Are You a WINNER or a LOSER?

Katie Scheer / Nov 17, 2015 10:00:00 AM

I am competitive and hate to lose- personally, professionally, and athletically.  "Losing" doesn't necessarily mean that I lost; instead, it might mean that I defeated myself because I didn't try hard enough, dwelled too much on mistakes, and more.  When I don't "win," I learn from my mistakes, pick up the pieces, and create the game plan for how to do things different next time.  I have found that this is the only way to be successful.  I literally stumbled upon a terrific article that lists 33 characteristics that separate winners from losers, and understanding these differences is paramount as we all attempt to achieve success in life.  We all want to be WINNERS.  Where do you truly fall?

Vincent with HealthMoneySuccess and author of Unleash Your Maximum Potential created the below list.
