All successful people are successful because they remain focused on reaching their goals, are truly committed and do the certain things each and every day to reach their destinations. They each may have different backgrounds, educational levels and financial resources but each of them commit to these seven things every day to stay true to their goals.

1. They Plan. Successful people write down their goals, make plans and plan to achieve them every day. They focus on a daily habit of goal setting and focus on nothing by their goals until they reach them. Unsuccessful people talk about who is to blame, what they don’t have and etc..
2. Stay True to Their Values. Successful people know who they are and stay true to their values. They select goals that align with themselves and understand that their values impact their beliefs and their beliefs impact their expectations and their expectations impact their attitude and their attitude impacts their actions.
3. Overcome Obstacles & Roadblocks. Successful people understand who they are, their values and what they are trying to achieve. They know there will be obstacles to overcome and remain flexible and strive to overcome every challenge thrown at them.
4. Commit to Excellence. Successful people decided to be great and decide what a life of excellence is to them and live each day in pursuit of that excellence. They live a life of integrity and value and follow a systematic approach to achieving their goals.
5. Associate with the Right People. Successful people associate with people who are like-minded, focused and supportive. They know the people who create energy when they enter the room vs. those that create energy when they leave. They keep their network complete with people who right for their goals.
6. Manage their Time. Successful people manage the use of their time. They dedicate specific time to work on achieving their goals and the guard themselves against time pirates. Rather than live a life of constant disruption, they apply time management, prioritization and appreciation of their most precious asset – time.
7. They Take Action. Successful people are successful because they took action. You can know what it is you want and create a plan to get you what you want but if you do not take action, your knowledge and plan are irrelevant. It is not what you know it is what you do with what you know.
