What is Success Really?
Every single one of us is trying to reach success. (Whatever that is!) Whilst success is great and it is great to aim for it, it is more important to understand what it is before we start on our journey. That way we may save ourselves some wasted time and effort. As I wrote in my first book "Would you like Attitude with that?" and also in my soon to be released book "What are you waiting for?", success isn't that easy... If it was then we would all be successful. You see it is the skill of understanding who we are, understanding what we want, and understanding our faults that will bring us closer to success. Too many people are trying to keep up with the "jonses". I don't want to keep up with anyone! I want to set my own goals, my own standards and my own targets. I want to just be a "Jones" instead of trying to keep up with people who don't really matter, better yet, who are probably unhappy anyway. Every morning I want you to say three letters. WWH WWH stands for: What do I want? When do I want it? And How do I get it now? You see many of us would like to have a better job, a better business even a better life, but many of us never challenge our own thinking on a daily basis.Your mind and thought processes will be the main contributor to always falling short. What do you want? Do you know yet or do you just want to be like others around you?For many, the answer to this question has been too far away to contemplate for a long time. Set yourself "tangible goals". Don't aim for "success" or even "Riches" aim at things that will bring you a sense of satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment. When do you want it? A lot of people are just happy if they survive. If one day something works out for them, the planets are in alignment and they have been dealt a fair deck of cards, then they will be happy. You see many of us are just waiting to play the hand that we are dealt. You need to take tour goals and dreams by the throat. You need to be like a dog with a bone. Never give up on what you want. Make today the day you decide will be the day that you aimed at your goals. How determined are you at getting that house, that car, that holiday or the quality time with your family. Way too many people spend ages trying to find "the right thing" to do to get them to their goals, when in reality it is getting to the goal that is the most important part. There seems to be a lot of misguided stigma in what we all do as a job. You have probably been at a party where one of the first questions you are asked is "so what do you do for a job?" I don't think it is what we do that is the most important key; it is the how well we do it that really counts. Every day that you get out of bed, every day that you are driving to work, just say to yourself "WWH" and get your thinking back onto fulfilling those goals and dreams that you have set for yourself.

As the water began to rise, the man's neighbor came by in a boat and offered to take him to safer ground. He politely declined, "God will save me." When the water had risen up to his second floor windows, authorities came by in a rescue boat. They shouted impatiently at him to get into the boat, but he sent them off, saying, "God will watch out for me." Later, as he sat on his roof with water lapping at its edges, a military helicopter hovered above him; a rescue officer was lowered to bring him up into the aircraft. Again he refused . . . and later drowned. When he reached heaven, he was furious and demanded a meeting with God. 19 Good Questions For Living The Good Life (Just The Right Question To Get Just What You Desire) It happened again in class.

If you remember the old, old song, "What will be" may not be the answer you're looking for. Become a Good Observer We must never allow a day to pass without finding the answers to a list of important questions such as: What is going on in our industry? What new challenges are currently facing our government? Our community? Our neighborhood? What are the new breakthroughs, the new opportunities, the new tools and techniques that have recently come to light? Who are the new personalities that are influencing world and local opinion? Plan On Opposition to Your New Ideas. It?s Normal! Lets face it, no one enjoys rejection. But the reality is, a new idea starts getting negative assaults within three seconds and thirty percent of people will readily oppose a new idea without even taking sufficient time to find out if the new idea is good or not. Whether your idea is convincing your friends to try a new place for lunch or getting the advertising budget doubled, it can be an uphill battle. As a knee-jerk response, its normal for people to say: thats dumb, we tried that, it costs too much; it will never work, you don't understand, etcetera!

Limiting Beliefs - How to Break Through the Barrier Circus trainers used to tie a chain around a baby elephant'sankle to stop it from escaping. The chain would be connectedto a tall spike which was hammered deep into the ground. As a baby, the elephant was not strong enough to pull out the spike, and so it learned not to try. As the elephant became fully grown, it continued to believe that it could not escape, even though it was easily strong enough. |
