Do You Have What It Takes To Be Successful?

We all wonder if we have what it takes to be a success. The good news is yes, you do!

But where do you start, what do you do and how do you get there?

Everyone has been given the skills to be successful; however, not everyone knows

what they are or how to develop those skills. Research has shown that successful

people share certain common traits, skills and characteristics. Here is a partial list:

replace it with a habit of success. Next, read the book Born To Win by Zig Ziglar and
