Become a Success
Statistics show that highly successful people are: 1) self-confident; 2) impatient and
excessive about their personal and professional pursuits; 3) committed to their work to
the degree of being workaholics; 4) people who want, need and demand to be in control;
5) people who have strong likes and dislikes; 6) introverted as opposed to extroverted; 7)
more concerned with being respected than being liked; 8) find the process of attaining
their goals much more joyful than the actual accomplishment; 9) predictable and reliable
high achievers who always act to secure the future; and 10) people who need to learn to
delegate. If you dont fulfill all these profile points, that doesnt mean you cant learn to
become successful. YOU CAN!
To most people, learning how to become successful means developing a particular
skill, or launching a hot idea. But the truth is, thats only a small part of successa
necessary part to be sure, but 90 percent of success results from four factors: energy,
enthusiasm, self-image and discipline.
Success obviously means different things to different people, and although most of
the following tips could be applied to any aspect of success, this chapter will focus
primarily on monetary success.
Physical energy is the basis of all energy and is the key ingredient of renewal. How do
you attain the energy you require? In a nutshell, it will come from your lifestyle. A
lifestyle incorporating physical exercise and a proper diet, plus a balance of work and
play, and a minimum of stress almost assures an excess of physical energy.
Enthusiasm combined with action will hasten success. Enthusiasm is the
psychological adrenaline that drives you to victory against the odds. It usually results
from doing what you love to do. Before embarking upon the quest of a goal, be sure you
have the enthusiasm to see it through. The more you believe in your goal the more
enthusiasm youll have. Then attain the knowledge you need which will generate even
more enthusiasm.
Self-image: perceiving yourself as a winner is probably the most powerful success
factor of all. Self-image results from what you do. The more you do what makes you
proud of yourself, the better your self-image becomes. So, stop doing anything that
lowers your self-image in any way. And start doing everything you can to generate
positive esteem.
It is critically important to realize that you will never allow yourself to have what
you dont feel worthy of. Do you feel worthy of your goals? If not you must begin
immediately to program your conscious and subconscious mind to support your
worthiness. Chapter Three Increase Your Self-Esteem offers a blueprint for building
your self-image.
Self-discipline isnt about self-denial or self-restrictions. In the context of success it
means self-determination. It is perseverance in action, and the very basis of success,
because it is how you direct your time, energy and resources to manifest your desires.
Self-discipline is the one ingredient common to all self-made, successful people. And it
certainly isnt difficult to rise above the level of self-discipline of the masses because they
are so accustomed to being disciplined by others, they cant discipline themselves. They
accept being told what to do, and how and when to do it, by their parents, friends, mate,
employer, religion and government.
Self-discipline simply means that you do what you need to do, and stop doing what
you know doesnt work. It is you and you alone who controls your mind, body and
actions. It starts with positive thoughts. If you cant control your thoughts, you cant
control your actions. Obviously, your current life is a result of your thoughts, which
created your feelings, which causes your actions. Begin immediately to monitor your
thoughts and when you catch yourself thinking negative, say to yourself, Success
Opportunity. Then quickly imagine the same situation with a positive outcome. This
little technique blocks negative subconscious programming and promotes positive
thinking.
We all have the same 1,440 minutes per daywhich is forever lostunless you
invest it in your future success, acquiring knowledge, learning skills, making business
contacts or enhancing your personal life. If you have trouble planning, organizing your
life and setting priorities you need to study time management. There are many excellent
titles on time management at your local bookstore.
6. Act now.
Dont wait for the ideal time to put your success plans into action. Chances are there
will never be a perfect time. Success comes to those who are bold enough to risk.
Courage is the willingness to be afraid and to act anyway.
spending quality time with your child, enjoying a hobby, or even attending to your
spiritual needs. But this balance is critical to your overall well being. Maintaining your
equilibrium needs to become a central priority.
If you allow yourself to get out of balance, things will start to go wrong in the area
you are not attending to. If your ignoring your relationship for your career, you can
count on relationship problems which will then indirectly effect your work career. If you
arent eating and exercising properly, youll probably get sick, which will again
indirectly affect your success career.
If any of your answers were negative, you have a problem with beliefs that must be
solved by finding the cause of the belief, or through reprogramming. There are many
ways to process the cause of the belief: metaphysical counseling, past-life regression, self
hypnosis, psychiatric therapy, etc. You will have to find what works best for you.
percent of your efforts. The idea is to increase your efforts in the area that is paying off
and delegate to others the busy work that isnt generating the high-percentage return.
