Self-confidence
Healthy self-confidence is essential to any success, but it must have a sound basis, such as an in-depth knowledge of a certain business field.
A mind open to new ideas
As the Harvard Business Review states, successful people do not rely on old, established procedures, but are constantly thinking of how they can move the current processes further.
Being productive
Successful people are highly productive, which means they do not waste time on unimportant tasks but rather invest their time and energy into meaningful projects.
Persistence
Successful people are not discouraged by occasional failures, and they work day and night on reaching their goals.
Immunity to negative thoughts
On their way to the top, everybody who has achieved something big is bound to have met a lot of people who told them one thing or another was impossible or would not work, etc. The fact they did reach their goals proves they are immune to such negative influences in their surrounding environment.
Being a role model
Successful people are open to advice, but they are also mentors and opinion leaders who provide lessons and experience to others.
No resting on one's laurels
Successful people are never finished. They see any success or achievement only as a better starting position for further projects in the future. They keep investing and they are never satisfied.
