What successful people do?

I came across this article from Tim Sales and told us what he has been doing to make him successful. This is what he has been doing :
First thing I do every morning is read the below items.
These are my Daily Operating Procedures (DOP).
1. Read my goals.
2. Prioritize my “to do” list—based upon my goals.
3.Do my A’s (most important) regardless of the time it takes to complete them.
- I touch tasks one time and complete them.
- I don't let distractions take me off of what I'm doing.
- I make all decisions swiftly. Either:YES – NO – MORE DATA REQUIRED
- I am the CAUSE of my day. I’m the gatekeeper to what enters my mind and
what I think about.
- I choose to put into my mind only those things which will further me to reaching
my goals. I do not get entangled in small games and worthless arguments
that rob my assets of money, time and attention.
Next, I read my goals
Here is an example of what I read (and do) for my business goals:
Concentrate my thoughts for 5 minutes on making $10,000.00 a month.
To achieve it, following this plan:
1. Educating myself daily by
Cultivating my goals daily; Self-training daily 30min-1hour.
Plan it now!
2. Promoting my business daily by
Sending out Direct Mail, buying leads; Outbound calls leaving promotional
messages; Running ads in newspapers and magazines;
Meeting new people (creating new ways to meet people); Dialing the phone.
Plan it now!
3. Being effective by
Connecting with people; Setting appointments; Selling products; Sponsoring
people; Training new people.
==> All expenditures are to get me to $10,000.00 per month. No toys and hobbies.
Buy only assets that build my business.
==> I will attract to myself the business partners that will make my goals a reality
because of my willingness to contribute to others.

Well, you may be skeptical about this, and you may think that you can do anything well by being hardworking. But my advise is to study his schedule carefully, you will realise many other things. For example, the importance of setting goal, the importance to control your emotion and etc...enjoy :-)
