So, what makes a successful person?

A Successful Person in my books is a human who takes a lemon and turn it into lemonade 


Life will throw curve balls  - it is how we handle those scenarios that will determine our success - you can’t control your environment - but you can control how you react to it.


Are you a victim or someone that takes action?


Do you recognise the opportunity when a problem presents itself - or do you catastrophise it?


Let me tell you ..... shit will happen !! 

Prepare for it

Have your mind right

Have a mindset of abundance 


Here are a few traits that make a Successful person 


Successful people Communicate with precision. They find and use the correct combination of diction and tone to express an idea as clearly as possible, to achieve the outcome that they want.


Successful people Know that failure and success is an ongoing process, and the former almost always has to precede the latter.


Successful people plan their day, week , month, year and project - 


Successful people systemise and automate routine tasks  (4Ds quadrant - Do it , dump it , delegate it or defer it)


Successful people don’t lose their compassion - they maintain their humanity - they stay humble and care about those around them 


Successful people don’t lose their passion! It is key to making them feel successful 


Successful people Understand why people behave why they do
