Everyone has people in their life who have influenced their journey and their success. Whether it’s parents, teachers or mentors—they motivate you to keep pushing forward and achieve your dreams.
While influential people are all different on an individual level, they share a few common traits that help make them so inspirational. We asked the members of the Young Entrepreneur Council about the most influential people in their life and what characteristics set them apart.
Here’s what they’ve looked for and identified in their role models:
1. They aim to help others succeed.
Oftentimes, we think influential individuals are the people we gravitate to, but it’s actually the opposite. Truly influential people train, empower, and create businesses and organizations that can operate and run without them—they put others in an opportunity to succeed, and help gravitate energy out instead of toward themselves. —Jason Khoo, Zupo
2. They are charismatic.
The most influential people have mastered the art of charisma. They light up the room and automatically command respect from people the moment they walk in. One thing that sets them apart is their tendency to not follow the conventional norms, which can be seen in their body language, tonality and presence. —Kelly Richardson, Infobrandz
3. They are world-class communicators.
While styles and methods may differ, those able to master the arts of mass communication and personal persuasion are the most influential individuals in society. The more effectively you can drive your messaging, the more successful you will be in influencing others. —Adam Mendler, The Veloz Group
4. They are boldly confident.
The people I admire most are the ones who take bold steps in achieving what the vast majority of the world thinks is unattainable. Nobody believed Elon Musk could start a car company as a viable option in reducing carbon emissions in our environment, but he was able to succeed in spite of all the competition in the auto industry because of his unwavering confidence in himself. —Jacob Tanur, Click Play Films
5. They positively contribute to the world.
The most influential people I know have done something that truly contributes to the world and solves a very specific problem. They have added undeniable value through their work and contributions. —Rachel Beider, PRESS Modern Massage
