MY TOPIC THIS WEEK: Traits of Highly Effective People

To be effective means to do the right things that benefit your life, your business, and any action you take in the right way at the right time. Effectiveness means cultivating success in every aspect of your life. Most successful people are effective and seek to be useful. Effective people share the same common traits. There is a recipe that leads to success, and highly effective people have the best one.

I. IDEAS FROM ME

Self-Confident

Effective people are said to have high confidence. They believe in their ability to perform and don't let self-doubt get in the way of success, further encouraging them to practice their skills and get better. The more confident you are, the better you perform. This is because your well-balanced emotions help you make better choices.

Independent

Highly effective people understand that it is up to them to get what they want from life. They don’t expect others to make them happy or give them a successful life. You're the only one who knows what makes you happy and what it takes to be successful, in your own opinion. It is no one else's responsibility, and it shouldn't be.

Brave

To be successful, taking opportunities and risk is imperative - step outside your comfort zone. No one can grow, learn, or achieve their goals if they stay in the same place and do the same thing each day.

Productive

Simply put, productivity breeds success. If you sit around and don't act, you won't do the necessary tasks to achieve your goals. Effective and successful people know how to use their time wisely and only do things that provide value to their overall goal.

Organized

You can't have proper time management skills if you are disorganized, and you can't expect success without using your time wisely. Therefore, establishing effective organizational habits is essential and never overlooked by successful people.

Forgiving

They know how to forgive themselves and others for mistakes easily and without asking. Effective people understand that they need to make mistakes to truly learn. This allows them to avoid wasting time and to get back on track quickly. Once they make a mistake, they now understand they need to develop new strategies and techniques to get there.

To be more successful, try adopting these common traits of successful people. Ultimately, it requires a lot of self-discipline and self-reliance to achieve your goals, whether personal or business-related.

II. QUOTES FROM OTHERS

“I believe that a life of integrity is the most fundamental source of personal worth. I do not agree with the popular success literature that says that self-esteem is primarily a matter of mindset, of attitude – that you can psych yourself into peace of mind. Peace of mind comes when your life is in harmony with true principles and values and in no other way.”

Stephen Richards Covey was an American educator, author, businessman, and keynote speaker. His most popular book is The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”

Aristotle was a Greek philosopher and polymath during the Classical period in Ancient Greece. Taught by Plato, he was the founder of the Lyceum, the Peripatetic school of philosophy, and the Aristotelian tradition.
