As some average people fight for small and quick fixes, ultra successful people operate differently. They create their own rules and live by them without apology. And you can join them.
Jodie Cook in Forbes Feb 6, 2025, says your path to success means demanding more. Breaking free from patterns that hold you back. Surrounding yourself with excellence. Here’s how ultra successful people protect their standards and time, with ideas for your next moves.
Beyoncé Knowles states her terms. Larry Ellison sets his price. Ultra successful people take “negotiate” out of their vocabulary. They understand their value and expect others to meet it. Nothing less. They don’t chase opportunities or beg for business. They build empires that attract the right people.
Build your worth
Cook goes ahead to advise that build your worth so high that others want to work with you. Create offerings people can’t refuse. Make yourself the obvious choice through excellence and reputation. Start turning down work that doesn’t meet your standards. Fix your prices and stick to them.
Copy this mindset today. Share your intentions with confidence. Say no to low-value projects. Build your brand until you become the prize. Watch what happens when you stop haggling and start owning your worth.
Never waste time
Time equals money, results and progress. Ultra successful people guard their schedule like gold. They don’t queue for coffee, wait around for late friends, or waste hours in traffic. Their time matters more than that. They make moves that protect every minute of their day.
Whenever they feel plan A is being interfered by short rewarding Plan B, they run for Plan A even if it will take a longer time to mature. They have a schedule which they never break. They stick to terms and principles.
