The top 3 core behaviors of high achievers.
1. Dedication to what gives life meaning, purpose and excitement.
High achievers have discovered their life purpose and use this to deliver a message or be of service to others. They are focused, lit up from the inside, and aren’t deterred from what their goals and dreams are. It helps them to drive their present into the future by doing what allows them to feel good, and walking away from what does not support their purpose.
2. Engaging with people in a cooperative and collaborative way.
To be a high achiever, positive influence is a key to success. Understanding the power of relationship building and connection. Engaging with people and the world with authenticity, honesty and integrity. Being humble about where they have come from and where they are now. Sharing knowledge freely, offering viewpoints, lessons learned, and inspiring others to also reach their own potentials. Pushing beyond internal and external resistance and reluctance to step fully into their purpose and passion, and learning to relate to others in a way that is mutually supportive. Together they propel each person involved to a higher level.
3. Embrace critique as a positive influence.
There is no need to be right; instead, high achievers want to grow, expand and be more effective to those around them. Embracing challenge, setbacks, and critique enables them to move past fear of what others think, fear of the unknown, and fear of making mistakes. Being strong, confident and assured in the face of opposition allows them to integrate constructive feedback into their foundation of purpose and passion. Open dialogue welcomes scrutiny from others without feeling personally attacked, and instead strengthens their determination to succeed.
Accompanying the enduring success of a high achiever is a feeling of achievement, a sense of happiness and joy in life, a feeling of having a positive impact on others, and knowing that you have left a legacy for years to come (no matter how big or small). It is an honor when others thank you for what you have brought to their lives, when someone admires your success and wants the same for themselves, and acknowledges the fruits of your labor. Now is as good a time as ever to take an assessment of your core thinking and behaviors to determine for yourself if you fit the qualities of a high achiever.
If so… congratulations!
If not now you have a map to follow so that you can shift gears, put yourself on a path to achieve your highest potential, fulfill your dreams, and make a difference in your own life and others.
