7 Signs that You will be Super Successful
Success in business has a number of key elements that are easy to spot if you know what you are looking for. Take an inventory of your own skills and habits.
Do you see any of these signs? Here are 7 that are strong indicators that you will not only be successful, but SUPER successful.
1. You are Always a Professional at Work
Laughing and joking has its place. You don't have to be a robot, of course. Just keep yourself very aware of when and what is appropriate and then you can safely relax, but never drop your professional image. Focusing on projecting a professional attitude and demeanor always when you are at work is something that your coworkers will notice; especially your boss.
Your clients will also request you for more work, after all, laughing and be casual is fun for socializing.
2. You can Keep Your Cool in a Crisis
The success-minded individuals that you meet in life will generally share this trait. They look at the crisis as a challenge, a chance to show off the skills they have used in career building, honing, and polishing. Some even thrive on it and it is this drive that helps to pave the road to success.
Confidence in your skills means that you can achieve things others would not dare to, so keep your cool in the face of crisis and let your skills confront the issue, instead of your temper or your fears. This is one of the keys to super-success.
3. You Show up to Work 20 Minutes Early
On-time is LATE. If you make a habit of always being at work 20 minutes early so that you can have a coffee, read the news, avoid traffic, or simply answer your emails at work, then you may just have what it takes to be super successful. You can also use this extra time to build rapport with coworkers.
What you do with it is up to you but your boss definitely notices who cares enough about the work to always be there early.
4. You Work more than Anyone Else
Always volunteering for overtime? Do you stay that extra hour or two, often by accident? Is there no mental division between work life and home life because you ARE your work? This is not for everyone, but I dare you to find more than a handful of people who are super successful who never had this attitude in life.
An integral part of success is the realization that your hard work makes the difference. The super successful are willing to work on it. Are you?
5. A Burning Desire to Improve
Are you always seeking to improve yourself, your skills, your position and rank at work? Ambition is something that many people think they have, but in reality, only a few possess it. The truly ambitious are always trying to improve themselves because they know that the options that they have are ultimately limited to the options that they have GIVEN themselves.
6. You See a Job as a Privileged, not a Right
That's right. People are fighting over jobs daily. When faced with the prospect of not working or doing a job that you hate, you will get the job that you hate and use it as a motivation to EARN a job that you want. Understanding that no one owes you anything and that your hard work can get you where you want to be is an important attitude shared by those who are or will be super successful.
7. You aren't Afraid to Ask Questions
Blind confidence can be dangerous and those on the path to success realize this. They know that the business and the work are more important than the personal ego. The super successful accept that they don't know everything but know that they can get the information that they need by simply making it a priority to always ask about things that they need to know.
There is no shame in asking, but only in doing a poor job because you were too proud to ask. If you ask questions without hesitation when needed, you are on the right track for super success.
So do you have what it takes? How many of these traits are in you? We hope the answer is many or all of them. If so, then you are truly on the path of super success!
