What 1 Quality Do You Need to Succeed?

24 replies
Being hungry is a chief quality.

So does believing in yourself and your abilities.

After spending much time online over the past 2 years these 2 qualities jump out at me.

I studied successes and saw desire and faith popping up again and again.

Even though I think my desire to succeed is the #1 quality in my success I know that unless I believed I could do something, I would never try to do it.

Because I believed I could travel the world and make money online I developed the strong desire fire to post 5 or more times daily - somedays, 30 times a few months back - and to network aggressively.

What do you think? What 1 quality do you need to succeed?

    Statcode beat me to it....

    But yea... If there's one quality that I'd say is essential, it would be persistence.

    Persistence when you fail over and over again.
    Persistence to get back up and tune your plans up before you execute them again.
    persistence to work towards those ideals you have regardless of how your outer circumstances feel.

    Grit

    You need to be willing to roll your sleeves up, fight, claw, scrape, and push. If you have that deep hunger for success and grit, you'll be successful.

    Belief in yourself would be on top of the list. Most people don't even get started much less quit solely because of a 'lack' of belief in themselves.

    I know that everyone can be successful on and offline.

    But not everyone will be 'willing' to pay the price. In order for someone to become successful at anything, they will need to shed erroneous beliefs and grow into a new self so to speak.

    But growth is usually uncomfortable.

    And most people don't like being uncomfortable.

      not pick on you ..just clearifying this concept as i study people who succeed .

      the belief that successful people have that those of us who are not successful struggle to grasp and those who will never be successful will never grasp .

      is the belief that success lies in the actions they take and is not blocked by somthing out there or handed out randomly .

      the willingness to say i have this problem in my life ..and i am doing this this and this that keep the problem in my life . then to say and start doing the things to remove that problem .

      so the belief that people need in themselves is the belief that they are where they are no solely from the actions the have taken in there life .

      everyone has bad stuff happen and the most messed up adults are the people who where sheltered from failing or having bad stuff happen .

    Know that others have succeeded before you and have started at 0 too. Which means that with the right KNOWLEDGE, you can succeed too if you persist and never give up.

    Self-discipline. You need the ability to take consistent daily action without making excuses. You also need a good work ethic. Are you being productive or are you just going from product to product instead of taking the time to follow through with one method?

    Once you get the momentum going then you can enjoy your freedom a little bit but in the beginning you got to "go to work".

      Years ago I used to believe that will power and self discipline is the way to have persistence

      now ,I never think it is near ,WHY ?
      discipline and will power dont last ,

      What I believe is that you need to find some reason to make your goals a must

      I mean you have to ask yourself ,Why I MUST do this ,and if you can find enough reason ,try to make ones

      another way is to have accountable partner ,someone to report to .

      this is by far my philosophy about achieving goal

        I disagree. Discipline and will power do last. What doesn't last is motivation.

        I do agree that you need to have a "why". When you are unmotivated your self-discipline and your "why" will help you keep going even when you feel like quitting. So, it is very important to have a "why".

          I would sum it up as follows :

          1. You should know very clearly what you want - The Goal

          2. Work out a plan to reach the goal

          3. Take Action - Most Important (This is where most people fail)

          4. Keep adjusting you approach/course (like an Aeroplane) till you reach the goal


          Regards,

          Mohit

    Focus. I say that as someone who didn't have much of it for most of my life. :-)

    That said, I like the grit response. That one word sums up a pretty complex quality very well.

    Recognizing the 'positives' in prior failures is an important practice, as it requires acceptance, acknowledgement, and standing accountable for your 'perceptions' and the thoughts and actions that follow.

    I was gonna say; consistency, as I often struggle with staying consistent, and on point with several good ideas.

    To summarize my response, it really does boil down to persistence, self-discipline, and being creative all-in-one.
