My first translation was warmly welcomed by habrozhitelami, so I continue to translate articles I like.

Successful people and winners fascinate me. I always wonder what sets them apart from other people. Therefore, reading books about successful people, I try to highlight the “winning” habits that they have. Here are five of them that I noticed.

They know where they are going.


You feel confused when you do not know the direction in which to move forward. People who have achieved great success always know what awaits them in the end. They know what they want, and force themselves to achieve it.
When you have a goal, you have something that you can focus on. If you have no goal, you will wander and feel confused. The ultimate goal always helps to move in the right direction.

Need to find a reason


The ultimate goal is only part of the story. Winners have a reason to achieve their goals. They know what motivates them to achieve their goals.
The path to the goal is full of obstacles. Many people drop everything halfway due to the fact that they have no reason. But those who have serious reasons for achieving goals have a great chance to pass all the tests.
The probability of giving up if you have no reason is much higher. If you want to lose weight by 9 kilograms, but don’t see a reason for this, it will seem too difficult to achieve this goal. If you want to lose 9 kilograms to look better at your wedding, the probability of achieving this goal will be much higher.
When there is a reason, the chances of achievement will always be higher.

Need to find a support group


On the way to the goal, it’s very easy to give up if you are alone. Form a support group or find an inspirer - this will help you move on. To form a support group, find like-minded people with similar desires and goals. This should be a group of two to six people. Choose people carefully, preferably positive and with similar goals.
If you do not know where to look, try thematic forums related to what you do (fitness, personal development, etc.).

They know exactly how they spend time.


If you don’t know how you spend time, you are likely to waste most of this time. You can spend your money and earn it again, but if you spend time, you can’t get it back.
You should be aware of how you spend time. If you want to achieve your goal, but spend 70 percent of your time watching TV or hanging out with friends, most likely you will not succeed.
Get a temporary log. There are many web-based and mobile applications that can help you keep track of what you did on your computer and how much time you spent on each site.
Use the log to get a clear picture of how you spend time and make the appropriate adjustments. If you have seriously decided to change your life and achieve your goal, spend more time in more necessary activities than “time-burners”.

Try fast, fail fast, try again and never give up


It is very difficult to achieve the goal the first time. Therefore, winners try fast, fail quickly, keep trying and never give up. There are many things that you don’t know how to do, and trial and error is one way to learn this.
You can learn faster by trying and failing several times in the shortest possible time. You learn at a leisurely pace when you are too slow to act. When you act faster, you learn faster and understand which things work and which are useless.
You can make the necessary adjustments along the way to do everything right and get closer to your goal. If you are slow in actions, you jeopardize the whole process of achieving the goal and slow down your progress.
You may encounter many frustrations during your learning process. Be that as it may, don't give up. Keep trying new ideas. Keep doing what works and don't waste time on futility.
Find a coach or mentor. Regardless of whether you want to lose weight or start your own business, a mentor will help you achieve your goal faster. Since they have already achieved their goal, they are aware of the challenges you will face and whether this idea will work or not. Borrow their experience, and you will reach your goal faster.

If you decide to change your life, I challenge you right now. Start planning and setting goals. Make this year the best year of your life. Do you accept the challenge?
