Many of us want success, but how many of us really know what we mean when we say it? The expensive cars, the safe full of jewelry and the massive homes on every continent are only fruits of success, not success itself. Rather, Success is the realization and accomplishment of worthy goals. You need a strong enough reason to push you to success because your passion, persistence and drive is what will get you through the obstacles, challenges and hurdles that you will surely confront along the way. We can have all the best intentions, but your real power and success will come from consistent action taken daily against the documented goals that you have set for yourself.
Many of us want success, but how many of us really know what we mean when we say it? The expensive cars, the safe full of jewelry and the massive homes on every continent are only fruits of success, not success itself.
Rather, Success is the realization and accomplishment of worthy goals.
Once again, I ask what does Success look like to you? In your minds eye how are you acting, being and dressing in the midst of your success? He says, “People with goals succeed because they know where they are going … It’s as simple as that.”.
Now that I have rattled off all these questions and gotten your brain going a mile a minute wondering “Will I ever find success?” I’ve taken the liberty to outline six steps that will help you identify what success looks like for you.
Six steps for identifying What Success Looks Like for You:
Identify your purpose. We are all here for a reason, to serve some purpose.
You need a strong enough reason to push you to success because your passion, drive and persistence is what will get you through the obstacles, challenges and hurdles that you will surely confront along the way. Experts say, 80% of Success is WHY and 20% is HOW.
Document your Vision! Remember a goal that is not written down is a wish!
Contemplate yourself as having, being and doing exactly what you want to have, do and be. Make a mental blueprint of your success. See it!
Someone who is already successful doing that thing that you want to do. Studying how they achieved their success will help to accelerate yours.
We can have all the best intentions, but your real power and success will come from consistent action taken daily against the documented goals that you have set for yourself. Whereas a “so what who cares” idea and an inadequate business plan often produces success when accompanied by sufficient action.
Okay, so there, now that you have the necessary tools to start you on the path to success, I urge you to get started immediately. Don’t let 2005 rolls in without having developed your plans for success.
” Do not wait; the time will never be ‘just right’. Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.”
