The skills necessary for success can be learned, just like any other skill.  You can struggle or you can learn from those who have gone before you. A Financial Life Coach will help you implement the successful musts in your life.  Here is a list of things that successful people have in common. These are things that you can start working on today!

Successful people have a dream.  People who achieve much in life have a purpose, understand what it is, and work toward it.  They are clear about why they are here.  They know what they will accomplish while they are on earth.

Successful people have a plan.  Having a written plan will guide you toward your main mission in life with daily, weekly, monthly and annual markers.

Successful people are disciplined.  Daydreaming is a good thing.  As is having a set of tasks to accomplish today, regardless of how you feel, how the weather is or small impediments that might come up.  Discipline keeps you moving forward.

Successful people take complete and total responsibility for their lives.  Quit blaming the boss, your spouse, or your parents.  Just accept that you are, now, in charge of your life.  No one else.

Successful people are solution oriented.  We all have problems with accomplishing what we set out to do today.  Focus on the solution, not the problem.  Accept that the problem is there and then move on to finding and implementing a solution that moves you closer to your goal.

Successful people are action oriented.  Some days, any action is good.  Think about the road blocks, get advice if you like, and then move ahead.  Learn how to overcome inaction.

Successful people are constantly upgrading their skills.  Read, listen and talk.  Gain new skills every day.  The world is changing with new technologies in many areas.  Our understanding of human performance is expanding as is our understanding of human health.  Faster computers and more powerful software that allows us to accomplish things that took days just a few years ago, now can be completed in minutes.

Successful people are realistic.  Realism is a balance between dreams and fatalism.  Understanding what is real is a powerful connection to your dreams and goals.  Awareness of what is possible provides grounding to the task at hand until it is done.

Successful people are focused. The achievement of dreams through action requires focus.  Some days you just have to put your head down and get it done.  No more mind games, just stay focused on the task at hand until it is done.

Successful people are fun and enthusiastic. Most boring and lifeless people have a ways to go in the success department.  Success is drawn to those who are fully engaged in their dream and a joy to be around.
