How do you define success? Some will say it's having the love of a good family. Others will say it's making money. And still others might say it's following your passion in life. The truth is, you could ask 100 different people and get 100 different answers. You can, however, find common qualities that successful people share. Here are ten:

1. They are fearless. One of the biggest reasons people don't achieve their goals in life is because they are afraid to take chances. Successful people understand that to get the rewards they want, they sometimes have to take risks.
2. They seek ways to improve. Successful people are always looking for ways to learn more and improve their skills. They may accomplish that by taking courses, reading, or networking with others.
3. They take care of themselves. Successful people understand that exercising and eating healthy will help them feel stronger, healthier, and more motivated.
4. They don't give up. Successful people are persistent and don't let obstacles or setbacks get in the way of achieving their goals.
5. They are confident. Successful people believe in their abilities, skills, and their vision.
6. They surround themselves with accomplished people. Successful people know that they can emulate and learn from others who have achieved success.
7. They plan. Successful people understand that nothing happens by accident. They develop well-thought-out plans and stay focused on achieving them.
8. They work hard. Successful people understand that if they want to reach their goals they have to work for them.
