Successful People vs Unsuccessful People (Idea 4: Planner or Impulsive)

Successful People vs Unsuccessful People 
Idea 4: 
Planner or Impulsive

Successful People

Successful people tend to be better at creating to-do lists for projects and the the future. They are better able to keep themselves on a path toward something or at least to see the big picture or have a long term vision. When one is able to lay a blueprint or a foundation and begin to work on that, then many other things begin to fall into place because they have a larger idea about where they are going or where they want to go...


Unsuccessful People

Unsuccessful people may lean toward more impulsiveness. They may be more prone to spontaneity or flying by the seat of their pants. While this strategy may work every once in awhile, a more disciplined approach may be needed for the long-term. Having a long-term plan or a clear vision allows one to have a blueprint for the steps needed to accomplish larger goals and objectives.

Successful People vs Unsuccessful People (Idea 3): Giving or Taking Credit

Successful People vs Unsuccessful People 

(Idea 3): 

Giving or Taking Credit


Successful People

Successful people tend to be people who are confident and comfortable with giving and sharing credit. They understand that giving other people credit strengthens them. People who are around them are further enhanced, feel more valued and can show up to be their best selves. Successful people tend to be more confident and comfortable with sharing and they understand the mission and importance of other people to their organization, their business or whatever endeavor that they are trying to achieve.

Unsuccessful People

Unsuccessful people tend to still be looking for the limelight. They are still seeking credit for themselves. They have not developed a comfort level where they are overflowing and overfilled with having credit and accomplishment. They are in the state of searching. They are not yet stable and secure. There takes a tremendous amount of stability and security for one to be comfortable turning over and giving credit.

What are you Expecting?

The majority have been programmed from their past experience to expect physical decline. And while it is something they don't want, they are programmed to expect it. And so, they're going to get what they expect. It's not that what they expect is the reality that everyone lives, but that everyone lives the reality of what they expect.----Abraham Hicks

I am expecting JOY, WEALTH, and SUCCESS! I am surrounding myself with like-minded individuals and letting all others fall away. What about you? What are you expecting today?
