 Nine things really resourceful people do. People who are recognised as being resourceful are those that stand out among their peers. Resourcefulness is a mindset which is important in the pursuit of success. It's especially needed when the goals you have set are difficult to achieve or you can't see a clear path to help you get to where you desire. You see resourceful people are constantly looking for creative ways that they can leverage their current situation for maximum benefit, beyond quick fixes and immediate financial gain. A resourceful mindset helps you find a way and encourages out of the box thinking to be able to achieve your goals. Eventually you'll be able to visualise and figure out all the possible ways to achieve your goals or wishes. But hold on a minute, I'm pretty sure I've asked you before this time what your definition of a resource is. You probably might have mentioned external values like money or high-profiled networks and some of the other things that society has made us believe. However, a resource is more of internalised values. Remember what we said earlier? It is a mindset that involves things like creativity, determination, patience, resilience, persistence and the likes. So being resourceful again isn't about what you have or how much you have, it's how you leverage what you have that makes the difference. In simple terms resourceful people are number one not dependent on the resources they have to reach an outcome. Number two they always figure out a solution regardless of the situation you're in or the circumstances you have to deal with. Number three they have the belief that they can deal with anything that comes their way. And number four they can leverage what they have to achieve great things. So in this video I'll share with you 9 things really resourceful people do. If you're new here consider subscribing so you won't miss other interesting videos like this. Number one they are open-minded. To be able to achieve your goals you must be open to receiving new and differing ideas from yours so that you can embrace an array of possibilities, opportunities, suggestions, thoughts, views and even experiences outside of yours. To be able to push yourself beyond what everyone thinks is possible or achievable means that you are determined to succeed even when every external factor seems to be saying otherwise. For this to happen it means that you have to have an open mind and are willing to try out new ideas that can increase your chances of success. Open-minded people are always willing to step out of their comfort zone and this is one trait of resourceful people that makes them succeed. Number two they are self-assured. If you don't believe in yourself then nothing you do will make sense because you'll only be doing a trial and error work with zero confidence in yourself and abilities. According to Dr. Robert Antony an American organizational theorist and professor you can have anything you want if you are willing to give up the belief that you can't have it. Believing in yourself is the first step to getting things done even when they don't look like it. Thomas Jefferson an American statesman, lawyer and founding father who served as the third president of the United States once said nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal. Believing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude. So know your value, your talent, ability and work ethic. Appreciate yourself for these things and your ability to push yourself to success. Take a look at your past successes and know that if you achieve those in the past you can do much more this time around. Be confident and believe in your abilities to overcome any challenges on your way to achieving your goals. Number three they are proactive. To be proactive means that you are not depending on chances or luck to get what you want or be successful. George Bernard Shaw an Irish playwright, critic and political activist said the people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want and if they can't find them make them. People do not believe in putting their dreams on hold until they find the right set of people or resources. They go after what they want. They create their own resources and networks. They don't allow themselves to be stopped by the circumstances surrounding them or allow it dictate what their actions should be otherwise they'll settle for less. They'll find and create solutions however necessary. Number four they arm themselves with knowledge. Arthur Ashe an American professional tennis player said one important key to success is self-confidence. An important key to self-confidence is preparation. Self-development including learning how to be creative, how to use one's perspective are some of the things resourceful people keep learning. They know that it's the only way to come up with ideas that can help them achieve their seemingly impossible goals. The true potential of a situation isn't always easy to recognise. However, arming yourself more with knowledge helps you find ways to provide more value to people and this in turn places more demand on you and increases your chances of success. Number five they are honest about their weaknesses. Self-denial is one of the killers of growth and success. Resourceful people find out what they are good at doing and what they aren't so that they don't try to do it all in a bid to enjoy some self-glory or pride. They delegate tasks, they handle the things that they know how to do best and as for their weaknesses they allow for the strengths of others to cover up for them. They give themselves time to think. A popularvoltaire of French Enlightenment thinker and writer quote is that no problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking. When you dedicate yourself to critical thinking there's almost no problem you won't be able to solve. According to Stanley Arnold, every problem contains within itself the seeds of its own solution. However, you must be willing to find the solution by taking the time to think critically about it. Number seven they leverage what they have better. Say you know how to speak about 10 different languages. If you don't know how valuable or how much value you can provide to others as a result of your knowledge in these different languages, you might never make the best use of that skill. Resourceful people on the other hand recognize how valuable they are and can use their values to create the opportunities that they desire. Number eight they welcome their problems and challenges. The more problems you solve the more experience you will develop. By doing this also not only will you be improving your problem solving skills but you'll also be shifting your mindset from fearing problems to learning how to embrace them so that you can find solutions to them. Resourceful people always welcome their problems and challenges so that they can find solutions to them. Number nine they are persistent. Resourceful people are persistent. They don't believe in giving up before a problem is solved. Otherwise they haven't succeeded in accomplishing anything. They believe that every note pushes them to the yes that they desire. To achieve what you want you shouldn't have to rely on the resources you have or haven't got. Your ability to become a resourceful person depends on how you use what you already have. It is never about your resource but about your resourcefulness which is your mindset.
