An easy Success Formula

Everyone yearns for one thing in life…to be successful. The feeling of achievement of goals, dreams and desires is unmatched. It creates a sense of satisfaction to see it all come together. We spend so many years trying to find clues on how to be successful but with little or no luck. There is no feeling thats worse than regret. It is time, ladies and gentleman, to roll up our sleeves and go after our dreams. Chase that vision, grab that award and hopefully find yourself written in the hall of fame. But before we get to the hall of fame, there are a few experiences I would like to share with you that, in my opinion, may increase one’s chances of success and they are:

Believe in yourself

This is the first step. You just have to believe in yourself. There is only one “you” on this planet… no copy. Consciously reprogram your mind for success by believing in yourself. You can do it. There is a popular quote that says “Whatever the mind of man can conceive, it can achieve”. All the groundbreaking innovations we have today are because of men and women who believed they could do more and be more. It is your time to shine. Believe.

Identify your abilities

 It’s possible to be an all-rounder and be good at everything. Not everyone is like that. The average person has strengths and weaknesses. You have to sit down and identify what you are good at. Take time also to find out what you love and have a burning passion for. Then find out what you don’t like doing and stuff you are not good at. To be a success, concentrate more on the things you are good at and love to do and perfect the art. It would be counter-productive to keep your focus on your weaknesses if you want to achieve success. Don’t be a jack of all trades…and master none.

Configure your environment

The right environment will produce the right result. Think of seeds planted in good soil versus seeds planted on sand. They both will germinate but the plants with a better chance of growth are those planted in good fertile soil. Ensure that your environment supports your goals, vision and dreams. If your environment is filled with negativity, doubt, saboteurs and all the things that are unpleasant then it may be time to change the environment in order for you to be successful. Change is hard but do you know what even harder? An unfavorable environment. Assess your environment to ensure that it’s the right one for the targets you have set for yourself. If it’s not, reconfigure.

Network

Great minds think alike. Find people with the same drive as you and learn from their experiences. It will save you time and help you identify opportunities through these people. A famous person once said : “ Your net worth is determined by your network” and this is true. Attend seminars, hackathons and conferences as they are an easy way to network with people in the same area as the one you are pursuing. Spend time growing a network that will propel you towards success.

Read books

Books are wealthy source of information. Successful CEOs always encourage future leaders to read as much as they can to enhance their knowledge and sharpen their skills. Get books and learn as much as you can about the skill that you want to be a master at. If you have a tight work schedule invest in audio books that you can listen to on the go.

Take Action

Last but not least it is important to take action towards your goal. If you want to be a business owner then go and get registered. Not taking action will only make your vision a pipe dream. Aggressively take the necessary actions.
