What do Elon musk, Christiano Ronaldo and Grant Cardone all have in common?
Elon Musk, Christiano Ronaldo and Grant Cardone all have one thing in common. What is it?
If you guessed that they all had a great vision of where they wanted to go and how they were going to get there, then you are correct!
However, there are many other characteristics that these highly successful individuals share that contribute to their success. There's no secret sauce or magic formula for becoming a great leader or entrepreneur, but there are some common traits among those who succeed:
Great vision
Vision is the ability to see the future. It’s the ability to see what others can’t see and what they don’t want to see. Visionary people can see what others don’t know they need.
Vision is a key component of success for anyone who wants to achieve great things in life, whether it's Elon Musk, Christiano Ronaldo or Grant Cardone (he's a motivational speaker). For example, let's say you have an idea for a product that could change your life forever—like Tesla did back in 2008 with its first car: the Roadster sports car. But without vision, no one would ever have heard about this new company before because there were no resources available at that time like there are today where you can just Google something and find out almost anything about anybody or anything within seconds!
Work Ethic
Work ethic is a combination of hard work and passion. It’s the foundation for success, overcoming challenges and being a leader. The greatest leaders in history all had an incredible work ethic. Elon Musk was working 80 hours a week in college, even during finals week!
You have to be willing to put in the time and effort that it takes to achieve your goals—even when it seems like it will never happen.
You probably know someone who has been extremely successful but doesn’t seem like they put much effort into getting there or they don’t seem like they enjoy what they do every day. It's because they just don't have a good enough work ethic!
Hard-working
The most successful people in the world have all been hard workers. The key to success is not something magical or elusive. It's a habit, a skill and even a discipline that anyone can learn.
Hard work isn't just about getting up early and working late; it's about making every second of your life count for something productive and meaningful. You don't get rich by sitting at home watching TV all day! To be successful you need to engage in activities that will make you money so that one day you can enjoy your wealth without having to worry about going broke again.
Disciplined
Discipline is the ability to control yourself, even when you don't want to. It's about making choices and sticking with them, even when it would be easier to give up or quit. Discipline isn't about being perfect, it's about being consistent.
One of my favorite examples of self-discipline comes from Elon Musk: “I think everyone should eventually go through a hard time just for the experience… It will strengthen you in ways you can never imagine."
Passionate
Passionate people don't let fear of failure, criticism, or taking a risk stop them from reaching their goals. They're willing to try new things and take on challenges even if it means failing once in a while.
You don't need to be an athlete or entrepreneur like Elon Musk or Grant Cardone to have passion for what you do. You just need to find something that brings you joy, keeps you challenged and makes you feel alive!
Driven to Succeed
The three men mentioned above are all driven to succeed. They are each so successful because they have a vision for what they want to achieve and they work hard towards it.
Musk has a vision for the future of humanity, which is why he's so passionate about space exploration. Ronaldo is an athlete who has won many championships and Cardone is an entrepreneur with multiple streams of income.
Self-Awareness
Self-awareness is knowing your strengths and weaknesses. It’s knowing your values and beliefs. It’s knowing what you want to achieve in life, as well as understanding how you can work with others to make that happen.
Self-awareness also involves an understanding of your values, beliefs, personality traits and behavior patterns. To be self-aware means being comfortable with yourself – knowing who you really are on the inside; what makes you tick; what motivates or drives you forward in life; why some things are important to someone else but not necessarily to yourself; how others perceive us based on their own experiences (and vice versa).
So what’s the secret sauce? It’s not just one thing, but a combination of many things. And it's not as simple as having great talent and working hard—that seems to be true for many people who don't succeed.
Success is something that happens to you, not something you can force or create on your own. Successful people find ways to attract opportunities and then make them work for them in some way or another.
The secret sauce in becoming highly successful is unique for each person…
When you look at these three very different people, Elon Musk, Cristiano Ronaldo and Grant Cardone, you can see that they all have something in common when it comes to success. No matter who you are or what your goals may be, there are certain traits that will help you reach them. These include a work ethic and self-discipline but also passion and drive which enable us to persevere through the highs and lows of life.
