Success is ultimately based on action. But your beliefs
determine your actions. Successful people believe.
That’s their big secret for getting ahead. You might
want to think it’s some unfair throw of the dice that
makes them succeed where so many fail, but that’s not
really it. Success is an attitude that comes from a
framework of powerful beliefs and empowering
thoughts. Their belief system informs and inspires
their actions—and that’s what makes them successful.
1. They believe that they are in charge of their
life.
Incredibly successful people believe that life does not
happen to you, but that life is a result of how you
respond to challenges and opportunities. This
empowering belief, that you and only you are
responsible of what you make of any given situation,
allows them to take charge of their own destiny.
2. They believe in their
own abilities and
potential.
Incredibly successful
people have great self-
confidence in the sense
that while they might not
have all the answers, they
believe they can figure it
out. They have full faith in
themselves and their
potential for greatness.
They know that if you don’t
believe in yourself and
your abilities, no one else
will. A successful person knows it never makes sense
to give up on yourself or your potential.
3. They believe a lot of opportunity is out there.
Incredibly successful people have their mind set on
opportunity and abundance, rather than scarcity and
lack. And this makes a world of a difference. Where
most people see obstacles, successful people see
stepping stones to greater opportunities. Where
others see dead-ends, they see possibilities to make a
way. They are problem solvers and not mere
complainers.
4. They believe that strategy is important… but
execution is critical.
Incredibly successful people execute what works—
over and over again. They understand strategy is only
as important as it informs execution. Develop an idea,
make a plan, create a strategy, then execute.
Eventually your strategy will need to be adapted and
then executed some more. Only when you set proper
systems in motion will you get desired results.
5. They believe they will
win through hard work
and perseverance.
Incredibly successful
people understand that to
succeed you need to have
grit. Work comes first and
the payoff comes later.
When others quit and
compromise their values,
successful people keep
going. They become victors
in the end not so much
because they are the
smartest, better connected
or more talented, but
because they are the last
person left standing when
others fall by the wayside.
6. They believe they can make tomorrow better.
This belief that the past can be reviewed and the
future made better is ingrained in their DNA. That’s
the reason why incredibly successful people learn
both from their own and other people’s mistakes.
Where others are crippled by past failures and
disempowering thoughts that they have little (if any)
control of their life, successful people are busy
changing the future by changing their actions today.
They are at the forefront of minor or major changes,
even if only in their community or industry.
7. They believe in doing things no one else is
willing to do.
Incredibly successful people do not shy away from
risk. They try new things even if those things seem
trivial or are simple. That’s because they understand
that to be different you must act differently. You must
be willing to try things others won’t. People will think
you are crazy at first. It is likely that you will fail a time
or two. Eventually your risk may pay off and people
will think you are unique and ultimately they will think
you are special—phenomenal even—for doing what
no one else was willing to do. And when you do what
others wouldn’t you will indeed be phenomenal!
8. They believe people are catalysts not barriers
to success.
That’s why incredibly successful people focus on
making real connections. They are not just interested
in growing their network in terms of numbers, but in
making real human connections. That means
connecting with people they care about, people they
can trust, people they can help and people who care
about them. Numbers won’t be there for you when
you need help or support. People will. So connect with
people by creating meaningful, reciprocated
relationships.
9. They believe in uplifting others.
Because real connections and friendships are
established by laying aside your own needs and
focusing more on giving than on receiving, incredibly
successful people are keen on lifting and uplifting
others. They are not jealous or envious when other
people succeed. On the contrary, they are happy when
you succeed and will consistently inspire, motivate,
and make you feel better about yourself than even you
think you have a right to feel. That is why, as some
have observed, you will follow them anywhere, not
because you have to but because you want to.
10. They believe in giving back.
Giving back is one of the ways incredibly successful
people show their gratitude for all the opportunities
they have been given and all the things they have
accomplished so far. It’s also a way to reconnect with
their roots and origin, figuratively and literally
speaking. Giving back keeps them grounded, humble
and in touch with reality. It reminds them that they
must keep working and playing their part to make this
world a better place for all. Make it a habit to share the
blessings in your life and you will be all the more
happier and richer for it.
