Take advantage of introductions. When someone introduces you to another person, there tends to be a very good reason for it. You have to take advantage of these introductions because you know that it might lead to a great opportunity. It is easy to blow off an intro or not follow-up. Doing so is a missed chance to create a meaningful relationship with a like-minded person.
Consider the little things in their relationships. The best people are admired by those around them. This could be due to their high-quality work, their personal interactions, or, likely, both. They remember names, they follow-up when they say they are going to, and they take little steps to create stronger relationships with those around them. Something as small as sending a text after a surgery or a congratulations after a new job offer can make a big difference.
Constantly adapt in any circumstances. The most successful self employed people are constantly learning and adapting. They let their barriers down and are always willing to change things about themselves in order to be better, happier and more productive. This can be extremely challenging for many because it means letting your guard down and being vulnerable. We see ourselves in a certain light, and we make our decisions accordingly. Changing means accepting that our past choices might not have been the best. When those past actions are tied up with our ego, it can be especially difficult to move past them. The best people are able to do so in stride.
Successful people surround themselves with other great people. There is a reason that many successful people tend to be friends before rising to fame. They have made an effort, from the onset, to be around others who can motivate them and propel their success.
Pursue your passions. Successful people do not spend their lives living other people's dreams. They pursue their own passions. That gives them the energy to attack each day with all that they have. It also allows them to think more independently. After getting over the fact that you cannot please everyone and that you have to think for yourself, life becomes a lot better. Spend your time doing what you love enables the highest quality of work and it makes staying consistent significantly easier.
Be honest, be humble, be respectful, be confident, be passionate, but be open to criticism and to make adjustments.You will be successful! And when you are successful, move on to your next goal.
