What Do Successful People Do?

Scott Smith - Motivation and Coaching
About this episode

What Do Successful People Do?


If you study people who have succeeded in any area of their life, you will find they have much in common. 


Not only do they follow a set of rules, but they also follow those rules no matter how much life gets in the way.


What are those rules?


The person who has the strongest "Why" wins.


The person who shows up wins.


The person who shows up on time wins.


The person who is most persistent wins.


The person show never assumes wins.


The person who is the best at what they do wins.


The person who plans and documents their journey and interactions wins.


The person who never gives up total control to others wins.


The person who accepts responsibility for themselves wins.


The person who serves the most wins.


The person who is grateful for everything wins.


The actions you take automatically become the life you experience. It's essential to be mindful of where you are heading.
