I am completely stoked to attend Sage Summit 2016 in Chicago at the end of July this year.

You might remember my excitement last year when I attended the annual small business conference last year in New Orleans. It was an out-of-this-world experience, and I’m tickled to be going again this year.

This year’s lineup of speakers is stellar: Sir Richard Branson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Zooey Deschanel, Ashton Kutcher, Dragon’s Den’s Robert Herjavec and his Shark Tank colleague, Daymond John, as well as Kickstarter founder Yancey Strickler.

Recently, in honour of the amazing lineup of speakers, Sage put together a series of quotes to inspire you to be more productive, a better business person. It’s a fantastic and inspiring read.

But it got me to thinking. What is it that makes those guys so successful? Certainly, there is a modicum of luck or magic. But there are other things, too. Whipsmart instincts, listening to your gut. Working smarter, not harder. And sometimes just harder.

That’s where today’s infographic comes in. What are some traits or habits that really successful people share?

Hope you can join me in July at Sage Summit!
