Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet. They don’t have super powers. They are, just like us, mortals who also need to sleep, eat, and relax. But what makes them different are the little habits that they have developed along the way. Here are eight things that super achievers have in common.

They work on a daily schedule

Though there are lots of tasks on their plate, they don’t get overwhelmed. They plan it out and they make sure they work and accomplish everything daily. 

They have work-life balance

Juggling the demands of a career and personal life will always be an ongoing challenge. But super achievers know when to relax and take a break. They recognize that a clear mind makes them more effective.

They have a healthy lifestyle

Super achievers are forward-thinkers. They do not just see the short-term scenario but also the long-term effects. They know that when they abuse their bodies now, they will have a harder time in the future. So they nip that in the bud. By sleeping early, eating right, and exercising.

They make small daily decisions

They know that big decisions can’t be made overnight. They don’t leap to solve something. Instead, they take baby steps, study every aspect, and make smaller decisions, so they’ll be more equip to decide on the big one.

They connect and reconnect

They surround themselves with positive, purpose-driven people. They know the importance of a network so they don’t burn bridges but they don’t take crap from people either.

They visualize success in their minds

What keeps achievers motivated? It starts with a vision in mind and they single-mindedly focus on it until they achieve it.

They are demanding.

They don’t tolerate mediocrity. They demand the best from everyone but they also give their best. But they know how to say “no,” too. They know what they can and cannot do. They don’t take on tasks when they already know their plate is full.

They don’t make excuses

Achievers don’t blame others for what’s wrong. Instead, they act to fix it.
