Success does not come by accident
Success does not come by accident. You cannot buy, inherit or marry into it. Success is the progressive realisation of worthwhil pre-determined goals.
Thats great news, it means that anyone from anywhere can achieve amazing things, if only they decided to achieve, and to also decide the things they want to achieve. Sounds simple hey, well its true. If you start the process of deciding what you want to achieve, and then give it time and work towards your goals they will come true. However don't think that it will happen instantly or that it will be easy. Nothing in this life comes easy and things happen along the way that challenge us. All we need to do is stay on course, and some amazing things can happen.
When you understand and believe in the power of goal setting, its amazing, what actually can happen. The journey life can start to take you on, and the benefits that are so much more than financial. You get to meet some outstanding people, and your "circle" of friends, can change dramatically. People whom you would never ever even think about becoming friends with simply pop out of the wood work, and become very good friends of yourself. At the same time, some of the old friends and yourself seem to drift apart, as you become more inclined with reaching your goals. This I guess is only natural as we do this in life anyway.
At first, I consider goal setting and the power of dreams to be a load of rubbish. However the more I read into this subject the more it made sense. Why is it that some people live a life full of everything they want and more, whilst some people struggle to get by ????? I truley believe that one of the big difference's is, dreams and goals.
Deciding what you want and going for it is the key. Let no one hold you back, and never ever stop until you reach the point that you have what you want. At this point you will naturally decide upon new goals, and then you will start again.
An old saying says those with goals plan to succeed, thos without goals plan to fail. And this is so true. Its scary to see some people in life with no goals dreams or ambitions. Its awful to see people who simply chose to accept what they are told.
So what are goals ?? Well when setting goals, most people tend to set short term, medium term and long term goals. Short term one's are small goals, that can be achived in a short period of time, and provide some kind of immediate benefit. Medium goals are a bit further away, and will bring bigger rewards. Long term goals are the really far off dreams you have, the big house the nice car etc.
When you set your long term goal, you may not always have any idea, how you will achieve it. However this is where the power of the human brain and the universe kick in. By setting this goal, you are affirming it in your mind. If you remind yourself of your goals on a regular basis, it programmes the brain, to find ways of helping you achieve these goals.
Now you may be thinking what a load of tripe, however let me tell you. That its starting to work for me 100%. Coming from a background where no one went to uni, this was one of my goals, which I am pleased to say I have achieved. Then I wanted to find myself a good career, with good prospects, great people, and nice benefits. Once again this I think (because I am just starting out in my career) I think I have found. And two more, I have always wanted to be succesful in my MLM company. This is starting to happen already with two stories published about me in the company newsletter in 2008, as well as numerous stoires on elottery TV. This like the career is an ongoing goal, there is a lot more people, I have to help in elottery, and a long way yet to go in my career.
Another long goal of mine is to be a publised author. A goal set by many people, I know, but unlike most of them, I am determined for this to happen. My first book is nearly written, and then its time to send it to publishing companies so they can fight over who gets to publish me !!
So as the money is slowely starting to drip in from elottery, and as the career is starting to progress, what has been the best thing so far??? Well its the amazing people I have met, the successful ones, and the people like me, who are determined to get the same level of success in our lifes. In the last two years, I have met many millionaires who have become my mentors, as well as many people in my shoes. Its amazing some of the things, you can find out if you just ask.
OKay so I have mentioned goal setting as one of the most important things of being successfu, so what else is there that plays an important part in this ?
Well goal setting means that people have a clear idea of what they want. This is massive to realise, you need to know what you want in order to be able to get it.
“Knowledge will not attract money unless it is organised and intelligently directed through practical plans of action to the definite end of accumulation of money.” Napoleon Hill Think and Grow Rich
Never Give up Ever
Next, never give up. Successful people never ever stop. As mentioned early, you will get knock backs, people will laugh at your goals, some ideas wont work. It will be hard work, all of these things need to be overcome in order for you to achieve whatever it is you want. Remember in months or years to come when you achieve what you want people wont be laughing then. So let no one get in your way, and let no ones thoughts pollute your mind, from stopping you. Quitters never win, and Winners never Quit.
Have Passion in what you do
This is important that you believe in what you do, and know why you are doing. You see the amazing thing with passion and enthusiam, is that it rubs off on other people. When people see the power of the passion you have in that thing, it creates a wave, and the efforts and belief you have are multipled many times.
Also when your passionate about what you do, it makes things fun, and in some ways even makes it easier. For if you do something you consider to be a "job" then it will always be that just a job, when its fun, then its no longer a job. Think about this, have you ever heard of a successful person, who does not like what they do ?
So go find the things that your passionate about, and work with them. Set your goals, think about the goals you have often and eventually you will find fun ways to complete them.
Be Patient, Consistant and Persistant.
Linked in with some of the above. Nothing happens over night, people must learn the trade they want to be the best in. Doctors spend 5-8 years learning to be a doctor, everyone spends time learning to drive, and guess what most of us make mistakes as we learn these new things, however this isn't a reason for us to stop. So be patient with the goals you set, trust that if your honest to yourself, eventually with some effort from yourself, they will come true.
Be persistant, as with everything in life, we dont always get everything straight away, be persistant in what you do, and the results will follow. World class snooker players, play frame after frame after frame, until they are good enough to win. They are persistant in what they do, and eventually the rewards follow.
Failure is one step closer to success.
Remember this, just because you fail at something is no indication that you cant make it. Most of the successful people in the world, have failed many times, before they became what they were. Its these life experience's that make us what we are, and help us to grow stronger, as long as we learn from our mistakes thats all that matters.
Be hungry for knowledge, and ask questions.
Most successful people are hungry for knowledge, they ask lots of questins and learn all the time. They will even ask questions, that some people will consdier to be stupid questions. However no question is stupid if you dont know the answer.
The hunger for knowledge is great, as in this one lifetime we have, there is so much to learn, and so little time to do it in. People should never stop learning. One day you may gain some knowledge that helps you achieve one of those goals you set yourself.
Networking is key
A lot of successful people network with other people. These can be other successful people, or just with people who have different skill sets to themselves. This again helps them to learn and develop. At the same time it also means that when they need help with things, there is generally someone around to help them.
We also tend to mold into the people we hang around with. SO if you spend your time with successful people, the chances are that you will become successful yourself. If you tend to spend your time with misrable people who have no money and hate life, the chances are… well lets not go there.
Look into the future
Looking into the future is also important here, seeing the bigger picture, and avoiding the rush for instant gratification, is one of the things that differentiate successful people and the non successful people.
As I mentioned before nothing comes easy and nothing comes quick, so if you stick to the plan, now where your going, it will happen. See past the present and into the future. Plan ahead and let nothing get in your way.
Take action
Yes this is a biggie. Whilst a lot of people talk the talk, you need to take action to achieve what you want in this world, because its very unlikely that it will get handed to you on a plate. No excuses just take action. If you set yourself a goal, if you dont take action, all you are doing is letting yourself down. Below is another quote which is so true.
"Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it." Jack Canfield
I hope that has helped some people, it is this knowledge that will halp me on my way to becoming a millionaire, and it is this knowledge, and the action, that you my readers take, which can help you achieve whatever it is you want.
To our continued success and development. God Bless All. DT.
