7 Things Successful People Do

Differently…
What is it that makes some people successful in
life – able to reach whatever goal they like –
while others get stuck in the same place for
years, if not decades?
Is it their education? Where they were born?

Who their family is? Is it genetics?
The reality is… it’s none of the above!
In my working with thousands of people over the

years to help them change their lives – to help
them create both financial success and personal
fulfillment – I’ve found 7 things in particular that
successful people do differently.
I’ve outlined them below. How many of these 7

things are you doing?
1 – They first change how they think and

feel
Let’s start with how they think:

Talk to anybody who built success in their life
and they’ll tell you that they changed their
thinking in order to get different results. Every
one of us is a product of our thinking. Our
finances, relationships, health, happiness, and
every other area are dictated by our thinking. If
you want a different result in life, you need to
change your thinking first.
How they feel:

Very often people get hung up on “thinking like
successful people” and forget a key element:
what they’re feeling. Listening to your emotions
is critical to understanding what is holding you
back, both consciously and unconsciously.
Successful people know that our emotions drive

everything. If you’re feeling overwhelmed,
afraid, stressed, sad, depressed, or any other
negative emotion, your brain is less resourceful
and less able to help you make good decisions or
take important actions. If you want to have
more energy, make better decisions, be more
creative, and have more success in life…
Develop the habit of paying attention to your

emotions. Then do what’s needed to be in the
right emotional state (like using Tapping, which
we’ll get to later!)
2 – They believe they deserve success
Successful people believe they deserve success;

unsuccessful people do not.
The area where this is most evident is with

money. Financially successful people generally
feel they deserve to be successful, and so they’ve
created it in their lives.
So what qualifies somebody as “deserving

success” or not? Only one thing… the rules they
create for it in their own brain.
Oftentimes, people think (consciously or

unconsciously) they don’t deserve success
because of false beliefs like, “I’m not a good
enough person,” or “I don’t work hard enough,”
or “I’m not smart enough,” or any other from a
laundry list of negative limiting beliefs.
In order to find out what you believe about

success just SAY and COMPLETE these two
phrases out loud:
I don’t deserve success because… (say what

first comes up, don’t question it)
I deserve success because… (say what first
comes up, don’t question it)
When you say these two phrases out loud, your

unconscious brain will give you the reasons
that have been programmed as to why you
believe one way or the other. If you’re not
getting the answer you’d like (or you’re surprised
by what’s coming up), don’t worry…
I’ll show you how to change your belief

systems around success shortly, all using EFT
Tapping!
Remember, at the end of the day every person –

and I mean EVERY person – deserves success.
Every person is capable of growth, of love, of
giving beyond themselves… and being rewarded
for it! Anyone can succeed financially, in
relationships, with their health, in any area of
their life.
I’ll show you how to get there. You can start by

Beliefs About Money and Success and How to
Eliminate them in Minutes.
3 – They do whatever it takes to

overcome events and patterns from the
past that don’t serve them
Most of the habits, patterns, and beliefs that we

have today were developed between the ages
of 0 and 6 years old. They weren’t developed
consciously, they were essentially downloaded
from our parents, and from other people &
events happening around us at the time.
We didn’t have a choice as to what beliefs were

given to us, or what events were happening
around us. Unfortunately, many of those beliefs,
patterns, and experiences were negative and
have limited us in our adult life.
Some have had tougher upbringings than others,

with more negative experiences and more
negative beliefs about themselves and the
world, but regardless of the experiences…
There is good news!
Today, as adults, we have a choice over what

beliefs, patterns, and habits we want to keep or
discard… And we have a choice over the
meanings we give our past experiences.
Successful people are aware of how limiting old

beliefs, habits, patterns, and experiences can
be… and they do whatever it takes to change
them!
That doesn’t mean it’s always easy. Overcoming

childhood abuse issues, or deep-rooted self-
confidence issues, or overwhelmingly negative
thought patterns can be a challenge. But
successful people are committed to their own
growth, no matter what.
They know that the past does not equal the

future. They understand that past challenges
can either be dwelled upon for years, or accepted
as necessary life lessons on their path.
Overcoming limiting beliefs and difficult events

from your past is something that EFT Tapping is
especially powerful at helping with, more so
than any other technique I’ve ever seen.
I’ve had the privilege of using Tapping to help

people with some enormous challenges
through our Tapping Solution Foundation:
Veterans with PTSD, children genocide survivors
in Rwanda, first responders of the Sandy Hook
school shooting (my home town), and much
more.
4 – They silence their critical voice
A common misconception is that successful

people don’t have doubts, that they don’t have a
critical voice, that they’re not afraid when they
face tough challenges. Reality couldn’t be
further from the truth.
Successful people face all of these challenges

regularly, and probably more often than
unsuccessful people, because of how much they
challenge themselves.
They just use tremendous courage to never let it

stop them.
The good thing is that courage is a muscle that

can be flexed and developed over time. Every
successful person had to overcome their critical
voice over little things before they moved onto
bigger and bigger things.
Building this muscle starts with having the

courage to address your critical voice, on
anything big or little. Listen to what it has to
say… And then overcome it!
5 – They’re willing to fail, repeatedly…
Successful people see failing as a part of the

learning process. And no matter how much they
fail, they’re never willing to quit.
They also never see failure as defining who they

are. When unsuccessful people fail, they see
themselves as a failure.
Learn to never see yourself as a failure and to see

failure itself as a learning process. Then, you’ll
never do the one thing you’re avoiding… failing.
“How’s that?” you’re thinking.
Because failing implies that the journey is over. If

you see individual failures as a part of a longer
journey of success, then you, in fact, never
actually fail.
Here’s a list of some of the most successful

people ever throughout modern history who
never let individual failures stop them:
Henry Ford – Failed in his early business projects

and was left broke 5 times before he founded
Ford Motor Company.
R. H. Macy – Founder of the Macy’s department

store, R.H. Macy started 7 failed businesses
before finally hitting it big with his store in New
York City.
Walt Disney – Walt Disney was fired by a

newspaper editor because “he lacked
imagination and had no good ideas.” After that,
he started a number of businesses that didn’t
last long and ended with bankruptcy and failure.
Albert Einstein – Einstein didn’t speak until he

was four and didn’t read until he was seven,
which made his teachers and parents think he
was mentally handicapped, slow, and anti-social.
Jerry Seinfeld – The first time he walked on

stage he froze and was jeered and booed off
stage. Do you think he quit after that? Nope. The
very next night he came back and completed his
set to laughter and applause.
I could go on and on with people like this but I

think you get it.
Failure never exists IF you see it as part of a

longer journey of success.
In fact, if you want to hear about how I

personally “failed” my way to success, I
encourage you to watch this free webinar that I
put together just for you!
6 – They do the important things first,

not the easy things
Pretty much every person I talk to or come

across on a daily basis feels that they have too
much going on, that they’re too busy. It seems
to just be a part of this modern lifestyle.
When it comes to our time, and what we do with

it each day, successful people have one
tremendously important trait that makes them
successful…
They do the important things FIRST, not the

easy things.
If you wait until you have more time to do the

important things, you’ll run out of time and it
will never get done. It’s why people don’t
exercise, or write that book, or start that
business.
Successful people prioritize their lives differently.

They know that the important stuff is what will
get them to where they want to be. They do the
big tasks on projects at the beginning of the day,
and they leave the emails to later in the day.
If you want to be more successful, learn how to

do the tasks that matter first.
7 – They get clear on what they want and

who they want to be, and then take daily
action to get there
Successful people know that there is

tremendous power in clarity.
They get clear on what they want to achieve and

who they want to be in life, and they take
consistent daily action to get there.
They never let their current limitations stop

them from seeing a better future.
Unsuccessful people get hung up on their

current situation and current challenges and
never allow themselves to have seemingly
unrealistic futures.
Successful people allow themselves to dream

and then work to get there, even if there isn’t a
clear path to achieving what they want.
They also see themselves not just as they are

now, but better than they are now! They hold
a vision for themselves of how they can grow
into being more successful, happier, more giving
people.
If you struggle to dream big or find yourself

finding reasons for why your dreams can’t come
true, don’t worry. Together, we’ll work to
eliminate the mental blocks that are keeping you
from building an empowering future.
Getting Started
One of the best ways to get started is by reading

or listening to the stories of others, to
understand how they adopted the 7 steps
described above into their own lives. That’s why I
want to present to you TWO great resources
that I’ve put together to start you on your
journey. I hope you enjoy them!
