15 Key Success ‘Behaviors’ - Make Them Your Constant Practice ...

Here’s a checklist of behaviors common to successful people to support you in achieving your own Success Mindset.

1. Make the ‘Decision’ to be Successful - Success is a ‘Decision’! …
Success starts with a Decision – to BE Successful! Success isn’t a journey or an end result – when you decide you want something, & mean it with your heart, the journey is what happens as a result of that decision. And, what a journey it is! …

2. Recognize that Success is an ‘Inside’ Job –
You must choose to make the changes & shifts on the ‘inside’ before you can make real changes & achieve the success you desire. Our minds are like a big filing cabinet – you need to insert new positive files to empower yourself to get what you want. Be committed to your ongoing personal development.

3. Know How To Work with the Law of Attraction to Achieve Success
Access & put into practice Law of Attraction principles to help you Get WhatYou Want …

4. Set Goals –
No matter how far fetched, work on your higher Goals. Winners do!

Write down your Goals & Desires & review them daily. Write your Goals into specific Action plans. Break your Action plans into activity lists & chunk them into small steps (at least 3 next steps). Get rid of the time wasters.

5. Take Action!

Successful people know what they need to do to get what they want & they waste no time taking action & doing it … Effective Inspired Action. Success likes speed ...

Just take action. You'll feel fabulous when you do. Make it simple, take the angst out of it, & just do it. It'll make up for a handful of imperfections. Aim for progress, not perfection.

When you take that step, it will shift & move everything forward – you’ll see magical things start to line up & happen in your Life

6. Make Smart Choices to Support Your Success
Ask yourself - will this choice empower me or disempower me? Successful people make choices that support achieving the life of their dreams. The more choices you have & create for yourself the more success you’ll have.

7. Overcome Procrastination -
Be clear on what it would mean if you did it! Don’t put your life on hold – build a life that’s meaningful ... Successful people know how to overcome procrastination.


8. Be a Risk Taker -
You’ll never know unless you try ... Go on, give it a try! You'll be pleasantly surprised & feel like a million bucks! ...

9. See Opportunity –
Be savvy about recognizing opportunities around you. Be aware that an obstacle is often an unrecognized opportunity.

Successful people know how to make their weaknesses work for them. Embrace your weaknesses or shortcomings & turn them into teaching others how you overcame them & triumphed – tell your story ...

10. Know How To Pull & Attract Resources Around You –
Recognize that your weakness or something you hate or aren’t good at doing, is someone else’s passions. Build a network of people who can help you.

11. Keep Learning New Things – Constantly! …
Make this a lifetime habit. Successful people know what they need to learn & equip themselves to get what they want or move to their next success level. They never stop learning. Once you believe you know it all – you’re stationary. The 4 most dangerous words are - "I already know that."

12. Look for Role Models –
Success leaves clues. You need to look at others who have succeeded & gain access to those skills. When you know what the skills are that you need, you can go about getting them.

Successful people admire & model other successful people.

13. Participate in Mastermind Groups –
This is a powerful way to move to your next level by getting together & working with likeminded people. They act as a force field holding the energy of your intention for you – whether learning new behaviors, sharing knowledge, growing businesses, or marketing businesses together. No one can succeed to their full potential without ‘community’.

14. Inspire Others in Your Vision -
Your enthusiasm will be infectious – get other people excited about the possibilities.

15. Know when to Relax & Refill Your Energy Reservoir –
It’s important to replenish yourself ... Keep a balance between work & play & be mindful of the health of your Mind-Body-Spirit …

So, you know how successful people think & act – be one of them! …

To Your Success!

8 Key Personality ‘Characteristics’ of Successful People ...

Here’s a checklist of personality characteristics shared by successful people.

1. Always Dream Big! -
Successful people always see the ‘big picture’. It takes the same effort to dream big as it does to dream small. You have to believe it’s possible.

2. Have Passion – it’s Paramount! -
‘Do what you love & love what you do’ … Success is more than just money – it’s being challenged, happy, & passionate about what you do, & the success & money will follow …

3. Have Clear Vision & Focus -
Keep your Vision clearly focused before you. Live your highest Vision, & affirm it every day with joy & fun …

4. Maintain Powerfully Supportive Positive Beliefs -
Successful people always see the positive. It’s vitally important to your success that you cultivate positive Beliefs. When we try to make changes, our brain & ego goes for a search in our inner filing cabinet of beliefs to support the status quo. When opposing beliefs show up people tend to cave in.

5. Maintain a Deep Conviction that You Will & Deserve to Achieve the Success You Desire –
True winners know they deserve … Don’t waver because the Universe will pick up on your equivocation & think you’re really not serious about wanting it.

6. Are Persistent - Never Give Up …
Unstoppable people have persistence – you’re not going anywhere without it. If you want it badly enough, you’ll find a way to get it. You’re in this for the long haul.

Winners know how to get beyond problems & obstacles. ‘NO’ does not exist in the Success Mindset. Successful people find their way around obstacles. They see them as a challenge - it fires them up even more ...

7. Are Quick Decision Makers
Successful people are decisive. They know that Success & money likes speed ...

Make your decisions with power & clarity & make more decisions in every day. Each time you make a decision, you become a filter that clarifies what you want & the Universe begins flowing circumstances & people towards its manifestation.

8. Bounce Back from Failures –
Successful people bounce back from failure because they know how to learn from them & see it as a step closer to succeeding. It’s a learning experience that also enables them to de-bug what they’re doing.

The quicker you bounce back from adversity, the faster you’ll get to enjoy Success. It’s a numbers game – the number of things you try, the number of calls you make …

Do you have these characteristics? Know that you can cultivate them – if you can dream big, have passion, clear vision & focus, are supremely positive & believe that you’ll succeed, are persistent, think & act decisively, & bounce back easily …

To Your Success!

Living Your Passion, Your Life Purpose & Making Money at the Same Time

Another great question came recently from one of my valued Subscribers who asked – ‘How can I achieve my higher potential & at the same time get paid good money for my passion, my hobby, which is writing jingles & slogans’?

In response, here are some thoughts & suggestions that I hope you’ll also find helpful -

The challenge for creative people who pursue their life purpose is how to turn their passion into their livelihood. This is a biggie! ...

You’re achieving & living your higher potential if you’re actually already doing what you love doing & are passionate about it. Congratulations for that! It often takes courage to pursue your life purpose & true calling. You're obviously looking for answers & to find a better way ...

Many people have found their life purpose when they've taken time to reflect & see that something or some hobby they've been doing all along for friends (like coaching, crafts, gift wrapping, floral arranging, gourmet goodies, or whatever ...) fr*ee or charge, is a tradable commodity.

The challenge is then to make the 'internal' shift & put a 'value' on your creativity, talent & contribution - & believe it with conviction!

When we start out in whatever we pursue, it’s good personal & business karma to give generously of yourself & your talents, which you have already probably done. But, there comes a time when you must decide to take action to make this a paying proposition, if that is what you desire.

You may need to go 'inside' & ask some vital questions of yourself & make some 'internal' shifts to achieve what you want 'externally'. You may have some beliefs, conscious & subconscious, that you are/or aren't fully aware of that may be holding you back. Our 'outer' results are completely correlated to our 'inner' thoughts & feelings about what we want & desire.

Ask yourself these questions, in this sequence -

* What is it that I Do NOT Want? What are my thoughts, feelings & emotions around this?
* What is it that I DO Want? What are my thoughts, feelings & emotions? Our thoughts, feelings & emotions directly influence our behavior & results.
* Why do I Want this? Really connect with the emotion of your Why, you're compelling reason.
* What are the beliefs I hold to be true around these areas - positive & negative/limiting?

Try to identify the limiting beliefs that may be holding you back. To get what you want, to achieve your goals, your highest potential, you have to clear any limiting beliefs you may have.

Limiting beliefs stop us from taking action. They get in the way & create blockages to our achieving the success we desire & deserve … They stand in your way of making the changes you really desire.

When you've made the 'internal' shifts, then the 'external' actions you pursue (packaging your proposition, getting referrals, networking, actions to 'attract' 'ideal' paying clients who are more than happy to pay for your services...) are more likely to get you the tangible results you want.

Visit my website often - http://www.allinteractivesolutions.com/ - as I add a lot of helpful content & resources there (fr*ee & otherwise) about achieving & living the life of your dreams using the principles from the Universal Law of Attraction & Quantum Physics.

While at my website, you could also subscribe to my fr*ee 'Your Success' E-Newsletter & you'll get regular tips on how to attract what you desire into your life & get what you want faster & with more ease.

You’ll also have access to my new fr^ee E-Course titled 'How to Achieve a Success Mindset & begin Creating & Manifesting All of Your Dreams & Desires' - which takes you through the process of Self Coaching & going 'inside', clearing limiting beliefs, & raising your vibrational frequency & ability to manifest.

You also may like to consider enlisting the support of a Coach for a period of time to help you move through this process faster & more effectively.

I hope this helps. If I can be of further assistance, just let me know.

Wishing you ALL the very best of Success!

Here's to You having it ALL!

Best Wishes
