10 SUCCESS PRINCIPLES
FROM THE WORLD’S MOST
SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE
These principles are the secret weapons of the world’s most successful people. If
you put them into use in your life, you’ll see success!
ALWAYS KEEP MOVING FORWARD. Winston
Churchill said, “Success is not final; failure is not fatal:
It is the courage to continue that counts." The most
successful people in the world are those who keep
1 pushing forward and NEVER let their failures define them.
BE WILLING TO GIVE UP GOOD THINGS TO ACHIEVE
GREAT THINGS. John D. Rockefeller said, “Don't be afraid
to give up the good to go for the great." Building a life
2
you love will require some sacrifice, but ultimately
you’ll create the most rewarding, enjoyable life you
could imagine.
ALWAYS TAKE ACTION. Chris Grosser said,
“Opportunities don't happen. You create them." If you
want to achieve your dream and live your best life, you
3 MUST take action. Great things don’t come to those who
do nothing. Take action on your dream.

RUN HARD AFTER YOUR PASSIONS. Oprah Winfrey
said, "You know you are on the road to success if you
would do your job, and not be paid for it." If you want to
achieve your dreams, it’s crucial to chase your
passions. Money, success, and happiness comes
from chasing passion first. Success follows joy. 4
CHART YOUR OWN UNIQUE PATH. Jim Rohn said,
"If you are not willing to risk the usual, you will have to
settle for the ordinary." The most successful people are
5 those who have charted their own, unique path. Don’t
follow someone else’s dream.
MOVE OUTSIDE YOUR COMFORT ZONE. Michael John
Bobak said, "All progress takes place outside the
comfort zone." If you’re going to achieve your dreams,
6
you’re going to have to push your boundaries and do
things you’ve never done before.
STICK WITH YOUR DREAMS. Steve Jobs said, "If
you really look closely, most overnight successes took
a long time." Success rarely happens immediately. It
7 comes to those who keep pushing, day after day, to
achieve the life they desire.

FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS. Bruce Lee said, "The successful
warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus."
Achieving your dreams requires giving all your focus
and energy to what really matters to you. Cut out
distractions and give your attention to the thing
that matters most. 8
STOP BEING A PEOPLE PLEASER. Herbert Bayard
Swope said, “I cannot give you the formula for
success, but I can give you the formula for failure--It is:
Try to please everybody." The quickest way to ensure
9 failure is by trying to please people. The simple fact is
that if you try to please everyone, you’ll be living someone
else’s dream.
BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAMS. Walt Disney said, "If you
can dream it, you can do it." The only thing keeping you
from success is your own doubts. You can achieve
10
anything if you’re willing to work on it. Don’t listen to
your doubts, listen to your dreams.
Every morning, take 5-10 minutes to review and reflect upon these quotes and
principles.
These ideas may be simple, but they are also profound. Put these to work in your
own life and watch the success appear before you.
