What separates achievers from dreamers?

A faint but discernible dividing line separates achievers from dreamers. At first glance, this line might be difficult to distinguish. You may fall into the trap of believing that talents, titles or resources draw the line between the doers and dreamers. However, if you spent a significant length of time with a group of leaders, the line splitting the achievers from the dreamers would become crystal clear.

Adopt the ‘Attitude of Success’

  1. Disown your helplessness: Can-do people aggressively pursue solutions, and, in the process, uncover creative solutions others never even try to find. Can-do leaders take responsibility for the future, whereas lesser leaders blame circumstances or other people when facing obstacles. Rather than wallowing in helplessness, can-do leaders search diligently to overcome the obstacles in front of them.

  2. Take the bull by the horns. Can-do people face things head-on. They go straight to the source of their problem. Their efforts command attention as they wrestle a problem to the ground with expediency (with positive intent, empathy and humility). I have discovered that people with a can-do attitude have interesting combination of tenderness and tenacity about them. When they enter into the arena of action, they don’t wait, they initiate. They take the bull by the horns. So let’s join them and adopt the attitude of success.
