You've probably seen a myriad of magazine articles and books that attempt to isolate "x" number of personal traits of the "successful entrepreneur" or "millionaire" or whatever.
The thing is, you probably know a successful person or two yourself. And I wonder: Have you observed any personal traits that person has that you feel might have been a significant factor in their success?
It's been my observation that one of the traits of the successful person --- which, as I define it, means someone who is accomplishing or has accomplished something they set out to do --- is that they very strongly believe in living up to their word. In business transactions, this translates to "Do whatever it takes to deliver what you promised, or more, when you promised it or earlier."
Have you noticed any particular "success traits" in the successful people you know?
