The way success is viewed is changing. But the rules still remain the same.
Everyone want to be successful at what they do. And to say it, everyone wants that success to come to them in their chosen careers or fields of endeavor. So the carpenter just doesn't want to be a carpenter,
but wants to be a successful carpenter. The lawyer dreams of becoming a successful lawyer, and then there's the online marketer who doesn't want to be just an online marketer,
but wants to be a successful online marketer.
Many will tell you that success has rules, and this means that in wanting to become successful a set of rules or guidelines must be followed.
If there are rules then they can be summed up as follows;
1) Be focused: Never allow setbacks and road blocks make you lose your focus such that you go in a different direction that you did not plan for. This is much like starting all over again.
If your goal is to go a thousand miles on foot, then let your focus be on that.
2) Be persistent: It won't be easy becoming successful as you will come across many difficulties along the way and let's face it,
sometimes you will fail.
But that failure shouldn't stop your determination and willingness to move on. That's why you need to be persistent.
3) Never give up: You may get stuck where you are now because you have no idea how to move on or,
where you are going with your business And so you want to give up. But giving up means you shouldn't have started in the first place.
4) Take Action: You have a plethora of ideas on what to do to become successful. But what are you doing with those ideas? Do you keep them as ideas or
you work on making them become a reality? Everyday we learn something new or acquire new knowledge. Now it's time to put what you learnt into action.
Take action while an idea is still fresh in your mind. Take action and do something to ignite the success you want.
5)Don't complain: No matter what happens never complain. No matter what changes around you that could affect your focus,
don't waste your time in complaints that will get you no where. Remain focused on what you are doing and move on.
6) Be happy: Happiness comes from doing what you love doing. So if you are not happy with your current job but you know it's necessary to pay the bills, then start thinking of finding,
something to do that will make you happy while you do it. The more happy you are the more productive you will be and the more your motivation will increase.
7) Learn from making mistakes: Making mistakes is part of human nature. Who doesn't make mistakes? We all do from time to time. But if you make a mistake and take it to mean,
it's the end of the world, then you'll never learn from it and move on. Learning from the mistakes we make is useful in understanding what we did wrong and how we can avoid it in the future.
Success doesn't come overnight like you are made to believe, but it comes once you are able to move yourself in the direction that will make you successful. And moving yourself in the direction,
that will make you successful requires a full commitment towards that direction. In the end every time you wasted, every setback that came your way will be something of the past.
