It’s interesting to note that relaxing—by meditating or simply avoiding distractions—is another of the most-often mentioned habits of successful people.
2. Relaxation
3. Taking Action
Third on the list of habits of successful people is the inevitable “action” habit. It is important to organize, to plan, and to set priorities, but without action, a plan is nothing more than potential.
Personal care with regard to diet, exercise, and hygiene comes next on the list of habits of those who are successful.
4. Personal Care

5. Positive Attitude
Successful people know the value of exchanging ideas with others through networking. They also know the value of collaboration and teamwork—all of which are likely when you network.
6. Networking
7. Frugality
Frugal is not the same as stingy. Frugality is a habit of being thrifty, with money and resources. It is also a habit of being economical. Learning to be economical comes through avoiding waste, which automatically results in efficiency.
8. Rising Early
The more time one can devote to being successful, the more likely success will result. Successful people are accustomed to rising early, and that habit repeatedly appears among those who do well in life.
Whether through donating to charity or the sharing of ideas, successful people have a habit of giving. They know the value of sharing and most believe their success should result in something more than the accumulation of wealth for themselves.
9. Sharing
It's important to note that successful people read. While they also read for pleasure, most use their reading habit as a means to gain knowledge or insight.
