man is a living system, he cannot stop developing.

You have to run as fast as you can just to stay in place, and to get somewhere you have to run at least twice as fast!

The Bill Gates Story

Bill Gates is the developer of the immortal Windows operating system. Born in Seattle, Washington, USA, at the end of October 1955. His family included a mayor, a national bank vice president, and a successful lawyer. The basic personal qualities were passed on to Gates along with the genes of his ancestors. The childhood period of the genius is characterized by a lack of interest in games with peers, unsociability and increased shyness; he was not a leader among his friends.

Bill Gates studied at a privileged private school, where teachers immediately noted his innate logical thinking and high ability in the exact sciences, especially mathematics. As a fifteen-year-old teenager, Bill created a computer program that was designed to regulate traffic. The fee for it was 20 thousand dollars. His talent did not go unnoticed; two years later he received an order to develop software for dam energy distribution.

Biographers include interesting facts from the life of the creator of Microsoft:

• selling a million copies of the first version of the Windows operating system within one month;
• obtaining a diploma from one of the most prestigious universities in the world - Harvard;
• love of swinging - Gates claims that this is one of his favorite activities;
• the wedding of a computer genius took place on one of the rented islands in Hawaii;
• he earned his first billion at the age of 31;
• According to experts, Microsoft generates revenue of 6.5 thousand dollars every minute.

Errors

Becoming successful means not only achieving your goals, but also the ability to overcome the main opponents of getting what you want.

Psychologists have identified a number of things that counteract the rapid onset of improvement in business:

• The influence of fear - most citizens are afraid to make drastic adjustments to an already established life. Uncertainty hinders further movement: a person subconsciously fears difficulties, possible failure in a business project, an uncertain future. The best way to overcome your fears is to do exactly what creates them. Each subsequent step will be easier; only by confronting your fear can you become successful.
• Reluctance to grow up - a direct refusal to take responsibility, attempts to shift problems onto the shoulders of loved ones and work colleagues speaks volumes about the child’s behavior. To become a successful entrepreneur, you need to cast aside childish thoughts and urgently begin to grow up - you need to accept your responsibility for life and actions, and not be afraid of the consequences.
• Creating a type of busyness - fussiness and attempts to do several things at the same time, lead to the destruction of even the most successful project. Only painstaking work and cold calculation will help you become successful, develop your enterprise and securely consolidate it in one of the niches of the sales market.
• Victim complex - constantly blaming others for your own failures helps you lose control over the situation and life in general. Despite minor and major troubles, it is necessary to continue moving and strive to achieve your goals.
• Inferiority complexes – increased interest in the opinions of others about one’s own person degenerates into an obsession for many. Instead of creating his own life principles, a person strives not to differ from close people, helping himself to remain within his social stratum. Expressing your opinion is another step towards success, and not rebellion, as school teachers tried to explain freedom of thought.

Effective practices on how to become conscious - a direct path to success

There is a version that awareness is the first step to success. Mindfulness leads to a calm, positive outlook on life. The person becomes happier. And a happy person goes to success faster and in a good mood.

Many people do not understand what mindfulness is.

This concept is often associated with yoga. This is understandable. When performing asanas, thoughts are focused on the part of the body that is involved in the exercise. Also, when performing meditation (you can read how to do it correctly at home here), awareness comes.

Mindfulness is being in the current time, not “yesterday” and not “tomorrow.” Concentration of thoughts on the moment that is happening here and now. This is a state of concentration on any action. Do the job 100%.

A state of awareness provides valuable things:

1. Calm. Just a lack of worry about what happened yesterday. Or worry about what will happen tomorrow. In Buddhism there is a concept - Zen. It's about that.
2. The fastest way to achieve a goal, in the shortest possible way. Concentration on action allows you to do your job better. No time is required to rework it or correct errors.
3. Complete rest. If mindfulness concerns relaxation, then complete immersion in the event.
4. Learning to concentrate.

3 practices that will help you gain awareness and learn to be happy in the moment.

1. The practice is based on concentration on tactile sensations.

Close your eyes and touch any object. For example, you can pick up a walnut. What does it feel like: warm, cold, rough, smooth. Smell it. Immerse yourself in your feelings. Think about what is needed for it to grow, who raised it, collected it and delivered it to you.

Go through all the objects in the room. Allow yourself to be focused for just 30 seconds on one thing. Let there be only 4 items to start with. Play “guess” and ask someone to give you something. Without opening your eyes, guess what it is.

This technique allows you to be in the moment and trains concentration.

1. Practice awareness of your emotions. Very often we are not aware of why we are angry or irritated. A bad mood can become a constant companion for us. Listen to yourself, keep a diary. When you become aware of any emotion, listen to yourself in which part of the body it responds. For example, they began to get angry - there was a tingling sensation in the heart area, they began to get nervous - their back became jammed.

Sample

On the one hand, it seems difficult. Take a piece of paper, divide it into 3 columns, track all events and emotions. On the other hand, this technique allows you to track all the clamps and blocks in the body. That is, monitor your reactions in the body. When you understand that it is precisely this emotion that leads to a disease, radiculitis, for example.

1. Practice tracking your speech. Listen to what you are saying. How do you do it? What words parasites are typical for you? What a tempo and pauses. This mindfulness practice will be especially useful for teachers, sales managers, trainers, and anyone who interacts with people. Do you have a habit of saying limiting beliefs (many examples and what to do with them - separately).

Way to success

The difficult road to future recognition follows a standard step-by-step algorithm:

Finding your calling - a banal call to action implies finding something that will appeal to your soul and not cause negative emotions. You can become successful only by doing work you love, from which you don’t want to tear yourself away. Working under pressure has never given anyone a sense of satisfaction; it quickly becomes boring and provokes a search for a new job.

Calculating plans to achieve the goal - after determining your favorite activity, you need to start planning future steps to get what you want. To begin with, you can set a monetary limit - exactly what amount will be satisfactory by minimum standards, what steps will have to be taken to receive it every month, etc. An approximate schedule is drawn up for the coming year, with a detailed description of all future actions.

Studying other people's experience - those individuals who have reached a certain level in their chosen field should be of interest. This tactic will help reduce the likelihood of accidental errors and reduce the waste of time and effort. You can look for specialized courses, sign up for a master class with a professional, watch recordings with advice from successful people.

Changing your usual environment - reducing the time you spend communicating with people who constantly spoil everyone's mood, whiners, and non-stop complaining about life - will reduce their negative impact on your emotional state. Constantly spending time with such individuals suppresses any innovative ideas and impulses to change your own life for the better. It is better to communicate with persistent people who believe in their own and others’ strengths, filling everyone who is close to them with positive energy.

Getting out of your comfort zone - every person has habits that prevent him from living a normal life. And this is not always drug, alcohol or tobacco addiction. The love of empty conversations for many hours, excessive passion for computer games or watching TV steal precious minutes. Drawing up a strict daily routine will allow you to take time away from meaningless activities and devote it to achieving your intended goal.

Planning - the correct distribution of all income in the future will allow you to receive a small capital. It includes the family budget, refusal of loans, involvement in various financial pyramids and other frauds. Dubious combinations do not provide a way to increase material resources - swindlers sing sweet songs in order to lure them out of gullible citizens. Increasing the level of financial literacy takes place with the help of specialized literature and watching video lessons from a specialist in this field.

Creating a diary of your own successes - any achievement, even the most minimal, is entered into the diary. Periodically reviewing your notes is a good motivation before taking a new step on the complex ladder of success. Like attracts like - the more victories, the fewer defeats. An emotional charge is achieved through self-confidence: a lot has already been done, a couple of steps are left to achieve the desired result.

Elimination of loans and debts - any loan eats up most of the income, unnoticed by its owner. The monthly losses amount to round sums, which can be saved for the future by saving them in a savings account. The best way to spend that kind of money is to invest it in your own business project.

Investment - money must work for its owner; the presence of a certain amount requires its reasonable investment. Before starting an investment, you should carefully study all aspects of the issue, identify possible risks and exit options with minimal losses. You can become successful by investing in real estate, stocks, securities and business activities.

The ratio of work and rest time - this point is often forgotten in the pursuit of increasing material wealth. A mistake affects your health, and a constantly ill person cannot become successful. Too much time will be spent on suppressing exacerbations of chronic diseases, visits to the attending physician, and there will be additional expenses for medications.

Patience and self-confidence - the road to big money and success is thorny. At the beginning of the journey there will be mistakes, failures and blunders, and certain financial losses. Famous personalities also went through all these difficulties, but did not fold their arms and did not let everything take its course. It’s easy only in a fairy tale – it’s precisely because of this that wealthy people can be counted on one hand. Persistence, self-confidence and the desire to achieve your dreams are the main driver for a prosperous life.

Qualities of a successful person

A person who has managed to find his calling and achieve his goals, engage in interesting work and enjoy all areas of life can be called successful. Such people independently determine their goals and look for ways to achieve them. Many people think that the everyday life of successful people is interesting and carefree. But life often throws them difficulties and troubles, they just know how to quickly cope with tasks of any complexity.

Every person can achieve success in life by developing a number of qualities characteristic of successful people. These include:

1. Self-confidence
   .
   Any business should be started with confidence in a positive result. This gives you strength and helps you work towards achieving your goals, even when there is a long road ahead.
2. Hard work
   .
   As a rule, all successful people work hard, even becoming billionaires. It is important not only to achieve success, but also to maintain the achieved result with constant work and development.
3. Persistence
   .
   Successful people do not give up after several unsuccessful attempts and always try again and again. A great example is Thomas Edison, who failed 10,000 times before making the major scientific discovery of his life.
4. Optimism
   .
   It is difficult to get down to business if you are not confident in the possibility of achieving your goal. However, if you cast aside all doubts and gain confidence in your abilities, the likelihood of achieving success will increase many times over.
5. Persistence . Successful people do not tend to lose emotional balance in difficult situations. For them, any failure or difficulty is just an obstacle that must be overcome with dignity.

The most successful people have all of these qualities, but you can achieve success in life if you have at least a few of them. Test yourself - how many of the listed qualities could you attribute to yourself? This will give you an understanding of what still needs to be worked on. Now let's move on to the main part of the article.

Conclusion

Everyone dreams of becoming a successful, rich and respected person, but only a few complete the difficult path. The first failures force most aspiring entrepreneurs to give up their dreams and remain among the mercenaries working for a salary. The World Wide Web provides opportunities that did not exist literally 20 years ago: increased professionalism, exposure to interesting ideas. Seminars, specialized courses and video lessons allow you to understand the nuances of almost all known specialties and professions. It is enough to study the prepared material, outline a business plan and you can start your project.
