Success is one of the most relatively argued terms. While different individuals may have varying views about it, they’re all never far from the truth.
For some, success is raising a happy family, eating three square meals a day, or spending time with the kids, no matter what your income or financial status is.
To others, success is sticking to your goals, pursuing your dreams, and becoming a millionaire or even a billionaire in the process.
A large percentage of people in the first category ended up paying attention to the simpler things of life after a long series of disappointments. Their misfortunes caused them to settle for less and to stop dreaming. This unfortunate situation then places them running in endless circles inside the rat race.
To the second sect of people, they pursue their dreams no matter what. A large percentage of them are not yet rich, but their minds are. And this knowledge keeps them dreaming and working towards a great tomorrow that’s yet to come their way or already has.
While it’s important to aspire for great achievements, many factors must not only just be considered, but crucial success habits must also be developed.
These habits unconsciously run into hundreds or thousands. But amongst them, is an important one that can make or mar the efforts of anyone hoping to achieve anything worthwhile, and that is mastering the ability to “stick to your commitments”.

Why Is This A Problem?
No one likes or respects an individual who never sticks to their words, even worse, successful people try to avoid having any form of business relationships with people who are known to be all about more talk and less work.
A reputation of disappointment can and will destroy your image in the public view.
Asides having people respect you for your ability to follow through on your commitments, your dreams and goals will never be achieved if you spend more time talking about them than working towards them.
Just as new year resolutions are hardly ever stuck to, many people find it difficult to stick to their financial, business, and personal obligations. And that’s far more deadly than breaking all your new year resolutions.
How Then Can This Be Fixed?
One thing you could do is to make a list of everything you intend to achieve the next day, the night before. Then ensure you stick largely to the routine, with slight variations. Also stay far away from social media, because they’re the most powerful time-wasters.
Paying attention in a distracted world is the new competitive advantage. And if you can focus and follow through on your commitments regardless of the distractions or mood-swings you experience, you’ll find it a lot easier to succeed in most of your endeavours.
Sticking to your commitments is one millionaire habit you must hone to perfection if you plan to ever become a truly successful person in your business or personal life.
