Success Is Taking Action - 5 Simple Rules That Show You How
Imagine this: You are very excited about a new book you found on the internet that claims to hold the ‘secrets to wealth creation and success.’ You order it immediately and can’t wait to get your hands on it. When it finally arrives, you read the blurb and maybe a page or two, before your kids start screaming and need your attention, or you have to cook dinner, or it’s time for the news, or... anyway, you get the picture. Life happens and gets in the way.
Eventually the book becomes one more thing you didn’t follow through and you become less confident in your ability to affect any real changes in your life. If this sounds familiar, don’t get discouraged. Realize that today doesn’t have to be like yesterday and the past doesn’t determine who you are. And here is how you can get started:
RULE 1: ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY –YOU GOT YOURSELF HERE, THERE’S NO ONE ELSE TO BLAME
Unless you recognize that your choices are what have brought you to this particular point in your life, you will not be able to move forward. Are you taking responsibility for your actions, playing the blaming game or great at making excuses? If you find yourself living a life that you neither asked for, nor want; now is the time to change.
RULE 2: TAKE CHARGE - KNOW WHAT YOU WANT AND WHY
As simple as it sounds, your life can literally change in a moment - all you need is a strong enough reason that moves you to say ‘enough’, ‘no more’ or ‘I love you’ and put yourself on the line. That single decision is the first step that will allow you to take definitive action. However, you don’t only need to know‘WHAT’ you want, but also get clear on ‘WHY’ – the reason behind your goal must be compelling enough for you to get out of your comfort zone and keep going in the face of adversity. Change requires that you take consistent action until you gain enough momentum to carry you through - and this is where most people fail.
RULE 3: TAKE ACTION – SET YOURSELF ACHIEVABLE DAILY TARGETS
It is said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, but to that I’d like to add: ‘in the right direction.’ In today’s society it’s easy to be too busy at being busy. Define your goal and break it down into monthly, weekly and daily targets. Once you have determined the daily tasks you need to get you there. Set yourself 2 or 3 tasks daily and work on one at a time without interruptions. Focusing on one task at a time not only ensures better performance, but also the achievement of daily goals will begin conditioning your brain to expect success.
RULE 4: BELIEVE - FOR THINGS TO CHANGE, YOU MUST CHANGE
Learn to master frustration and setbacks - it is not about how much you can handle; it is about how you handle it. Next time you feel frustrated change your focus quickly and don’t let it ruin your day.
Learn to expect success - when you are absolutely certain that your actions will achieve your desired result, there is nothing that can stop you. Thoughts are powerful things and what you believe is true for you, so don’t take this step lightly. Simple visualization techniques will allow you to see in your mind the results you want to create in your life until they become real. When you are fully committed, you will do whatever it takes and be rewarded by great results. The positive results will reinforce your belief of what’s possible and the cycle becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy that will see you creating more and more success in your life.
RULE 5: HOLD YOURSELF TO A HIGHER STANDARD
Whatever it is you want to achieve in life, it boils down to 80% psychology and 20% mechanics. Look for role models, get inspired and learn to judge yourself by your goals and your potential, not by what others think of you or say you should do. Always give much more than you expect to receive and realize that no matter where you are, you always have something to be grateful for.
