Have speed of implementation. They do things quickly; they have an idea and take action (SOI) It’s about implementing straight away. Are decisive people. Saying maybe is not a decision, it will hold you back in life, You’ve got to be more decisive. Value their time and seek to maximise it We all have a limited amount of time and there is only a certain amount we can do in one day Build teams around them. Don’t try and do everything yourself. Focus on what you are good at and pay someone else to do the things you are not good at. Who are truly successful focus on the most important things. Work out the most important thing you need to do and do that first. Put themselves into a supportive environment. They get like-minded people around them to support and champion them to move forward Seek to stand out from the crowd Most people want to blend in and not stand out from the crowd but if you want to be successful you have to get noticed.
