by Jim Waller I think it's safe to say that in this life, all of us want to be successful. Unfortunately, everyone has a different definition of what being successful means. It could mean being financially successful and having lots of money, a big house and a fancy car, boat and/or plane. It could mean being successful at relationships and having a loving caring spouse/ significant other as well as a large extended network of family and friends woh all love and cherish you. It could mean athletic success, and being the best at your chosen sport/ activity. It could mean emotional success in the form of simply being happy.
With so many different possible definitions for success, it is hard to give a blanket prescription for achieving success. With that said, There are some basic steps to achieving success in any form that need to be considered. I have developed the "Success-Find It!" plan for achieving success. These are my steps toward achieving success:
1. Find your purpose - Ask yourself why you want to be successful, or why you want to achieve whatever it is you want? Basically, what is your motivation?
2. Find your enthusiasm - What gives you that fiery drive to achieve success? What inspires you to do what it takes to achieve success?
3. Find your goals - What does being a success mean to you? This is where you have to define what success means. What is missing from your life that would make you feel successful?
4. Find your focus - What is blocking your view of your goals? What are your obstacles? What are your limiting beliefs preventing you from achieving success? Yes, you do have limiting beliefs if you don't have the success you want.
5. Find your path - What steps do you need to take to move toward your goals? This is where you need to plan your actions so you can achieve what you want.
6. Find your courage - What is keeping you from taking action? One of the hardest things is to actually get up enough courage to take the actions necessary.
7. Take action!- This is almost a sub-bullet of the previous step; you must have the courage to take action, but you must also take the action. This is probably the most important step in achieving success.
8. Find your momentum - Once you have your plan under way, who or what could possibly stop you? Take the steps necessary to ensure success. Too many people give up just before they would have achieved success.
9. Find your perseverance - Why would you ever want to stop short of your goals? Keep going; you're almost there! Take the steps necessary to ensure continued success. Keep on keeping on as the saying goes.
10. Find your charity - What can you share from what you've now learned that can help others achieve their goals? In truth, this step may be part of taking action, because in giving, you are opening the path for receiving. This may be the meaning intended behind the Biblical quote, "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap". Plant the seeds of success, care for and nurture them, and eventually reap the fruits of your labor.
11. Find your happiness - What ever made you doubt yourself? Enjoy your success!This isn't really a step so much as a realization that we must appriciate the success in our lives if we want to be happy, well adjusted people.
I could probably come up with more steps based on what the desired outcome is, but really, these 11 steps pretty much cover all you need to do to achieve success. You probably already knew one or all of these steps, because the biggest secret to success is there really is no secret, only people who take all of the steps, and people who do not take all of the steps. I could probably expand more on every one of the steps, but at its core minimum, these are all you really need to know.
Perhaps in some future intel, I will address the various steps in more detail, but for now I think this is enough to whet your appetite and hopefully stimulate you to achieve whatever success you wish to achieve.
I've found a very good resource with similar beliefs as mine as to how to acheive success called Simpleology. I've included an external link in case you are interested in finding out more of the "Simple Science of Getting What You Want". I highly reccommend you check it out even though I personally will not benefit from it.
Once you have found your success, I would love it if you would share your story in my forum: http://www.success-findit.com/forum I want to help as many people as possible find their successes. If you share your story, it will help me achieve my success. I want you to succeed! You see, if more people are successful, and are willing to share their success, I believe the world will be a better place, and I think that is a pretty good goal for all of us, to make the world a better place and positively impact the world around you.
I hope you've enjoyed this intel, and more importantly, I hope I've inspired you to take some action toward achieving whatever it is that will help you feel successful. If you take action, and keep taking action, you will be able to achieve incredible things. You may have heard the question, "How do you eat an elephant?" and the answer, "One bite at a time.". Small consistent actions can lead to huge rewards. Now you know how to be successful.
Go out there.
Make it happen!
