Traits of Successful People.

Starting a new project can be more than a little daunting. There are so many variables that if left unattended can be disastrous. Unfortunately we can't know what the pitfalls are we can just learn to roll with the problems and learn to deal with them head on. This is what I noticed about successful people around me. 

- Successful people are very good at adapting their goal, while keeping the vision for their company intact. 
- They are people who have been knocked down and keep getting up over and over again. 
- They know how to let go of something that's not working and set it aside for an alternative that does work. 
- They are also good listeners who are willing to listen to suggestions knowing that some suggestions will be the answer and the other suggestions will be graciously accepted with a smile and never go beyond that conversation. 
- Listening is an important skill few of us acquire, but many need it to properly lead. 
- they surround themselves with people who are smarter than they are. 
- Making the people around you feel valued it also the trait of a successful person. 

I can only hope as I venture out with my new projects that I display all of these traits along the way.
