It strikes me how often people view goal achievement as a matter of sheer luck or innate talent. The idea that some people are just born winners while others are destined to struggle.
In my observance, I’ve seen a different story unfold. It’s not about being born under a lucky star or being gifted with extraordinary abilities. It’s about certain practices, habits if you’d call them, that these consistent achievers have cultivated.
I’ve taken note of these habits over the years and distilled them into eight unique practices. Let’s delve into these habits often found in individuals who consistently achieve their goals.
1) Action over procrastination
People often mistake busyness for productivity. They feel that constant thinking and planning equates to progress. However, those who consistently achieve their goals understand the stark difference.
It’s not about the number of hours spent pondering on a goal or the intricacy of the plan. It’s about taking action—moving from thought to deed. This is where the magic happens, where dreams leave the confines of your mind and manifest in the tangible world.
When I started aligning my actions with my goals, it brought about an unparalleled clarity. It was no longer about hypothetical situations or potential outcomes; it was now about real experiences, lessons learned, and milestones achieved.
Don’t wait for the perfect plan or the right moment. Embrace action over procrastination. Your journey towards your goals begins with a single step. So take that step now.
2) Embracing failure as a stepping stone
It’s a common misconception that successful people never encounter failure. On the contrary, those who consistently achieve their goals often have a long list of failures. But rather than seeing these as setbacks, they view failure as an opportunity for growth and learning.
I’ve experienced my fair share of setbacks and failures. But instead of allowing them to discourage me, I chose to see them as feedback, invitations to adapt and evolve. Each failure was a chance for me to learn and improve.
A study analyzing data from various domains found that individuals who eventually succeed often experience distinct failure dynamics, using each setback as a stepping stone toward ultimate success.
Remember, no successful person has ever made it to where they are without facing failures. As Thomas Edison famously said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Embrace failure as part of your journey towards your goals.
3) Transcending limiting beliefs
Every goal achiever understands one truth: The battle is often within, not without. Our biggest obstacle is not the world around us, but our own limiting beliefs and societal conditioning that hold us back.
That’s why I deeply value the “Free Your Mind” masterclass with Rudá Iandê.

4) Authenticity over conformity
In a world that often rewards conformity, it’s easy to lose sight of our authentic selves. But those who consistently achieve their goals understand the importance of staying true to their inner selves, even when it goes against societal norms or expectations.
This kind of authenticity requires courage. It’s about being honest with yourself about what you truly want, not what others expect of you. It’s about honoring your unique path and embracing your individuality.
When I started living authentically, I found that my goals aligned more closely with my true desires. It wasn’t always easy, and it often meant challenging societal norms, but it was worth it.
How about you? Are you ready to embrace your authenticity over conformity? Are you willing to honor your unique path and stay true to yourself on your journey towards achieving your goals?
5) Cooperation over competition
In a world that often prioritizes competition and individual success, it’s easy to fall into the trap of believing that we must always be the best, the fastest, or the smartest to achieve our goals. However, those who consistently achieve their goals understand the power of cooperation.
It’s through our connections with others that we find the courage to pursue our dreams, the resilience to overcome challenges, and the joy of shared experiences. It’s not about outdoing others, but about collaborating with them towards shared success.
I’ve found that when I cultivate relationships based on mutual respect and empathy, I am more capable of creating the lives and the world I desire. The power of cooperation is not to be underestimated.
A comprehensive review of 122 studies found that cooperative efforts result in higher achievement and productivity compared to competitive or individualistic efforts.
None of us can thrive alone. Embrace cooperation over competition, and see your goals come closer within reach. We rise by lifting others.
6) Living aligned with personal values
In a world that often places importance on external success, it’s tempting to get carried away and lose touch with our personal values. Those who consistently achieve their goals understand the importance of aligning their lives with their deepest values.
Living in line with personal values brings a sense of purpose and authenticity. It’s about making choices that reflect what truly matters to you, not what society or others deem important. For me, this has meant using money as a tool for positive change, investing in businesses that promote social good, and being a conscious consumer.
Prosperity is not about accumulating wealth but about aligning your financial decisions with your deepest values. True success comes from within, from living a life that reflects your true self and values.
7) Proactive participation in the economy
Many people believe that financial choices are merely personal decisions without broader impact. However, those who consistently achieve their goals see every financial choice as a vote for the kind of world they want to live in.
Being a conscious consumer and investor means recognizing the impact of our choices. It’s about directing resources towards businesses and initiatives that promote social good and contribute to a more just and sustainable future. This is how I strive to make a difference.
A 2023 study published in Sustainability found that consumers who prioritize sustainability in their purchasing decisions significantly influence market trends, encouraging companies to adopt more ethical and eco-friendly practices.
Your individual financial choices are powerful. They have a ripple effect on the economy and can contribute to a world where shared prosperity is prioritized.
8) Embracing the transformative power of self-awareness
People often avoid confronting their fears or challenging their limiting beliefs. However, those who consistently achieve their goals understand the transformative power of self-awareness and personal growth.
Confronting our fears, challenging limiting beliefs, and cultivating self-compassion makes us more capable of creating the lives we desire. For me, this has meant doing the inner work necessary to grow and evolve.
Every challenge contains within it the seeds of creative possibility. By doing the inner work, we can tap into our potential and bring us closer to achieving our goals.
