Please rate and review my podcast here: https://ratethispodcast.com/eric

Have you ever wondered how incredibly successful people think? Because if you could start thinking in the same way, the sky's the limit. Today I'm going to share a set of principles that underpin the way incredibly successful people think.

Number one, the first thing that underpins the way incredibly successful people think is that they take a long-term view on their success. They are not looking for overnight success. 

The number two principle that underpins how incredibly successful people think is that they think beyond themselves. "How can what I'm doing be of service to others? How might what I'm doing benefit the world?"

The number three thing that underpins how incredibly successful people think is that they take an 80/20 approach to their lives and to their businesses. They don't try to do absolutely everything. Instead, they look for, "What's the 20% of things that I could be doing that could create 80% of the results?

Number four. Incredibly successful people zero in on the 20% of things they could be doing for 80% of the results. And then they think, "How do I break down those goals?" Incredibly successful people always break down their goals into sub-goals.

Number five. Incredibly successful people realize that they can't get there or do whatever it is that they hope to do on their own. They know that they need to surround themselves with wisdom.

Number six. Incredibly successful people take action. They resist the temptation to overanalyze, overthink. And eventually if you take enough action, the results start to appear.

Then number seven, despite everything that I just said there, successful people expect the unexpected. Now, they don't know what that may be, but they expect that something may happen that they haven't planned for.
