Henry Ford is a great example of how someone can come from an underprivileged life and become an enormous success. Henry Ford gave the world many great things but two of those stick out above the rest. He gave us the automobile and the production assembly line. These two things changed the course of the world.

Looking at a life like Henry Ford’s can give great insight in how to become successful in your own life. Henry Ford revealed one of his secrets of success when he stated, ‘Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs.’ Henry Ford was a man of great vision and foresight but his ability to break down this vision into smaller pieces helped him achieve great success.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by something you knew you had to do? It’s so easy to focus on the big picture and get discouraged because you never know how you are going to get it done. Instead of focusing on the end result, break your tasks down into much smaller, achievable pieces.

This can be compared to doing a puzzle. Have you ever done a puzzle that seems impossible to complete? You see all of these pieces that you have to put together and you don’t even know where to start. So you work a little here and a little there but it doesn’t seem like you are getting anywhere. The best remedy for that is to separate all the like colored pieces. Once you do this, you can then focus on one section at a time. You will see progress being made because you are focusing on only one section of the puzzle. Once you get that done you move on to the next section. As you begin to finish more and more sections, you realize that you have come a long way in completing the whole puzzle.

Use this approach, just like Henry Ford did, to maximize your success in every area of your life. Before you know it, you will be well on your way to becoming far more successful than you ever thought possible.
