 Aside from the random element of luck, much of what makes some people successful involves the cultivating of certain habits.  Learning what these habits are and how to employ them in your own life could be a worthwhile exercise.

To that end, here are 10 of the most often cited habits of successful people:

1.  Organization - planning, setting goals and priorities.

2.  Relaxation.

3.  Taking Action.  Successful people take that all-important first step.

4.  Personal Care - diet, exercise and hygiene.

5.  Positive Attitude.  

6.  Networking - knowing the value of collaboration and teamwork.

7.  Frugality - learning to be economical.

8.  Rising Early.  

9.  Sharing.  Volunteering in your community does not cost anything but can provide help where it is needed most.

10.  Reading - for pleasure and to gain knowledge or insight.

Most people have habits -- some are positive, some are not.  For those who wish to be successful, cultivating positive habits takes no more effort than developing bad ones.  Plan for success in 2016.
