Difference between SUCCESSFUL and VERY SUCCESSFUL person

The difference between the MOST SUCCESSFUL people
and just the successful people is:

....Drum roll....

The amount of time they dedicate to their craft.

By the way, this is proven and not a random theory.

The very successful always follow steps that made them successful and its not the outcome that motivates them, but the love for the subject that keeps them "following the steps" all the time.

Average people don't have dream, connect average people and work for food only.

Successful people focus on the medium level of dream, connect the above of average people and work hard hard for better life.

Very Successful people focus on big dream, connect successful people and work smart for best quality life.

“The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything.”
― Warren Buffett

Sure that is one small aspect of the difference between successful and really successful. I guess... In one respect, one should not even consider competition and see how much value they could add. This would probably have a much more desirable effect than studying the most intricate business and economic theories surrounding competition. Forget game theory, just add value. Thats what I believe.

All good points successful people are smart, have a good idea or business model, and work their ass off to get to where they want to be in life.

Unsuccessful people not all their are exceptions and special circumstances but the majority think very differently and just want the basics out of life food, shelter, water, and a few bucks in their pockets and they are happy.

Very successful people are thinking mansions, playmates, private jets, and a never ending supply of cash.

No offense, but I'll take Warren's word for it.

"Success" is in the mind of the individual. It depends on your personal goals. Really successful people understand that. (;

None of you think a dash of luck has anything to do with it?

Here is the real difference:

Successful persons are good at what they do, are locally known and respected for it. Example: a great lawyer in your city.

Very successful persons are great at what they do, are remembered globally and leave a lasting impression on the world. Example: Warren Buffet, Micheal Jordan, Steve jobs, Mahatma Ghandi (success doesn't always have to be monetary), and so on

really ..is this thread really downgrading people who are just successful.

donald trump said it the best ..past a certain point ..you need real goof lawyers to get away with breaking laws . if you want great success .

warren buffet has a lot of influence with the current administration ..and has used that to get the government to make choices that ..improve his bottom line .

and what you say no to is far more important than what you say yes to ..if you want to be healthy you have to say no to about 90 percent of the food you can buy in a grocery store .and prepare a lot of food yourself unless you have someone who cares about your health making your food .

what you can and should say yes too become a much shorter list .

warren buffet doesn't just invest in companies he buys up the company and has influence over who gets to make the choices in the company .

there are people who are at the limits of the success they can have doing what they are doing .. and there are people who plug into the world system and have much lower limits on potential.

i believe there are more star bucks in china than the US .. but as popular as dunkin doughnut is.. it dissapears when you get on the western side of the mississippi .

but there are people who just have a few coffee shops . and they are living the lives they want .

there are 7 billion people on this planet everyone reading this post probably has more success than 6-6.5 billion .

i think the saddest excuses for human being are people who get depressed for any length of time because the had to buy the 800 dollar piece of furnature instead of the 1500$ one ..

keep the perspective you have healthy compare your success to you and who you have been .. and build success that makes your like and those you chose to have around you better .

so do you just want to be successfull ..and travel first class..or very successfull and have your own private jet ..

im broke as hell right now ..but i want to build and own several resorts in tropical countries ..and travel between them in a private jet ..

..i function and perform a lot better in warm environments ..and don't do well sealed up in a tube with hundreds of other people ..

it can take me 20 years to do ..but i am studying and learning what i need to do to move in that direction now

I don't think anyone was downgrading just successful persons. I think we were just distinguishing each term from the other via definition and example.

That said everyone should try to be great or very successful at something at some time in their lives.

YOLO. So live to your fullest.

Just thought I would add, to me the major differences lie in the inner drive, belief in oneself, and persistence.

Successful people have dreams.
Really successful people have practical dreams which they achieve and enjoy to achieve and enjoy more of them !

Look at Richard Branson. All that man does it start new adventures!!!

Richard! Richard! Richard! :-P

Well said by everyone.I like this .

It all comes down to how you use your time. Very successful people work more.

Cheers,

Another famous line:

To be Successful you need friends, to be Very Successful, you need enemies.

Sounds legit

The truth is, the question is posed for a one-size-fits-all answer, but there is no such answer.

The difference between person A and person B might be opportunity. The difference between person C and person D might be one of them started from a much greater disadvantage. The difference between person E and person F might be the goals they've set. The difference between person G and person H might be intelligence, or drive, or connections, or education, or health . . . and on and on.

Sometimes a person who appears more successful than another might actually be less successful. All that glitters is not gold. No two people are alike. The playing field is not level. Someone who appears less successful may have fulfilled more of his potential than someone who appears to be more successful.

Very successful people remember the times when their back was against the wall and they live every day with that emotion inside them. The decisions they take also reflect that.

Successful people forget those times, or they've never been in that situation.

um... "Success" the definition everyone is different.

From my personal experience, Success means you get what you need.

But my own definition about Success is you can overcome the challenge that you are facing in your life and then move to the better situation you want.

So maybe my own definition of Success means "really successful".

It all comes down to having a right mindset. This is coming from my own personal experience.

Hard work is good and will take you far, but not all the way.

The difference between the 2 is that the person who is VERY successful, does double or even triple of the efforts of the average men and women.

In my opinion the difference between successful and very successful in this the self-discipline associated with both levels.

The guy that is successful does what needs to be done and works hard but he probably isn't doing everything he could do to take his business to the next level. So, he isn't going above and beyond (which would be like getting an A+/100+ in school) but he's still working harder than the average guy(which would be a 90-95 A).

The guy that is very successful puts the successful guy to shame because, he has a better work ethic, commits to success 110%, never stays in the comfort zone, and doesn't let anyone or anything prevent continued success.

Very successful people are always getting out of their comfort zone, they don't stay comfy too long

Success requires commitment, time, intelligence, luck, and the ability to "never give up, never surrender". (Not in any particular order).

Successful people learn from their own mistakes. Very successful people learn from the mistakes of others before they make those same mistakes.

Successful people learn from the market place what works. Very successful people also learn from their competition what works as well. Then they also learn what doesn't work and implement from all four areas. So by focusing on what the competition is doing and not doing well very successful people learn and win. That is the reason for competition. It is good to have competition and to realize that we have it. And that is also how we can focus on the competition to learn instead of just focusing on what they are doing to win.

Then they listen to the competition and the market place to learn what they need to do better.
