Proven Success Tips:
Achieve Any Goal You Put Your Mind To
11.
Accept Responsibility
You need to accept
responsibility if you make a bad decision or fall behind in
your plan. Let us say that you have set some firm milestones
that need to be accomplished in order for you to move to the
next step. However, you got tired of working hard and took
some time to play, which is fine as long as it does not affect
your goals. Now months have passed and you are way behind
schedule. This delay has closed several doors of opportunities.
Who is to blame?
12.
Be Happy
A positive mind
and happy, upbeat attitude will help you succeed. It has been
proven in many studies that a person living in a happy state
generally gets much further in just about everything they
do. This relates to attitude. Just as bad attitude can pull
you down, good attitude and a happy, healthy mind will help
you meet your objectives.
13.
No Shortcuts
An old cliché
states, “Anything worth doing is worth doing well.” This should
be your motto. When you want to succeed, you cannot afford
to take shortcuts. Taking shortcuts leads to imperfection
and inadequacies. Always strive for the best, even if it requires
a little more time and effort.
14.
Have Courage
Depending on what
your specific success is, it may take courage to arrive at
your desired destination. For example, if you have a dream
of being a writer and to you, that is success, but according
to your long line of family members who have all gone on to
be doctors, the only success in their minds is if you follow
down the medical path. This means you will have to have courage
to stand up for what you believe and desire to do, even if
it means disappointing family.
15.
Be Excited to Learn
Referring back
to the analogy of Edison, when asked about his failures by
a young boy, Edison commented, “Young man, I didn’t fail 9,999
times, I discovered 9,999 ways not to invent the light bulb.”
As you work toward your specific success, always enjoy opportunities
to learn, even if it takes longer than you think it should.
16.
Share your Success
Although this may
be more at the end of the process, it is important. When you
finally do reach your success, use your experience to teach,
guide, and mentor others so that they too might succeed.
17.
Seek Input
Whatever your idea
of success, conduct a “sanity check” throughout the process
of reaching your goal. This should be done with someone you
trust and who is themselves successful. Ask them to provide
honest feedback about your success and as you move through
different milestones, bounce concerns or new ideas off them
to help keep you on the right track.
18.
Toxic Poisoning
No, we are not
talking about actual poison but toxic people that can poison.
Unfortunately, it would be great if close friends or co-workers
could share in your success but all too often, there will
be someone who is either dealing with the “green monster”
of jealousy or has a case of the “I knew that” syndrome. If
you are serious about reaching your goal and being successful,
you will need to rid your life of these people. While you
may not be able to get them out of your life completely, you
should avoid them as best as possible. If this is a person,
you see every day, keep your goals to yourself, and avoid
that specific subject.
19.
Be a Good Listener
To succeed, you
need to learn how to listen first. Pay attention to other
people who have enjoyed successes in their life, attend seminars
given by people that can motivate and encourage, or be open
to hearing that a particular idea is not a good one. Good
listening takes time to learn but in the end, it will be your
greatest tool.
20.
Birds of a Feather
If you have a goal
of being a best-selling author, find friends and mentors who
either have achieved that same goal or are also pursuing a
successful writing career. It is important to surround yourself
with people that can associate with your goal and passion,
people who understand the burning desire to succeed and can
encourage when you meet with disappointments.
