We all observe astonishing things happening around us, and the people behind them. We want to know how we can follow them. Sometimes we think this success is unattainable, yet some people seem to get ahead, no matter what. They aren’t certainly cleverer, more creative or hard working than many others. Still, they accomplish bigger things than their peers.
I would say there are lessons here that have the power to radically change your life over a period of time. These extraordinary successes become extraordinary by avoiding, escaping and neglecting a few unusual things. Here are some of the things extraordinary people don’t do habitually:
1. They don’t look at short-term goals
Extraordinary people foresee not what is attainable, possible or feasible, but rather what is impossible. Achieving something extraordinary is not a short-term project. So, it’s important to look at the big picture, thinking about where you’d like to be in one, five or even ten years from now.
2. They don’t forget to examine daily plans
Extraordinary people write down their aims, they make plans and strategize to accomplish them every day. They pay attention to a daily routine of goal setting and focus on reaching them.
3. They don’t hesitate to compliment
A courageous, extraordinary person knows the strength of others. He passes honest admiration whenever possible. To be a successful and respected person, start observing what you like and admire about others. By doing this, you will be actually making an investment that doesn’t cost you anything but in return you will get astonishing results.
4. They don’t quit something worthwhile
Sometimes, there are things that are worth the chance and when you find them, nothing can match your success. Successful people can identify what is worth to have and visualize the perfect path to success. In fact, more or less all extraordinary people we know in business, sport and entertainment have failed. A lot of them have failed many times but they never gave up. Effective people are able to pick worth things in a project, they recognize them and carry on trying.
5. They don’t stop sharing something great
Extraordinary people unconditionally share their success, knowledge and information that could be beneficial to the individual associated with them. They engage with and help each other, suggesting books, videos for motivation, answering questions and providing support, no matter how distinctive the goals of each person are.
6. They don’t go against their values
Extraordinary people know who they are and stay true to their values. They choose goals that are lined up with themselves and recognize that their values influence their principles and their principles influence their expectations and their expectations influence their approach and their approach influences their movements and actions.
7. They don’t hesitate to help
Exceptional leaders know the difference between “I want to help” and “How can I help?” Many people hesitate to ask for help and take it as a sign of weakness. Great people find ways to help others. They offer help in such way that gives an impression of cooperation, not superior or complimentary. They portray the behavior they want their employees to display.
8. They don’t waste their time
Effective people manage the use of their time. They give a specific time to work on accomplishing goals and they protect themselves against time wasting activities. Rather than live a life of continuous interruption, they apply time management, ordering and prioritize their most valuable asset – Time
9. They don’t focus on themselves
Extraordinary people don’t focus on themselves, but they leave a legacy. They set examples to be remembered for something positive. So, to be a successful and extraordinary person who’s remembered, leave a positive impression during all interactions.
10. They don’t undervalue small things
Extraordinary people learn to delegate themselves effectively. They find success in life by paying attention to the small things rather than to the larger things. Getting organized to finish little projects in progress is an important first step toward realizing larger goals. If you can’t handle small things, you can never focus on the big things.
