The Six Attitudes of High Achievers

                                John R. Noe 

1. Make No Small Plans: Plan BIG -

Planning BIG to me is planning ahead of time so that your
plans will be carried out smoothly. I will apply this new
attitude by not limiting myself to having small plans. In
order to be successful in life, we need to show that we
want success. We can do this by planning big, and taking
those actions.
2. High Achievers Do What They Fear - 

What this attitude means to me is that you should do what others think you cannot do or are not capable of doing.  Too often we let fear paralyze us and make us completely still. 

3. High Achievers Are Willing To Prepare -
High achievers understand the need for an organizational plan to prepare each and every day to execute on their vision. High achievement is a process rather than an event. Every big event is a result of little events that were carefully planned along the way. Once you reach your highest goal, you can talk and write about it, savor it as a memory. In the daily experience of preparation, you are a step closer to being a high achiever.
4. High Achievers are willing to risk failure-

If you are not willing to take a risk for the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary. A person who wishes success has to view failure as a healthy inevitable part of their journey. Failure is not the enemy of success. Everyone fails at least once in their lifetimes, and probably many more times. Just because you fail at something doesn't mean you lost forever. 

5. High Achievers are teachable -
Being a teachable person means either you are being taught something, or you are teaching others. High achievers like to learn things raw, no shortcuts or anything of that sort. High achievers continuously pursue new knowledge
anywhere and everywhere, as well as new insights.

6. High Achievers have heart -
 Having heart when you are a high achiever is important because you need some emotion at some point in order to make righteous decisions. The best rewards in life come to those with a heart to persist and the courage to stay away from the pessimistic crowd. Some people are satisfied with "just getting by" or barely reaching a goal, but a determined heart is the heart of a champion. High achievers have a purpose, and have the heart to pursue it when everyone else quits.
