Gone are the days when to be a CEO you had to be senior in age and experience. In today’s age of startups and entrepreneurship, it is an advantage to be young. But those under 30s who are successful have certain functional and fruitful habits. Whether it is reading voraciously, or simple waking up early to exercise, they all have their secrets on the success path.

Passion

To take the instance of Ritesh Agarwal, founder and CEO of OYO Rooms, he came from a very humble background. Few know that he is actually a school dropout, who even sold sim cards so that his family would not squash his entrepreneurial dreams. A passionate traveller, he realised that budget accommodation is a problem for many young travellers in India, and thus, founded OYO.

Expect the unexpected

You have to be flexible and alert to opportunities. Lisa Besserman, founder of Startup Buenos Aries suggests that one of the best habits for entrepreneurial success is embracing the unexpected and being flexible in times of uncertainty. She would have to extend business trips or fly across continents at a moment’s notice, but she adapted to these changes.

Act on opportunities

It is important to utilise opportunities when they come by, without waiting for permission. Kerhyl Gantt, the brand manager at Nike, often found himself in positions where he was the sole person to take responsible decisions. Instead of fearing his limits, he would take the opportunity, and prove his calibre.

Staying calm

It is important to cool off under pressure situations. This one habit has taken Nisha Chittal very far. Manager of social media and community at MSNBC, she works under immense pressure of a live news room, but the 27 year old has stood out due to her passion for the work, desire to understand what makes an audience engage, and her love for the content being produced.

Make time for friends

Though it is assumed that most under 30 Achievers must be superbly busy working hard on their projects, they also take time to cool off and spend time with friends. Mitali Rakhit, founder of Globelist, suggests that her friends keep her grounded, and often act a sound board for her ideas with their honest opinions.

These crucial habits of under 30 achievers have helped them achieve their dreams.
