Want to know why certain people succeed and others don't. Well successful people have certain traits? Do you have them?
Business has changed a great deal over the years. We now have computers, the internet and because of the internet - web pages, email and everything else that comes with it. Our telephone system has changed dramatically with the advent of cell phones and voice mail. However, even with all the technological advancements the traits that make a person successful in business can be traced way back when to our grandfather's day. So before you decide you want to go into business for yourself, check and see if these traits are part of your make up.
Are you a person who sets goals? Most successful people have always set goals. They started at a very early age. They might have set the goal to be the best in a certain sport, or in a specific subject in school. Or if they wanted something, and knew that their parents couldn't afford it, or wouldn't spend the money for something, they earned the money themselves. They did this by setting up the lemonade stand, mowing lawns for neighbors, or delivering newspapers.
This is the same person, who as they got older, developed other goals and worked for them. Maybe they haven't reached all of their goals, but they have always known what they wanted out of life. They have a vision for their future and they never lose sight of it. They keep revising and setting new goals for themselves. It is incomprehensible to them that everyone doesn't do the same. They wonder how other people can live without striving for certain things.
