Whilst success is a different feeling, and act or accomplishment for each person, the study of successful people has shown that they frequently practice certain skills and have certain mind sets with common points to each other. Putting this another way, success is about following some universal rules, to maximise your chances of reaching, or maintaining your desired level of success.
Whilst the topic of success can take up pages and pages, I want to concentrate specifically on the sub set of principles highlighted below:
Problem Solving:
To begin with, when you stumble across a problem, do you sink your head in defeat, and think it's all too hard, or do you feel that you have what it takes to mount the obstacle before you? I certainly understand that some problems can be more challenging than others, but it is the problem solvers that ultimately reach the success they desire. As a side point, they tend to be wealthier as well, as all success is about solving problems. This can be further explained when you consider that any information product sold is there to solve a problem.
Conquer your Fears:
You also need to ensure that you manage to not only control your fears, but persevere to conquer them.
It is understandable that we may be inwardly fearful of starting a new project, or job, in that we are concerned about the results we get, or more specifically, are scared of failing. However, I personally work to the mantra that nothing ventures, will result in nothing gained. In addition, more often than not, once I start a new project, I succeed better than I I imagined. I am not wanting to brag, but highlight that the right thinking will usually result in more than you thought you were capable of.
Be more Creative, and Try New Things:
Never be afraid to work on a new angle or idea. That does not mean you need to reinvent the wheel, but many people, with great ideas, and thinking have 'failed' as they have though they would not catch on. How do you know that, till you give it your best shot? You have to be determined, and practice success methods regularly.
Success, like anything, is about dedication, repetition, and a dogged determination to do whatever it takes- simple as that. I know it takes effort, and can be harder than just saying it, but the price of success is worth the reward, time and time over.
