1. The person predisposition to achievement.

2. Probability of success.

It is not always about the money.High Achievers and Money has a complex relation.-They value their services highly and place a high price tag on them.-They seem to be more concerned about the personal achievement than reward for success.

-They do not reject rewards but the rewards are not essential as the accomplishment itself.-They get a bigger “kick” out of solving a difficult problem than they get from any money or praise.-High Achievers values money as symbol of their achievement and adequacy.

Conclusion:

“The achiever is only the individual who is truly alive.”

- George Allen Quotes.
