Is there a way to look at the personality traits of successful people in one field, and adopt those traits so that we can make money online? Well, one thing is for certain. We have all witnesses several people, or groups who have been deemed one hit wonders. If you question this, just think of what ever happened to the group Kris Kross.
However, it is not these one hit wonders that I am talking about as a model of success to make money online. I am focused on people who tend to do well in many areas of life, over a sustained period of time. To this end, I think of individuals such as Curtis Jackson (a.k.a. 50 Cent), who was a drug dealer, but became a best selling rapper, started his own record label, invested in 10% ownership Glacier who owned Vitamin water, and which was sold to a popular soft drink manufacturer, netting 50 Cent $400 million. Other individuals who I have studied are Paul Newman, Sir Richard Branson, Prince, Bill Cosby, Warren Buffet and Bill Gates.
Why do good things tend to happen to the same people in different aspects of their lives? In my observations, I have noticed that these individuals, as diverse as they are, share the following traits:
1. They work very hard. Of course, it is well documented that they play hard too. However, make no mistake about it. They get up early, rarely complain, and expect performance from others. Most importantly, they expect extraordinary performance from themselves. Repeated, high-level success starts with a recognition that hard work pays off. This is one of the things that you have to ingrain in your mind if you want to make money online consistently over time.
2. Successful people have a need for answers and a hunger for knowledge. They realize that there is always something which they can learn and improve upon. As a result, such people are constantly asking questions, studying, as well as reading. Something which I found particularly compelling is the fact that while most successful people have done well scholastically, it is ability to apply what they have learned which separates them from the masses. The truth is that you can do well in school by memorizing facts and forgetting them after taking an exam. What successful people do is to learn information, and build upon their lives with this information. You must learn how to do this if you want to consistently make money online.
3. These individuals network. They know lots of people, from all different backgrounds. They are extremely good listeners and seek to understand before being understood. They do not always have to be the center of attention. In fact, while many are quiet, and sometimes even shy, they value people and relationships.
4. They work on themselves and never give up. Unlike one hit wonders who become arrogant and quickly disappear, the most successful people work on their personality, their leadership skills, management skills, and every other detail of life. When a relationship or business deal goes awry, they assume they can learn from it and they expect to do better next time. Successful people do not tolerate flaws, rather they do what they have to do to fix them!
5. Those who are successful are exceptionally imaginative. Rather than accepting that something is impossible, they question why it cannot be done. These individuals are able to see new opportunities in areas which seem like complications to most. When they go to sleep each night, they make sure that their notepad and pen are right next to the bed, in the event that they are awoken by a cutting edge idea. They seek the advice of others, experiment with new solutions, confer with both experts and novices, and are always on a quest for a more advanced and less expensive solution. Rather than seek new opportunities, successful people generate them. If you are able to identify a market desire, and satisfy the market with your product or service, you will have determined how to make money online.
6. Successful individuals are very self-sufficient, and are extremely responsible for their actions. They do not waste time pointing the finger at others, and would rather look to fix a problem, rather than complain about it. It is not uncommon for them to allow themselves to be blamed for something which was not necessarily their fault in the interest of focusing on a solution.
7. Successful individuals maintain their calm, and keep things in context. This is even true in the most chaotic of circumstances. Rarely do these individuals become alarmed, or make rash decisions. Rather, they maintain calm, ask the correct questions, and make level headed decisions, even in critical situations.
8. Successful people live for today. It is clear to them that they cannot control the past or the future, only the present. Therefore, the present receives their attention. Successful people have the knack to fully comprehend conversations which they have with others, and pay close attention to the details of such conversations. They appreciate some of the finer things in life, such as a good wine, their favorite restaurant, music, and time with the family. Although never appearing to be rushed, they tend to get a lot done due to impeccable time management skills.
9. The most successful individuals are able to pick up on trends, identify shifts, and hear the mild distinctions which others do not. It is commonplace for a hockey player in the National Hockey League to use a $180 composite hockey stick. However, when you see people in a Tuesday night men’s league the same brand and model of hockey stick that Sidney Crosby uses, things become interesting. For a teammate, or even an opponent, the same $180 hockey stick presents the manufacturer with an chance to reach new markets.
10. The most successful people in the world are able to read and react quickly. When something which they have invested in is not working out, they get rid of it. When they see recognize an opportunity, they take advantage of it. If they notice that they are drifting away from an important contact, they make sure that they mend that gap by reaching out to the contact. When technology changes the face of the market, or a competitor takes steps to cut into their market share, successful individuals are the first to recognize this, and counteract.
These traits work together to give successful people a massive advantage. The good news is that none of these traits are innate. Rather, they are acquired, meaning that you can learn them and use them to make money online.
