Successful Tips From Successful people
There are many ways that we can improve ourselves. But sometimes we get stuck asking ourselves where do I start? Well, that is what I am here for, I am here to talk about how successful people, celebrities, entrepreneurs, businessmen, and women are successful. What do they include in their routine for success and what advice do they have for people who are wanting success in their life.
Embrace your failures
The most accomplished people in the world fail and fail big. That’s how they learn so much and grow so quickly and become so interesting and wise.
“The reality is, sometimes you lose. And you’re never too good to lose, you’re never too big to lose, you’re never too smart to lose. It happens. And it happens when it needs to happen. And you have to embrace those things.” – Beyoncé for “Self-Titled”.
“I am not dull enough to suppose that because you are young, gifted, and well-educated, you have never known hardship or heartbreak. Talent and intelligence never yet inoculated anyone against the caprice of the Fates.”– J.K. Rowling Harvard Commencement Speech.
“No matter where you are in your career. You’re always going to lose stuff to other people. You’re always going to get heartbroken. So you need to just find a way to have it not be that important.” – Jennifer Aniston to her “Friends” co-star Aisha Tyler.
Seizing Opportunities
Be ready to size up and grab potential opportunities. Do research, talk to people in your network, and always keep an eye out for new jobs, new skill-building opportunities, anything that can help you along the way. If you’re not proactive, you’ll either miss potential opportunities entirely or watch them slip right by you and turn into someone else’s chances.
“Put your head down and work hard. Never wait for things to happen to make them happen for yourself through hard graft and not giving up.” —Gordon Ramsay, chef, entrepreneur, and TV personality
“If I can’t make it through one door, I’ll go through another door—or I’ll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present is.” —Joan Rivers, comedian
“I feel that luck is preparation meeting opportunity.” —Oprah Winfrey, entrepreneur, and world dominator
Achieving Success
Success is not an instant result, no matter who you are or what you do. People who achieve that success has gotten there because they stuck it out, and threw everything they had at the process. CEOs, entertainers, thinkers…the version of “success” is different for each of them, but they have one thing in common: effort + time.
“When I was 15, I left school to start a magazine, and it became a success because I wouldn’t take no for an answer.” —Richard Branson, CEO of the Virgin Group
“There’s no such thing as an overnight success. That’s my concern with a show like American Idol. It encourages the false belief that there’s a kind of magic, that you can be ‘discovered.’
That may be the way television works, but it’s not the way the world works. Rising to the top of any field requires an enormous amount of dedication, focus, drive, talent, and 99 factors that they don’t show on television. It’s not simply about being picked. Which, by the way, is why very few of the anointed winners on American Idol have gone on to true success. Most have flamed out and gone away. That should tell us something.” —Malcolm Gladwell, author
“Success is just a war of attrition. Sure, there’s an element of talent you should probably possess. But if you just stick around long enough, eventually something is going to happen.” —Dax Shepard, actor
“Stop being so afraid! That’s really what strikes me when I look back—the sheer amount of time I spent tangled up in fears and doubts that were entire of my own creation,” the former U.S. First Lady told people. “Walk away from ‘friendships’ that make you feel small and insecure, and seek out people who inspire you and support you. Focus more on learning than on succeeding—instead of pretending that you understand something when you don’t, just raise your hand and ask a question.
Never stop learning
Bill Gates is the founder of one of the most successful companies and brands in the world that has quite literally changed our world. He is the definition of success, wealth, and intelligence. Bill Gates is still learning. That passion to expand his horizons has been the key to his many achievements.
“This is the key to life: the ability to reflect, the ability to know yourself, the ability to pause for a second before reacting automatically. If you can truly know yourself, you will begin the journey of transformation.” – Deepak Chopra
Apple CEO Tim Cook starts his mornings at 3:45 a.m., Ellevest CEO and co-founder Sallie Krawcheck wakes up at 4 a.m., and Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama, and Indra Nooyi have been known to rise at the crack of dawn.
Benjamin Spall, author of “My Morning Routine: How Successful People Start Every Day Inspired” and founding editor of my morning routine.com has spoken with hundreds of successful figures about their morning regimens. “It’s not a coincidence that all of these people these people have routines,” he tells CNBC Make It.
L. Rafael Reif, President of M.I.T., gets up at 5 a.m. and rarely skips breakfast
The President of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, L. Rafael Reif, says that maintaining his early morning routine is essential to staying productive and happy. “I set my alarm for 6 a.m. but I rarely get to hear it — I almost always wake up around 5 or 5:30 on my own,” he says.
The first thing he does is checks his phone. “I’ll try to respond to any urgent messages right away, then I take my phone or tablet to breakfast and read the news while I eat,” says Reif. “After breakfast, I shower, get dressed, and then I’m off to my first meeting of the day.” He uses breakfast as a time to read and connect with his wife.
“If I don’t have a chance to check my email, I worry about what I’m missing. Even when I do check my email, I still worry,” he says. “And it happens rarely, but if I miss breakfast for some reason, it throws me off for the whole day. The word ‘grumpy’ comes to mind.”
Goal setting is an important trait of those that have achieved success.
Knowing exactly what you want is the driving force behind your work ethic and passion. All the celebrities I speak with are extremely specific about what they are pursuing.
Diane Franklin believes that success is not only defined by the habits we establish but also in figuring out exactly what we want. To succeed you must define your goal and make a list of what steps you must take to achieve your dream.
If you don’t know what you want, you aren’t alone. But you need to start figuring it out. If you are stuck in a hole, then at the very least you already know what you are currently doing isn’t working, and that’s a start. Try something new and see if that’s better.
