3 Qualities of Successful People

Achieving success can be tricky for some, but it’s possible when you have three important qualities.

These qualities are like strong foundations that help successful people reach their goals with determination.

Let’s take a closer look at these special qualities that make successful people stand out from others

1. A high level of Responsibility

It’s only when we take complete responsibility for our situation, whether it’s our fault or not, do we then have the power to change it.

In DYB We call this being above the line.

2. Intensely action-oriented

When they have an idea, they take massive action on it right away.

They don’t overanalyze it to death. Literally to the death of the inspiration.

No, they are fast-action first movers!

3. Healthy level of self-esteem

Because they have a high level of responsibility and are intensely action-oriented, they get results, that provide a healthy level is self-esteem.

With a healthy level is self-esteem, they are not offended easily, they have the courage to step out of their comfort zone, and they project warm confidence of trust.

And, you can too.

Doubling your business is easier than most people realize 🙂

About the Author

As many of you know, my journey has been one of grit, grace, and transformation. At 19, I was a high school dropout, single father, and struggling paint contractor in Michigan. I later moved to Florida, where I faced both personal and professional hardships. With nothing left to lose, I turned to prayer—and was blessed with a relentless hunger to learn. I devoured books, attended seminars, and discovered better ways to streamline and grow my business—even through the Great Recession (and yes, I did hit the wife lottery along the way!). In 2014, I published How To Double Your Business and later sold the painting business, launching a new chapter: coaching others to grow their businesses. For the past 10 years, I’ve dedicated myself to helping business owners scale through the DYB System, while also drawing from frameworks like EOS, Scaling Up, and The Four Disciplines of Execution. Yet something was still missing—something more adaptive, integrated, and complete. Then I found Pinnacle. After months of research and interviews with other Guides, I joined Pinnacle. Their tools and strategies have exceeded every expectation. Now, as a Pinnacle Business Guide, I help leadership teams implement a custom-tailored operating system that draws from the best in the industry—but flexes with your unique business. It’s a dynamic, proven approach to achieve clarity, momentum, and lasting growth. I’m no longer taking on any more 1:1 coaching clients… Instead, I now specialize in working with visionary business owners who are ready to get their leadership teams aligned—around a clear vision, a focused strategy, and an actionable execution plan. With the tools and process I now have as a Pinnacle Business Guide, I help turn alignment into momentum, and momentum into results. If your business is growing—but your leadership team isn’t fully rowing in the same direction—let’s talk.
