Achieving success - Making a difference

As part of my job, I meet and interview what most would consider successful people - Regional and Global CEOs.

With time, I begin to ask them questions outside of work and one of the questions I typically ask is, what advice would they give to someone who wants to achieve the success that they have.

As these chats happen socially, I will not be naming them to respect their privacy, but at the same time, I think there are lessons we can all learn from. 

A global CEO of a reinsurance company said:

Having an attitude about finding the right the right place where you can make a difference.

Continuing to think and believe that there is something that you can do to make a difference, and displaying all the enthusiasm to achieve that.

A lot of it simply comes down to that, finding your own way.

There are many ways to achieve success and people measure success in many different ways.

So you really have to find things you believe in and pursue them with all you can.
