An essay by John Melonakos
Lucky and Successful Attributes
I ran across two articles that talk about attributes of lucky and successful people. Those themes fit well with this blog.
Here are things lucky people do according to Inc magazine:
- Play to your strengths
- Prepare in advance
- Start early
- Connect with as many people as possible
- Follow up
Here are things that successful people do according to this LinkedIn post:
- Embrace change
- Want others to succeed
- Exude joy
- Accept responsibly for your failures
- Talk about ideas
- Share data & info
- Give people all the credit for their victories
- Set goals and life plans
- Keep a journal
- Read every day
- Operate from a transformational perspective
- Continuously learn
- Compliment others
- Forgive others
- Keep a “To-Be” list
- Have Gratitude
Of course, there is really no difference between how the words “lucky” and “successful” were used in these articles. They are interchangeable.
Good thoughts on a busy day for me today! We’re going to have a new website soon. I’m super excited about that. Stay tuned!
