Want to be successful? Then try these 9 habits of super successful women for a month!
Have you ever wanted to be successful? Or are you just like: “Nah, I’m good. I wanna be a loser with dirty hair and a job that makes me want to rip out that dirty hair one at a time.”
I know it’s a tough choice. And as dreamy as walking around with dirty hair and a job you hate sounds, I’m pretty sure most of you want to have success in life. However you define success.
Be it having a career you love, being in a great loving relationship, being an amazing mom or just making enough money to live the you’ve always dreamed of.
Success looks different to each and every one of us, but there are some common behaviors successful people share that we can learn from to achieve more of the things we desire. Today, we’re specifically going to take a look at 9 common habits of successful women.
9 Habits Of Super Successful Women
1. They connect with others
Successful women are networkers. They don’t view networking as sleazy and as something they have to do in order to get something out of a relationship. They genuinely want to connect and know more about others.
They value great relationships and do anything to keep them alive. Successful women surround themselves with positive people and other successful people.
This is so key to success, because with the support of others you can achieve your goals much faster than if you were to do it on your own. While this shouldn’t be the main reason you connect with someone, it’s something to keep in mind.
2. They exercise and eat healthy
At this point we know exercise and eating healthy can affect your mental health as much as your physical health. Women who are successful know the importance of their physical health, so they make these health practices a non-negotiable part of their daily routine.
3. They have a practice of gratitude
Another daily practice of successful women is the one of gratitude. Being grateful for the things you already have and saying it out loud every day creates a positive mindset, it keeps you calm and it helps you stay grounded.
When you’re grateful for the little things in life, you attract more things to be grateful for. Without appreciating the things you already have, you’ll get into a vicious cycle of always wanting more and never getting enough, no matter how much you achieve.
So start a practice of gratitude. It will make you happier, calmer and, well, more successful.
It’s super easy to do – simply say 3 little or big things you’re grateful for each morning (switch them up to not get bored), things that bring you joy and you appreciate.
4. They plan and have priorities
Having vision and dreams for your life is essential if you want to live a great life. Women who find success allow themselves the time and space to simply dream and then they make a plan on how to achieve those dreams.
An important part of making the plan is setting the right priorities. Any task or action that is not oriented toward achieving that goal or dream they say no to. They know their priorities for the month, the week and the day and they make sure to work on them first.
5. They always seek new goals, skills and challenges to pursue
Keep your life interesting by taking on different projects and adventures. Successful women never stop learning and want to keep growing themselves.
One way this helps them stay successful is that it allows them to master new skills, broaden their horizons and it helps them diversify their sources of income.
What works now, might not work 2 years from now, but having a set of diverse skills will raise your chances of staying successful no matter the situation.
6. They stay up to date
What’s going on in the world these days? Don’t close yourself off and live in your own bubble! Successful women know what’s going on in the world currently – they read books, news so they can stay up to date, so they can discover new opportunities and adapt their strategy.
7. They don’t waste money or time
Value your time and money – they’re both currencies! Successful women are very frugal with their time and money. Because they’re goal-oriented they don’t overspend and they keep track on where they’re spending their time. They save their money and invest it back into their business, making sure to earn more than they spend.
8. Successful women are givers
Sharing is caring. Cheesy, but true! When it comes to helping others, successful women aren’t stingy – they donate to charity, share their experience and knowledge, expecting nothing in return. However, the act of giving, makes people want to help them too. People want to support their business ventures and they want them to have the success they have, because they deserve it.
9. Service Over Competition
Successful women do what they do in service of others, not because their “competitors” do so. They’re always customer-oriented and work on their craft, trying to be the best they can be for the ones they’re serving.
Conclusion
Successful women aren’t special. They aren’t chosen. You can also be successful, no matter where you’re starting. You need to work on those habits and you might have implemented some into your life already, but keep learning and trying new things. Your dreams are closer than you think.
