Winning is important in life and we all want to be winners in our own fields. However, we are all not successful and one of the reasons for the lack of success is bad habits. Habits can be compared to a double edged sword. The good ones really help while the bad habits can have disastrous consequences. There are certain habits practised by people which make them winners; however, it takes time to master them and put them into practice. They don’t come easy but when mastered and followed as a routine they make a world of a difference.

1) Show up even if you do not feel like it: No all of life is comfortable, in fact the often the important aspects of life can be beyond your comfort zone. It is essential that you do not shirk responsibility and procrastinate when things are not very comfortable. Take them head on. You need to do all the things winners do. Hit the gym even if you feel like sleeping a little more, attend that seminar despite having a less important but relaxing event to attend. Stick to a weight loss program despite severe bouts of temptation. Every effort you put in towards your goals makes you a winner.

2) No excuses for losing: It is not possible to win at everything you do. And in certain tasks it takes many instances of losing before you can emerge a winner. The difference in moving forward is your attitude when you lose. Losers blame someone else for their loses and immediately give up. Winners on the other hand learn from their mistakes, do not put their head down in shame and decide to get back stronger. Get into this determined habit despite not having the best of outcomes and you will be a winner in life.

3) Stay away from negativity and gossip: Winners never indulge in gossip. They have much more in life to do then talk about others. They are busy living their own lives. There are people who will demotivate you and laugh at your goals, such negativity is not acceptable in your life and you need to immediately move on by letting go of such influences in your life.

4) Surround yourself with successful people: A man is known by the company he keeps. Could the reverse of this also be true? Could a man become just like the company he keeps? If possible always hang out with people who are better than you! It is good for your self-development. When you hang out with people who are more successful than you, you raise the bar for your own life. Extraordinarily successful people have lots of interesting things to talk about. They do not indulge in petty talks, negative topics and talks of scarcity. They look forward to bettering their life each day and these are just the right people that you need to hang out with.

5) Seek help: Successful people know that life cannot be lived in solitude. No man is an island. We all need to interact and mingle with each other each day. Successful people network effectively and take help from professionals like Life Coaches whenever needed. I have coached 100’s of successful businessmen to better themselves in more ways than one.
