15 Rules for Successful Life, According to Experts

Listen to the Podcast:

Many experts have discussed the rules for success that you must adhere to if you want to advance in business, in your career, or even in your personal life. While many of these rules may be unique, there are a few that have been proven to be real keys to achieving your goals without sacrificing your happiness.

According to Harvard University, for instance, you must develop tools such as the ability to plan and control yourself in order to be successful. Bill Gates says that you must find what you are passionate about and fight for it. Jeff Bezos says that you must learn to turn off criticism and external noise in order to hear yourself.

Of course, it’s important to be productive, work hard, fight for your dreams, and take risks, but there are other rules, more of a guide, that experts say are the best way to not only find a mate, but to maintain success over the years and ensure you will not get stuck or have a bad time while attempting them.

As their author states, these rules are applicable to a wide variety of situations, circumstances, and even relationships, because they are based on the idea that you are at the center of your own success, and it is your actions that determine whether you can achieve it or not.

Among the rules, for instance, the importance of knowing how to say yes or no depending on the situation or offer stands out; it is about knowing how to recognize when something is beneficial or detrimental to you, but in both cases, the expert advises that we must commit to our position and remain steadfast, without allowing the pressure and opinions of others to influence our choice.

Also, according to Hayes, happiness is a crucial component of success; therefore, you should protect and pursue it above all else, and you should always be true to your ideals, beliefs, and plans. “Be true to yourself by pursuing your bliss, even if it occasionally requires taking a chance. If you are hesitant to trust your instincts, construct a safety net. However, do not violate what you deem essential,” the expert cautions.
