Over the next few months I am beginning a series on the major determinants of success. I will give the list today but over the next few months will expand on the ideas listed and provide greater clarity, expectation, and methods so you can use them on your way to even greater success in your own life.
The list is based on my many years as an entrepreneur, consultant, coach, and university instructor in addition to current research I am doing in this area as I prepare to obtain my PhD. This is not to be the be all end all but merely a long list of many, not all, factors that lead to what I call true success in life.
Corey’s major determinants of Success:
1.
Self confident
2.
Goal setting
3.
Persistent
4.
Hard working
5.
Self aware
6.
Positive minded (optimist vs. pessimist)
7.
View failure as learning opportunity
8.
Optimistic but realistic (not pie in the sky)
9.
High EQ,RQ, and social competence
10. Vision (Visioning works!)
11. Drive (Intrinsic motivation)
12. Do What
Unsuccessful People Are Unwilling To Do (Habits and Face Challenges)
13.
Have Fun
and Enjoy The Journey (Views from the
Top) “It cannot be considered success unless you are smiling”-Joe Desena
14.
Leadership and great ideas can come from
anywhere and are not dependent on position
15.
Synergies create a better outcome than the sum
of the parts
16.
Concentration and mental toughness are the
margins of victory
17.
If it doesn't challenge you, it sure as heck
won’t change you
So there it is. I
look forward to expanding upon each of these ideas and generating discussion
around these. I also look forward to
feedback and any additional things you have found that I have missing in this
list.
