01. Set CLEAR and EXACT goals :
Many studies have proven the link between successful people and goal setting. Simply put, how do you expect to reach your desired destination where that place is?
Set clearly defined short and long-term goals, with dated deadlines, and review them daily so they soak into your subconscious mind. After you've done that, note down all the action steps to reach those goals. Then... GET TO WORK. If it works for you, create a vision board of all the things you want and review that daily as well. Remember: If you can see it in your mind and you're willing to work for it one day you will have it in your life.
02. Strong work ethic :

The saying "Hard work beats talent" is true, almost every time. A successful person is those who are prepared to give everything for their goal or dream. Lazy and successful are not two words that go together. If you aren't willing to work for it, don't expect to have it long term.
03. Consistency :

Just like anything in life, if you don't work on it consistently. Chances are you will never have it, and if you do have it, one day you'll lose it. For example, If you aren't consistent with your diet or workout routine, you will lose any good health and physique you had. If you aren't consistent in relationships chances are you'll have problems. The same is true in business and entrepreneurship if your message isn't consistent if your work ethic and output aren't consistent, how can't expect to have consistent growth and success.
04. Discipline :

Discipline is one of the most important key for all types of successful individuals, from athletes to billionaires. It's the discipline to get up early when you don't feel like it. To say no to a night out with friends, because you have something more meaningful to work on. The discipline to say no to negative temptations and short-term gain, in order to achieve long-term results and success.
05. Willing to sacrifice :

The ability to sacrifice Now so you can enjoy later. It is to not take the easy path but whatever path leads you to where you want be LONG TERM. Are you willing to sacrifice NOW. In simple words to sacrifice small things, which give you happiness instantly and work on bigger goals.
06. Continuous pursuit of knowledge :

As Napoleon Hill said in his great book, Think & Grow Rich; The way of success is the way of continuous pursuit of knowledge. The world is moving and evolving so fast, if you aren't adapting to change, if you don't have the mindset that you can never learn enough, sooner or later, whatever you have learned won't be enough. Think about all the jobs, opportunities, industries, and businesses that are at the top now, but did not exist when you were in school billion-dollar brands like AirBnB, Instagram, Uber, Bitcoin, and Spotify did not even exist 10 years ago. If the founders of these platforms didn't have the mindset of continually learning and applying new technologies and opportunities, their inventions would not exist. The more you LEARN, The more you EARN and you can NEVER learn enough.
07. The ability to LISTEN :

Just like you can never learn enough, you can never listen enough. Listen to others who have succeeded and failed before you. Listen to the great teachers and leaders. Listen to friends, family, and business colleagues to form better relationships. Listen to feedback and criticism to improve yourself, your business, and your results in any area of your life. A person who tends to be knowing everything misses out on some useful information or knowledge to be acquired bt just listing. Be open to listening, humble enough to admit defeat if defeated, but strong enough to follow your gut instinct every time.
08. "I WILL NEVER QUIT" Attitude :

Read about any successful person at the top of their field, and the story is almost always the same...There was at least one moment in their life where they were down and out, where everything seemed impossible, like there was no way out. Where 99.99% of people would have given in and settled for an average life...But they kept going and somehow, turned EVERYTHING around. Not only did they turn it around, but they applied the lessons and GREW from the failures. That is the attitude everyone must have if they want success in any area, because LIFE will throw you challenges and you WILL FAIL if you are pushing the limits. Develop the grit and determination to keep going when it all seems impossible...Just believe in yourself when no one believes in you.
09. Having a clear purpose in life :

Nothing in life will throw you off course if you have PURPOSE, meaning, and clear, powerful direction. If you know your WHY, you can survive any 'how'. If your WHY is strong enough, you will go through any pain or setback to get to your goal. And achieve it one day.
10. Not afraid to take risks :
