10 Success Principles From The World’s Most Successful People

2. BE WILLING TO GIVE UP GOOD THINGS TO ACHIEVE GREAT THINGS

John D. Rockefeller said: 

“Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great."

Building a life you love will require some sacrifice, but ultimately you’ll create the most rewarding, enjoyable life you could imagine.

3. ALWAYS TAKE ACTION

Chris Grosser said:

“Opportunities don't happen. You create them."

If you want to achieve your dream and live your best life, you MUST take action. Great things don’t come to those who do nothing.

Take action on your dream.

4. RUN HARD AFTER YOUR PASSIONS

Oprah Winfrey said:

"You know you are on the road to success if you would do your job, and not be paid for it."

If you want to achieve your dreams, it’s crucial to chase your passions.

Money, success, and happiness comes from chasing passion first. Success follows joy.

5. CHART YOUR OWN UNIQUE PATH

Jim Rohn said:

"If you are not willing to risk the usual, you will have to settle for the ordinary."

The most successful people are those who have charted their own, unique path. Don’t follow someone else’s dream. 

6. SMASH  YOUR COMFORT ZONE

Michael John Bobak said:

"All progress takes place outside the comfort zone."

If you’re going to achieve your dreams, you’re going to have to push your boundaries and do things you’ve never done before.

This requires you to break through the 'Terror Barrier.' (more on this here)

7. STICK WITH YOUR DREAMS.

Steve Jobs said: 

"If you really look closely, most overnight successes took a long time."

Success rarely happens immediately. It comes to those who keep pushing, day after day, to achieve the life they desire. 

8. FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS

Bruce Lee said:

"The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus."

Achieving your dreams requires giving all your focus and energy to what really matters to you.

Cut out distractions and give your attention to the thing that matters most.

9. STOP BEING A PEOPLE PLEASER

Herbert Bayard Swope said: 

“I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure: 

It is: Try to please everybody."

The quickest way to ensure failure is by trying to please people.

The simple fact is that if you try to please everyone, you’ll be living someone else’s dream.

10. BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAMS.

Walt Disney said, 

"If you can dream it, you can do it."

The only thing keeping you from success is your own doubts.

You can achieve anything if you’re willing to work on it. Don’t listen to your doubts, listen to your dreams.
