What Succesful People Do

When we set our goals, it's natural to look up to successful people and try to replicate their habits and lifestyles. We tend to believe they must be doing something we aren't.

However, this is backward instead, successful people avoid things we don't avoid. They give up things that most of us don't dare to give up. Success is a lot more about subtraction than addition.

This is why we shouldn't look at a successful person's exact routine and simply imitate their actions. If we look into how they spend every hour, we probably won't find two hours of video games or four hours drinking at the bar with the boys.

Instead of imitating what they do, we would be better off observing all the things they avoid and all the sacrifices they make.
