Success Secrets Still Valid
Author: motivationnews
Author Michael
Jeffreys personally interviewed 15 top motivational
gurus in 1997 for his then upcoming book. After
talking to gurus from Brian Tracy to Dr. Wayne Dyer,
he distilled 8 Secrets to Success they all agreed
upon. These secrets are still good today and are as
follows:
Take 100% Responsibility for
Your Life In a society where people
blame everything from their parents to the government for failure,
those who don't buy into this mentality or succumb to the victim
thinking succeed. Don't blame something or somebody outside yourself
Live Your Life On Purpose -
What separates motivational thinkers from the unsuccessful is that
they believe they're doing what they were put her to do. The
difference between this and just living, is that the latter is just
getting through the week with the least problems.
Be Willing to Pay the Price -
Be willing to pay the price for your dreams. Wanting a big house, a
luxury car, and a million dollars in the bank is all very nice, and
everyone wants these things but are you willing to pay the price
to get them? This is one of the major differences between the
successful and unsuccessful.
Stay Focused
Focusing requires giving up something in the present because you are
investing your time in something that will pay off big-time down the
road.
Become An Expert in Your
Field One striking factor all successful
people have in common is how seriously they take their profession.
They strive to be the best at what they do, and do almost anything
to improve.
Write Out a Plan for
Achieving Your Goals - Write out an
action plan/map for how you're going to achieve your goals. Trying
to reach your goals without a plan is like trying to drive from Los
Angeles to Chicago without a map. A goal that isn't written down is
merely a wish or fantasy.
Never Give Up -
Never, never, never give up. When you're fully committed to
achieving your goal, giving up is not an option. You must be willing
do whatever it takes to make it happen. The power of perseverance
is an awesome force.
Don't Delay -
Nobody knows how much time they have left to accomplish their
dreams, and we must remember that we don't have forever. The clock
is ticking, and sooner or later your number comes up and you're
gone. Successful achievers know this too, but they don't view it as
a negative. Achievers use it to spur them on. They go after
what they want as energetically and as passionately as possible, for
as long as they have.
