Seven Traits Successful People Share Part Two

By arbutuscoaching | December 4, 2009

A previous blog post outlined the first two traits successful people share. They were the ability to take full responsiblity for their actions as well as the ability to delay gratification. Today’s blog outlines traits three and four. 

3) Be True to Yourself
Every person I have ever met has desires deep in their heart; a life they feel called to live. Unfortunately many people fail to follow their own path and instead end up living lives that are not their own. Essentially they sell themselves out. Being true to yourself means listening to your heart and making choices that align with your values; decisions that take you towards the authentic life that is calling to you.

 4) Take Action
Think about the successful people you know and you will quickly realize that they are all action takers. Lots of people sit around dreaming and talking about the great things they are going to do, but most of them accomplish very little because they never follow through on their ideas. Instead they procrastinate, allow themselves to be distracted by unimportant things or spend their time planning instead of doing. The world belongs to those who take consistent action day after day, week after week and month after month.

The last three traits of successful people will be outlined in the next blog post, so stay tuned!!!
