7 Lessons From Successful People

By on June 14, 2010 in Lessons

We can often learn by observing those who have done or are doing what we would like to accomplish. There are certain habits or traits that many successful business people have in common. It may be to our benefit to try to incorporate some of those characteristics into our work life:

  1. Successful people have a daily plan, agenda or to-do-list.
  2. Successful people only work on what they do best. Delegate the rest.
  3. Successful people are able to say no to people and demands that are not the best use of their time.
  4. Successful people are organized in both thought and deed (or hire someone to keep them that way.)
  5. Successful people stay focused on results, not busywork.
  6. Successful people schedule uninterrupted work time and guard it fiercely.
  7. Successful people allow time for learning and growth.

    Hi, Royale!

    So many good things come in 7′s. This post reminds me of the 7 Wastes found in Lean Thinking: Productivity is so diminished when we don’t actively try to reduce or eliminate them. If you haven’t journeyed over to Jon Wetzel’s “Lean for Everyone” site, you should check it out: http://www.leanforeveryoneblog.com/

    Sadly, I couldn’t read this post because the irritating box asking me to tweet, like share and pin covered up yor text.  I’m sure you don’t want people to say they like your post before they’ve read it so perhaps you would consider removing this oddly placed gadget.

      I hope this issue has been resolved? I checked the post this morning and all looked fine.
