If you want to feel successful, start thinking of yourself as being successful already.
Acting ‘as if’ is a very powerful way to lead yourself where you want to be.
What are the characteristics of people you consider successful? What are their daily work habits? Do they take specific actions you think contribute to success?
What are their positive belief systems? What do they avoid?
Can you identify their boundaries? What’s the first thing they do when they get to work? How about the last thing at the end of the day?
How do they treat colleagues, clients and peers?
Action – Identify the characteristics, behaviors, habits and attitudes of people you think are successful. Commit to implementing 5 of these into your routine within the next month.
Act ‘as if’ and it happens!
