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 dont buy into this mentality or succumb to the victim thinking succeed. To blame something or somebody outside yourself is saying they have control of your life and not you. Someone elses opinion of you doesnt have to become your reality. Live Your Life On Purpose - What separates motivational thinkers from the unsuccessful is that they believe theyre 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. But when you live your life on purpose, your main concern is doing the job right. For the entrepreneur this means finding a cause you believe in and building your business around it. 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 Every day were bombarded with hundreds of tasks, phone calls, messages, and everyone competing for our time. 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. Jack Canfield and Mark Hanson were turned by 30 publishers when they submitted the first Chicken Soup for the Soul book. Instead of giving up, they stayed focused on their goal and did four or five interviews per day for radio, TV, and newspapers, for five days a week for a whole year. Eventually, a small publisher decided to take a chance, and of course now its a best-seller that spawned an entire series that have sold more than 10 million copies. 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. If someone followed you around all day with a video camera at your business, would it be a tape youd be proud of or embarrassed about? Make the decision today to work at being the best in your field. How? By finding out what the best in your field are doing, and do what they do. Write Out a Plan for Achieving Your Goals - Write out an action plan/map for how youre 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 isnt written down is merely a wish or fantasy. Never Give Up - Never, never, never give up. When youre 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. As someone once said, inch by inch its a cinch. Think of the lowly inchworm if it pondered the length of the trip from start to finish before it started, it probably would never move. To a worms point-of-view, the garden path must look like a trip to Mars. Never give up! Keep on going like the Eveready battery bunny, and pretty soon youre there. Dont Delay - Nobody knows how much time they have left to accomplish their dreams, and we must remember that we dont have forever. The clock is ticking, and sooner or later your number comes up and youre gone. Successful achievers know this too, but they dont 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. I had a friend who used to say, Today is a check cash it! Yesterday is an I.O.U. forget it! Tomorrow is a promissory note, dont bank on it! I think thats a pretty good summation of life, so go out there and cash in on that today check.
