To become a true high achiever, you need to take the time to enjoy where you are in the journey. If you enjoy the processes you perform on a daily basis, you too will be able to achieve more.
Take time to smell the roses!
2. Set goals that are SMART.High achievers meet the goals that they set for themselves because the goals that they are setting are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely.
Do not set yourself up for failure by setting lofty goals that no person in their right mind would ever be able to achieve.
Instead, break your long term goals up into smaller, more manageable short term ones. If you can meet or exceed a new short term goal on a daily or weekly basis, you too will be well on your way to high achievement.
3. Have great coping mechanisms. High achievers are people who can cope well when the stress level surrounding them gets high. This is not because they are super human. No, high achievers are able to deal so well with stress because they have developed a series of great coping mechanisms that help them deal with stress while remaining in control of their lives.
4. Know when to quit. high achievers are able to achieve so much because they know when to quit. They know when they need a break and they know when they need to step back for a week or two. High achievers understand that in order to continue achieving at such a high level, they need to take the time that they need to stay sane and mentally healthy.
Do not run yourself into the ground in the name of high achievement, cut yourself some slack from time to time.
See, it is truly not that difficult to set yourself on the path to high achievement.
