How to Achieve the Success That Has Eluded You in The Past (part 1)
Most everyone wants a greater degree of success. It could be in business or personally. If the success that you want has eluded you up until now, no worries. Here are the things you need to do to achieve what you want, but haven't been able to yet.
- 1) Decide on what it is that you want. And be clear about it! Just deciding what you want and writing it down will put you in the top 10% of all achievers. This can be the most important thing you ever do.
- 2) Have a plan to accomplish what you want. This will put you in the top 3% of all achievers. Use the S.M.A.R.T. formula as the foundation of your goal setting. If you set goals using the criteria of Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistically high, and Time Bound you will maximize the goal setting and planning process to your advantage both personally and professionally. When your goals are evaluated against S.M.A.R.T. you will see a distinct difference in your ability to accomplish anything that you want.
- 3) Surround yourself with people who can help you. You've heard of it takes a village. It really does. Develop a support system in the form of a board of directors who you meet with quarterly. People who you respect and will give you objective advice on where you are and how to get to where you want. Form or join a mastermind group. Two heads are better than one when it comes to creating a result or problem solving. This is an incredibly powerful tool utilized by some of the most successful people of our time and the past. Get an accountability partner. Knowing that you are reporting to someone provides extra motivation to make sure you get done what you need.
- 4) Take focused action daily towards your goals. Always move forward. Even if it is only an inch, you are still moving towards your goal. And it doesn't matter how big the goal is. One of my earliest goals after college was to be a sales trainer and motivational speaker. I took focused action every day on my own personal development, studying the art of sales, personal achievement, goal setting, human relations, and communication. I knew that to BE a trainer or coach who could lift someone else up that I would have to BECOME a person who was at a higher level than those I was helping. Focused action on a daily basis has helped me achieve my dreams and goals.
- 5) BE positive, don't just think positive. Being positive is a way of being, a way of life not just thinking. Do you have thoughts of doubt that ever creep into your mind? If so you are not positive, yet. This is part of life's journey. Of course if you can't be 100% positive, at least think positive. Your mind can only have one thought at a time in it so it might as well be positive as opposed to negative.
