What sets apart the greats from…well, the rest of us? What are the characteristics of those people who always seem to get what they really want? What can we learn from those people who are changing the world and leaving a legacy? What exactly makes them so special?
Here’s what I know about you:
- You are literate. That may not seem remarkable, but more than 1 out of 10 people in the world aren’t.
- You are in the top 39% in terms of access to information, simply because you can access the internet. Odds are it’s at a high speed, too.
- You are wealthy. If you make $25,000 a year, which is half the average American household income, you are in the top 2% of the wealthiest people in the world.
Here are some other things I know about you:
- You are driven or else you wouldn’t be reading this.
- You work hard.
- You are passionate about changing your life and changing the world.
- You want more from life and you want to leave a legacy.
If all of those things are true, then why does it seem like only the “special” people, the elite among us, are achieving their dreams and having an impact on the world?
If you are among the wealthiest, smartest, most passionate people in the world, with access to more information than ever, why aren’t you in that elite group?
Why them?
Have you ever thought of those people who seem to have the Midas touch and thought, “why them?”
You are just as smart. You are just as talented. You have just as much knowledge and access. You work just as hard, maybe even harder.
And yet…you aren’t living out your calling. You aren’t as happy as you should be and you aren’t leaving the legacy you feel you should be leaving.
And “they” are.
So, why them? What sets them apart? What do all they have in common?
The 5 characteristics of today’s top achievers
You could spend hours analyzing the top achievers, the ones you look up to, and try to figure out what sets them apart. There’s nothing wrong with self-discovery.
Or you could learn from an expert. In his latest free video, bestselling author and one of my favorite bloggers, Michael Hyatt, shares the five success secrets of people who get what they really want.
He’s spent years studying high achievers and breaks down their common traits. When you understand these traits, you’ll finally see what may be keeping you from reaching your true potential. You’ll finally understand why you’re in lack, why you’re stuck, and why you aren’t living out the life you’ve been called to live.
If you want to make next year your best year ever, Michael shares who you need to become. Not what, but who. The good news is that it’s simpler than you might think.
The best year of your life is within reach. More purpose, more meaning, more impact…all within your reach.
Go watch the video. Don’t be shocked if it shakes you up a little. It did me. Also, make sure you download the PDF that goes with it. It takes the video content to a whole new level.
What characteristic do you most admire in others?
The ability to see the best in every situation…
I agree with Mark Sieverkropp – the ability to remain positive.
#1 secret: Knowing you already are a success and acting like it! I’m a self-discovery type. I appreciate Michael Hyatt and Jeff Goins and many others and I take much of their advice, but I’m on my own journey.
