Are you thinking like a high achiever?

Are you thinking like a high achiever?

I see a lot of people asking themselves and asking others how can they become successful? How can they get there? Personally, I find this pretty straight forward. How do you become successful? Simply look at the successful people, look at what they do, how they think, what they read, who they associate with, what they eat, and replicate all of that. To get an even clearer picture, look at unsuccessful people, look at who they associate with, how they think, the thoughts that go through their head, what they eat, what they read, and don't do any of that! 

How to actually get those results?

Your results are determined by the actions you take on a daily basis, and in order to change those results you have to focus on your behavior. This is the go-to advice in the personal development market right now, but this is not enough. There is a deeper layer of your behavior, and that layer refers to your thinking. The way you think determines what you do. The problem with changing your behavior is that if you don’t make a change in the way you think as well, you won’t get a sustainable change in your results.

You have to look deeper than the actions you take every day.

You have to look at why you should take those actions.

You can’t just replicate waking up early because you heard that a lot of successful people are doing it. You have to understand why those people are doing it and how it helps them. Let’s look for example at the benefits they get by waking up early: they have the time to prepare for the day, to plan and prioritize their day, to work 2 or 3 hours on their most important projects undistracted because everyone else is sleeping, and last, they get a empowering feeling that by the time most people wake up, they have already worked 2-3 hours and they are way ahead of the others.

In the end, I want to leave you with some of the most powerful thought patterns highly successful people have: 

1. Fail fast, fail often. Always ask for feedback and learn from your mistakes.
2. Have a life plan. Know where you want to get and how to get there.
3. Comfort zone is the enemy. If you want to grow and become better at anything - take actions that will take you out of your comfort zone.
4. I can’t help other people if I am poor. Get your financial life in your favor.
5. I am 100% responsible for my life and I will never blame friends, my boss, or society for what goes wrong.
6. Self-awareness. Always assess your actions, words, emotions, thinking and see if there is something to be improved. Without be aware of your own thinking and behavior you can’t make a change.
7. I am the average of my closest 5 friends. I will try to befriend people that are already where I want to be and I admire, and I won’t hesitate to finish a relationship that affects me in a negative way.
8. I am 100% present to the moment - when you talk with someone or do something give it your full attention.
9. I need to become a great communicator, you will need it to get where you want. “If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together”
10. Health is wealth. You can’t do anything if you are sick, so take care of what you eat and exercise daily.
11. Talk is cheap - Execution is everything. Be a doer, not a talker.
12. Valuing the long-term over the short-term. They are long term thinkers, they have long-term goals, and everything they do, they always ask themselves how will this affect me a day/week/month/year from now.
13. Self-discipline and consistency are the prerequisites of success.
