Success

How do you define success? Each person has their own idea of what success means to them. To one it could be moving up the employment ladder, the amount money in the bank, or material items gathered. To others it could be strong relationships in life, academic goals, or giving back to others. Define your success and go for it with all your heart.

Whenever success reaches you, celebrate for one day, and move on. Far too often, you see people at 40 years of age replaying the successes of their teenage years.

Wake up each day with a plan. What is it that you need to do before 9 a.m.? How exactly are you holding yourself accountable? People with a plan rarely sleep past 8 a.m.

Define what success means to you: personally, spiritually, and professionally.

Dress the way you like to be treated. If you dress like a potential inmate, make sure you’re able to offset an opinion by your conversations.

Winners win and performers perform. Both are successful people. Succeeding is simply a choice, on the other hand, so is losing.

Multiple-level marketing, no matter the product or pitch, doesn’t work. Success is a result of working with your hands, as well as consistency.

Play fair yet play to win. Losers are the only ones comfortable with losing.

Your last name is important, it represents all who came before you and is your link to generations to come. Read the story of the namesake of Chicago’s O’Hare International, one of the busiest airports in the country.

Set your standards for life and surround yourself with people of similar standards.

Find an exercise regimen that works best for you. Pick a specific day and create a schedule. Even no schedule is a type of schedule.

Before beginning any endeavor, assign a success-to-failure ratio. If that’s not possible, consult with someone who already succeeded in that same area.

Read this book once a quarter or at least once a year. Give it to your friends, if you want them to remain your friends. You’re not going to be able to fly like an eagle hanging with turkeys.

If you’re not a champion, honestly record the reasons why. Set a timetable and start eliminating your barriers to success.

Refrain from being a jack-of-all-trades and master of none.

Are you proud of the person you’ve become? If yes, great! If not, change.

Set your clock 10 minutes fast.

Set really high standards each year, incredibly high. Write down your plan. If you’re barely successful in reaching your goal, you’d have a better year.
