The Financial Post’s Business Insider recently published an insightful list of how successful people think differently than everyone else. Here are the 9 differentiating factors:

• Instead of leaving unproductive policies in place, they change them.
• Instead of just having a job, they have a craft.
• Instead of trying to change everything about a company, they focus on one important factor that ripples out.
• Instead of trying to come up with something completely original, they borrow from the best.
• Instead of following a schedule, they stick to an agenda.
• Instead of accepting the standard definition of success, they reframe it for themselves.
• Instead of letting big-picture thinking happen on its own, they schedule it.
• Instead of adhering to industry tradition, they change the industry.
• Instead of looking for the right answer, they try to find the right question.
