7 things successful people do differently

Success doesn’t happen by chance. It comes from habits, choices, and the right mindset. Here’s what successful people do, according to Harvard Business Review.

Be specific. Say “lose 5 pounds” instead of “lose weight”. Clear goals help you see what success looks like and keep you motivated.

Set clear goals

We often miss chances to work on our goals because we’re too busy.

Take action at the right time

Know how far you’ve come and how far is left to go. Check your progress often so you can stay on track.

Track your progress

Believe you can reach your goal, but also plan for challenges.

Stay positive but realistic

Don’t worry about being great right away. Try to get a little better each day.

Focus on improving, not being perfect

Grit means not giving up, even when things get hard. People with grit learn more and go further.

Show grit

Willpower is like a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets. Start small and build it over time.
