A faint but discernible dividing
line separates achievers from dreamers. What makes the difference?

Attitude. Achievers have a can-do
attitude that sets them apart from mere dreamers. Achievers are sold out to
success—no matter the obstacles—and they are willing to put forth the effort
and pay the price of success.

Here are 10 tips to reveal your own
can-do attitude:

1. Disown your helplessness. Can-do people aggressively pursue solutions, and, in the
process, uncover creative solutions others never even try to find. Rather than
wallowing in helplessness, can-do leaders search diligently to overcome the
obstacles in front of them.

2. Take the bull by the horns. Can-do people are fearless. They go straight to the source
of their solution. Their very effort commands attention as they wrestle a
problem to the ground with expediency. They don’t wait; they initiate.

3. Enter the no whining zone. Can-do people abstain from complaining. They recognize its
futility and guard their minds and mouths against indulging in this
time-wasting activity.

4. Put on another’s pair of shoes. Can-do people empathize with others. They attempt to see
any predicament from the other person’s perspective in order to make the best
decisions.

5. Nurture Your Passion. Can-do people are immune to burnout. They love what they do
because they’ve learned how to fuel the fire that keeps them moving. The prize
is not given to the person who’s the smartest, nor to the person with the
advantages in resources and position, but to the person with passion.

6. Walk the second mile. Can-do people exceed expectations. While others settle for
an acceptable solution, they aren’t satisfied until they have achieved the
unimagined. They set expectations for themselves higher than what is dictated
by the people or situations around them.

7. Quit stewing and start doing. Can-do people TAKE ACTION. While others are crippled by
worry, fear and anxiety, they have the fortitude to press forward. The perfect
moment when all is safe and assured may never arrive, so why wait for it?

8. Can-do people can adjust to change. They don’t get caught
griping about an unexpected curve in the road. They accept transition with an
optimistic outlook.

9. Follow through to the end. Can-do people not only initiate, they finish. They are
self-starters with the capacity to close the deal.

10. Expect a return as a result of
your commitment. If you make an all-out commitment
with a can-do attitude, expect a return. Passionate commitment is contagious,
and resources follow resolve. Committed leaders will reap rewards and find open
doors as others are drawn to the excitement and energy emanating from them.
