I’ve found high achievers, be they property investors, business people or entrepreneurs do things in a certain way and think in a certain way.
After looking at the lives of
certain great men, Abayomi Jegede was able to
come up 13 rules that high achievers never break.
He suggests that if you obey these
rules, you will become a high achiever too.
So let’s look at them…
1. Don’t compare your life to others
and don’t judge them; you have no idea what their journey is all about
Stop trying to be someone else.
We all have our own distinct
purposes in life.
Be yourself always and become the
best version of you.
You are original, not a counterfeit.
2. Don’t act the way you are
feeling. Instead, act the way you want to feel
There is a saying that action
precedes feeling. If you feel sad, act like you are happy, and you will
eventually become happy.
High achievers get disappointed a
lot because they fail many times, but since they are highly-optimistic people,
they see advantage in adversity and make the best of every situation.
3. Make peace with your past so it
won’t screw up your present
You need to forgive yourself for
every mistake you have made in the past.
High achievers don’t go around
beating themselves up for the mistakes they have made.
Forgiveness is the first step to
progress and only those with a strong heart can forgive themselves and those
who have hurt them. Move forward today and stop dwelling on the past.
4. Don’t answer ads that promise
get-rich-quick schemes because it won’t be you who gets rich quick
Believe me when I say this: apart
from bonanzas, lottery, promos or TV shows, there is nothing you can do in this
world that gets you rich in a jiffy.
If it sounds too good to be true,
then it most likely is.
5. You can’t do everything yourself,
so get help along the way
High achievers are people of great
influence.
Your level of influence in most
cases determines your level of success. Make meaningful relationships and help
others get what they want.
6. Don’t envy what others have; you
don’t know how they got it
They say that not all that glitters
is gold.
The truth is that you don’t know how
he got what he has or the price he had to pay in exchange for it.
Think about this before you envy
somebody.
7. If you can’t say anything nice,
don’t say
High achievers don’t talk just
because they have to say something; they talk because they have something to
say.
Most successful men are very careful
with their tongues–they hardly speak out of turn or when it is unnecessary.
Learn to talk less and listen more.
8. Be comfortable only outside of
your comfort zone
Do something every day that scares you,
and break your own records each day.
9. If you are going to jump off a
bridge, make sure you know how deep the water is
This is the gateway to tremendous
self-improvement. It is the secret of high achievers.
Always determine the price you have
to pay for every decision you make before making that decision.
Many great men today are college
dropouts, but they knew what they wanted and the understood the implications,
so they went all-out.
So before you quit your job or quit
college, and before you jump off that bridge, ask yourself this very important
question: “how deep is the water?”
10. Change only what you can change
and let go of the rest
You can’t change everything you want
to change.
No matter how important it may be,
sometimes it’s better to do your own part and leave the coming generation to do
theirs.
Things we can’t change, if we
persist, eventually change us.
11. What others think of you is none
of your business
What matters most in life is your
belief in yourself.
People will always talk about you,
and if they don’t, then you are probably not worth much.
Ignore whatever anyone has to say
about you and hold firm what you know and what you believe.
12. Never test the depth of the
river with both feet
This is very important. Don’t put
all your eggs into one basket; you may never recover from it.
Spread out your risks in life. There
is no way to succeed without taking risks, but its wiser and safer to take
calculated risks.
13. Honesty is a very expensive
gift. Do not expect it from cheap people
This is one of Warren Buffet’s
guiding principles.
I have learned this lesson the hard
way and my experiences are not very pretty.
The sooner you learn this, the
better.
Do not expect too much from
people–only a few men have that virtue called integrity.
