SESSION II
A PROFILE OF SUCCESS:
THE 10 DOMINANT CHARACTERISTICS
OF A SELF-DISCIPLINED ACHIEVER
OBJECTIVES
At the end of this session you will be able to:
• Describe the ten dominant characteristics of the self-
disciplined achiever.
• Compare your current behavior against the model to establish
areas where you might desire change.
BACKGROUND
People who have achieved their goals become inspirational examples or role
models for others to follow. How they achieved their goals, the strategies,
skills, thinking and behavioral patterns they used become blueprints for
people who want to achieve what the model achieved.
Models of achievement blaze the trail of possibility for us—breaking down the
barriers of impossibility. We think, “If he or she did it, then so can I.”
In this Session, we have identified the 10 dominant characteristics that mark
self-disciplined high achievers. These are the behaviors others learned in
order to accomplish their goals in all areas of life. They are deeply ingrained,
positive acquired characteristics which are the product of continued success.
In developing the model, the criterion we used was excellence in their chosen
field, whether sports, business, entertainment, law, architecture. The
characteristics we note are not specific to any one profession or field of
endeavor.
Once you become familiar with the characteristics of the self-disciplined high
achiever, you’ll be able to adapt your own life to include those positive
values.
