Should you effectively absorb them and begin to reflect them in your life… they’ll unquestionably bolster your trajectory for the better and level-up your life.
Here we go…
1. Relentlessly Follow Through:
Always, always, always do what you say you’re going to do! Absolutely no exceptions. This alone will put you light years ahead of the competition.
“Character is the ability to follow through on a resolution long after the emotion with which it was made has passed.” – Brian Tracy
“Have the dogged determination to follow through to achieve your goal; regardless of circumstances or whatever other people say, think, or do.” – Paul Meyer
“Knowledge without follow-through is worse than no knowledge.” – Charles Bukowski
2. Have Renowned Integrity:
Be fair and honest. You will be liked, admired and respected in your community — and by people you do business with.
“The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.” – Bob Marley

“People of integrity and honesty not only practice what they preach, they are what they preach.” – David A. Bednar
3. Practice Deliberate Positivity:
Maintain a positive mental attitude every day in everything that you do. Literally choosing to see things in a positive way directly affects your actions and outcomes.

“Focus on your goals, not your fear. Focus like a laser beam on your goals.” – Roy T. Bennett

4. FOCUS:
Never take your eye off the ball, and beware of your comfort zone. Little-known fact, multitasking is a myth… single-tasking is a superpower. Ask Tim Ferris how he knows that. 😊
“The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus.” – Bruce Lee

5. Leverage Momentum:
Remember that the best time to do a deal is right after you do a great deal. Keep the momentum going!
“The most important thing you can do to achieve your goals is to make sure that as soon as you set them you immediately begin to create momentum.” – Tony Robbins
“The rhythm of daily action aligned with your goals creates
the momentum that separates dreamers from super-achievers.” – Darren Hardy
“A river is easier to channel than to stop.” – Brandon Sanderson
6. Truly Connect with People:
Always meet people on their level in all areas of business and life. Don’t be or seem better than, in any circumstance.
“The single greatest ‘people skill’ is a highly developed and authentic interest in the other person.” – Bob Burg
“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelo
“When you stop caring what people think, you lose your capacity for connection. When you’re defined by it, you lose our capacity for vulnerability.” – Brene Brown
7. Smile:
Smile. It’s contagious. And, fun fact… the action of smiling has been proven to actually have the ability to impact how you’re feeling inside. Some people smile only as a byproduct of how they’re feeling. But you can literally change how you feel for the better with the action of smiling.
“The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief.” – William Shakespeare
“A smile is happiness you’ll find right under your nose.” – Tom Wilson
“If you see someone without a smile give them one of yours.” – Unknown
8. Surprise People with Your Character:
This practice will always pay the best dividends over time.
“Character is the moral strength to do the right thing even when it costs more than you want to pay. Character is ethics in action.” – Michael Josephson
“Character isn’t something you were born with and can’t change, like your fingerprints. It’s something you weren’t born with and must take responsibility for forming.” – Jim Rohn
“We judge our own character by our best intentions and most noble acts, but we will be judged by our last worst act.” – Michael Josephson
9. Fail Forward:
Forgive yourself if you fail. Any mistake is only a failure if you give it that meaning. Every mistake is an opportunity to learn, level-up and be better.
“Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.” – Napoleon Hill
“Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.” – Robert F. Kennedy
“Not many people are willing to give failure a second opportunity. They fail once and it is all over. The bitter pill of failure is often more than most people can handle. If you are willing to accept failure and learn from it, if you are willing to consider failure as a blessing in disguise and bounce back, you have got the essential of harnessing one of the most powerful success forces.” – Joe Sugarman
10. Map Your Success:
Set clearly defined and measurable goals. Read them every day.
“All successful people have a goal. No one can get anywhere unless he knows where he wants to go and what he wants to be or do. ” –Norman Vincent Peale
“A goal properly set is halfway reached.” – Zig Ziglar
“By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands—your own.” –Mark Victor Hansen
