25 STEPS TO SUCCESS

Who doesn't want to
strive and become
successful? Exactly, no
one. Deep inside all of
us, we have our own
personal reasons for
striving for success,
and really, we all define
success in very
different ways
whether it is for
financial freedom or
mere sense of
accomplishment.
When you go to the
bookstore, there is a
reason that there are
six thousand different
books proclaiming to
know the recipe for
success; it's one of the
most sought after
things on the planet.
Ironically, we tend to
think that the most
complicated solutions
are the most effective
and we subsequently
ignore the simple facts.
Simplicity is what
makes everything
possible and with every
great feat, there were
hundreds of small,
simple decisions that
had to take place first.
Look at Google and their
simplistic homepage; did
simple work for them?
In this article I am not
going to break some
earth-shattering news
or reveal a 10-step
program to success.
Instead, I want to
refresh your brain a
little, tip some simplistic
approaches and get you
back to basics. The
simplest things are
easily forgotten, have
some of these fallen
from your scope?
1. Let go of the past.
Act and apply in the
present and shape up
the future
2. Utilize your failures
as a guide towards
success
3. Do not try. Just do it.
4. Make a list of your
dreams. No matter how
hard they might be to
achieve, just sit down
and write all your
dreams down.
5. Make a list of your goals
and think how you can
achieve them
6. Use negative feedback
and criticism to your
advantage and better
yourself
7. If you want to be
successful in someone
else's game (if you have
a boss), play by their
rules or create your
own game.
8. Make a list of your
values. What do you
value most and build
your success upon
them
9. Keep personal time
separate from
business time.
10. Your success depends
on your failures as well
as your achievements.
11. If you are in doubt let
someone else do it.
Doubtfulness is saying I
almost believe it. If you
don't fully believe it,
leave it for someone
else who does
12. Avoid interruptions
during your productivity
time. Whatever it might
be, work or family or
some alone time,
interruptions can throw
you off for whatever it
is you are doing.
13. Determine your peak
performance hours.
Work at a point in day
when you feel like you
are most effective.
14. Breath deeply and let go
off any stress.
15. Rest and relaxation
plays as much an
important part as
exercise itself.
16. Do not worry. All it does
is gets you ready for
negative outcomes.
17. Think happy thoughts
and there will be
positive outcomes.
18. Do not step back from
the job at hand when
fear subsides in you.
19. Use your brain not only
your heart.
20. Eliminate emotions by
letting go off the past
and thinking about the
present.
21. What has happened in
the past will most
probably stay the
same; you can't change
it. Instead focus on the
present and live today
instead of yesterday.
22. Don't let the time
control you. You control
the time.
23. Time management is
the most effective tool
you can utilize and
become successful.
24. Create strategies and
build credibility among
your peers.
25. Once again, forget the
past and live it up in the
present.
Those were my
thoughts and what I
practice and preach. Feel
free to add more
through your
comments. Another key
reason to becoming
successful is following
advice and suggestions
so lets go ahead and
use the comment
section for that
purpose.
