Seven Character Traits of Successful People

1. They are hard working. There is no such thing as easy money. Success
takes hard work and people who are willing to do it.

2. They are honest. Those who are successful long-term are the honest ones.
Dishonest people may get the first sale, but honest people will get all the
rest!

3. They persevere. How many success stories will go untold because they
never happened? And all because someone quit. Successful people outlast
everybody else.

4. They are friendly. Have you noticed that most successful people are
friendly and people oriented? This endears them to others and enables them
to lead others to accomplish the task.

5. They are lifelong learners. Successful people are people who stretch
themselves and grow continually, learning from all areas of life, including
from their mistakes.

6. They over-deliver. The old statement of under-promise and over-deliver
became famous because it made a lot of people successful, including the
richest man in the world - Bill Gates

7. They seek solutions in the face of problems. Problems are opportunities
to do the impossible, not just complain. Successful people are the ones who
find solutions.
