DOBA Knowledge

Success magazine has published a list of the qualities that we would find if we could get to the core of the DNA of successful people. Are these also your qualities? If so, success is inevitable.  

1. Predisposition to setting high goals and standards. They are never satisfied with being average and do not settle for the status quo. They continually look for ways to be better. Their goals are so high that even when they do not achieve them, they are still better than everyone else.
2. The ability to focus on reaching those goals. We often get sidetracked when trying to achieve our goals. Successful people do not get sidetracked but stay focused on reaching their goal.
3. They have the willingness to sacrifice to succeed. When the going gets tough, many people quit. Successful people move on and give their best to succeed. When things are the hardest, they remind themselves what success can bring and are willing to make short-term “sacrifices”.
4. Tenacity. Successful people keep on going even through financial troubles, when people question them, when they are tired and when many would rather quit.
5. A heightened self-awareness. Successful people know they need other people on their way to the top. They have no problem admitting and owning their weaknesses.
6. The willingness to help others. Successful people know how to help others achieve, too.

Education can help you strengthen these qualities.
