Habits Of The Most Successful Women

May 16, 2016

Want to know what makes a woman successful?  These 11 habits are just the starting point, but are key to being in a group of the most successful women.

 

What is your definition of success?  For me, it’s having a happy marriage and family, being healthy and continuing to grow as a person.  Success may look different for you.  But all successful women have a few things in common, and the most successful women have some distinct habits that set them apart from the rest.

I’ve been fortunate enough to surround myself with some very successful women in my life. Executives, business owners, stay at home moms; all are successful because of these 11 habits.  

They get up early.
Successful women know the key to a productive day is starting off on the right foot, and that includes getting up early.  “The early bird gets the worm” is a well known saying for a reason.  Most, not all, of us are more productive in the mornings.  Avoid hitting the snooze button and try one of these morning rituals to start your day off right.  

They make time for themselves.
Self-care is something a lot of women, especially moms, neglect.  But we shouldn’t!  Taking time for yourself is so important for our mind, body and spirit.  Take time to recharge and shower yourself with care often.  Take a day off work and do something for YOU.  Get a massage, go for a long walk, read a book or magazine, spend time with a friend and end that day with a nice glass of wine.  You’ll be more inspired, happier and ready for the next challenge.  

They never stop learning.
You will never know everything.  Plain and simple.  But you can always take time to learn more. Learning helps you grow as a person and successful women know that knowledge is power. For some it’s attending conferences and workshops, for me it’s reading.  These inspirational books have broadened my knowledge and inspired me to want to be better, and to never stop learning.

They set goals.
Goal setting = success. A goal without a plan is just a wish and a dream.  Successful women set goals for themselves, put action plans in place and evaluates her success in achieving their goals; then they sets more goals.  If you aren’t familiar with goal setting or need some inspiration, check out this post.

They write things down.
One thing I learned while working in corporate America: the most successful women write things down.  They carry a little notebook with them and make note of important things they need to remember.  We are all very busy people with a lot on our plates.  Writing important things down will ensure you remember actions that you need to take and don’t accidentally forget something.

They are financially savvy.
Successful women are also well versed in how to manage their finances.  They know that you can’t live a champagne life on a beer budget.  Being financially smart doesn’t mean you need a six or seven-figure salary to have a good life, but to know how to manage a budget and not spend beyond your means is key.

They make health a priority.
Health is so much more than just exercise and eating well.  It’s taking care of your entire well being. Successful women make health a priority.

They surround themselves with the right people.
You are who you associate with.  Surround yourself with people who inspire you, are positive and motivating and chances are you will be inspired, positive and motivated.  But surround yourself with negative people and people who are lazy, and it’s likely that they will rub off on you as well; and not in a good way.

They focus on one thing at a time.
Multi-tasking isn’t a good thing.  Did you know that?  We used to think it was; I know I did.  The most successful women focus on one thing at a time, not 15 things.  They know that results are important and trying to do 5 things at once will usually end up with with 

They are a BOSS, but not bossy.
It’s the golden rule.  If you want someone to treat you with respect, you need to be willing to give respect.  Successful women focus on being a good leader and act in servitude to others.  

They make family a priority.
No matter what, at the end of the day a successful woman knows that family is what is most important in life.  Jobs come and go, but family is constant.  They nurture that relationship and make sure it’s always number one.  

I’ve been fortunate enough to surround myself with some very successful women in my life.

    I’m totally going to quote you on this: “They know that you can’t live a champagne life on a beer budget.” 🙂 Love it!

    These are amazing!! I love that you said they get up early and make time for themselves – those are two very important things to do! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston

    “The early bird gets the worm” is something that I’m even telling my kids, when they wake up to find that someone has already finished off the orange juice. Not only is your list great for women but also for us to be teaching our kids as well. 🙂

    Good to know I’m on the right track to be successful 🙂 Need to work on not multitasking so much….

  5. Paige Allison (@anuncomplife) says: May 16, 2016 at 12:02 pm

    Love this list! Especially true about the multitasking. Nothing gets done well when it’s via multitasking! I learned that a while ago – if you’re going to answer emails, only answer emails. No other tabs open, don’t look at your phone. Just hunker down and do one thing WELL at a time!

    I’m so glad I do a lot of the things on this list especially making time for myself, I think that is so important!

  7. Jaelan says: May 16, 2016 at 2:27 pm

    Absolutely. Also – there are so many ways to measure success. I think a lot of people get caught up in one definition of success and that’s why they “fail”.

    Love that you added getting up early – that’s one of my favorite things.

    I needed to read this today. Such a good post and inspiring for a Monday <3 x

  9. Lindsay Katherine says: May 17, 2016 at 4:49 am

    Love this post, Tiffany! I love that making family a priority is on this list. I feel like people think that for a woman to be successful, that means she is 100% career-minded, and I do not agree with that!

  10. All Things Big and Small Blog says: May 18, 2016 at 6:59 am

    These are Such good tips and you are right–successful women all have these habits! I think women so often fall into martyr syndrome and don’t take the time they need for themselves. It is so important! And yes, waking up early is a game changer! I am still working on getting up before the kids and working out!

    Ok Tiffany, I commit this to heart????????????
    Hope you are well…
    Blessings to you

    I like write things down and set goals, both weak spots for me but strengths for daughter. Great tips.

  13. Celebrating Sunshine says: May 19, 2016 at 1:54 pm

    I love everything about habits and I love all your tips. Writing things down keeps me organized and allows me to focus on what I have to do next. Great post! 🙂
