Summary from a longer article titled “30 Behaviors That Will Make You Unstoppable” by Benjamin P. Hardy. Please CLICK HERE for the full story
"A lot of people are good at what they do. Some are even elite. A select few are completely unstoppable….
"1. DON’T THINK — KNOW AND ACT. “Don’t think. You already know what you have to do, and you know how to do it. What’s stopping you?” — Tim Grover…
"2. ALWAYS BE PREPARED so you have the freedom to act on instinct...While everyone else is relaxing, you’re practicing and perfecting...
"3. DON’T BE MOTIVATED BY MONEY OR ANYTHING EXTERNAL… You’re still going to be pushing your personal limits and giving it your all...
"4. NEVER BE SATISFIED… For you, it’s not even about the goal. It’s about the climb to see how far you can push yourself.
"5. ALWAYS BE IN CONTROL… you are in control of what you put in your body, how you spend your time and how long you stay in the zone.
"6. BE TRUE TO YOURSELF… Have the self-respect and confidence to live life on your terms. When something isn’t right in your life, change it. Immediately...
"7. NEVER LET OFF THE PRESSURE. “Pressure can bust pipes, but it also can make diamonds.” — Robert Horry...
"8. DON’T BE AFRAID OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE… If something goes wrong — if you “fail” — you adjust and keep going….
"9. DON’T COMPETE WITH OTHERS. Make them compete with you… Competing with others makes absolutely zero sense to you. It pulls you from your authentic zone….
"10. NEVER STOP LEARNING… Your unparalleled preparation is what gives you power. No one else is willing to pay the price you’ve paid.
"11. SUCCESS ISN’T ENOUGH — IT ONLY INCREASES THE PRESSURE… Immediately following the achievement of a goal, you’re focused on your next challenge.
"12. DON’T GET CRUSHED BY SUCCESS… It’s not about this achievement, but the one after, and the one after that...
"13. COMPLETELY OWN IT WHEN YOU SCREW UP… as the leader, you own it when your team fails. Only with extreme ownership can you have complete freedom and control.
"14. LET YOUR WORK SPEAK FOR ITSELF… “deep work” is rare. It’s done by people who are focused and working while everyone else is talking. Deep work is so good it can’t be ignored.
"15. ALWAYS WORK ON YOUR MENTAL STRENGTH… Wherever your mind goes, your body follows. Wherever your thoughts go, your life follows.
"16. CONFIDENCE IS YOUR GREATEST ASSET… When you’re confident, you don’t care how many times you fail, you’re going to succeed. And it doesn’t matter how stacked the odds seem against you.
"17. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE WHO REMIND YOU OF THE FUTURE, NOT THE PAST… expectations of those around you in large measure determines how well you perform.

"19. HAVE CLEAR GOALS… According to loads of psychology research, the most motivating goals are clearly defined and time-bound. Your goals can either be focused on your behaviors… or on the outcomes you’re seeking...
"20. RESPOND IMMEDIATELY, rather than analyzing or stalling… Just do it. Train yourself to respond immediately when you feel you should do something...
"21. CHOOSE SIMPLICITY OVER COMPLICATION. “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” — Albert Einstein
"22. NEVER BE JEALOUS or envious of someone else’s accomplishments. Being unstoppable means you genuinely want what’s best for everyone — even those you would consider your competitors. Jealousy and envy are the ego — which operates out of fear...
"23. TAKE THE SHOT EVERY TIME. “If I fail more than you, I win.” — Seth Godin. The only way you can become unstoppable is if you stop thinking about it.Just take the shot...
"24. DON’T GET CAUGHT UP IN THE RESULTS OF YOUR SUCCESS. Always remain focused on what got you those results: the work….Keep practicing. Perfect your craft...
"25. THINK AND ACT 10X (i.e., operating at activity levels far beyond the normal). “When 10X is your measuring stick, you immediately see how you can bypass what everyone else is doing.” — Dan Sullivan...
"26. SET GOALS THAT FAR EXCEED YOUR CURRENT CAPABILITIES… If your goals are logical, they won’t force you to create luck. Being unstoppable means your goals challenge you to be someone more than you currently are...
"27. MAKE TIME FOR RECOVERY AND REJUVENATION… When you focus on results, rather than being busy, you’re 100 percent on when you’re working and 100 percent off when you’re not. This not only allows you to be present in the moment, but it allows you the needed time to rest and recover.
"28. START BEFORE YOU’RE READY… Most people wait… They wait until they feel “secure.” Not people who are unstoppable...
"29. IF YOU NEED PERMISSION, YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN’T DO IT… No one will ever give you permission to live your dreams.
"30. DON’T MAKE EXCEPTIONS… The exception so many times becomes the rule."
