Success is a relative concept. A successful life is different for everyone. Someone wants to become president, someone wants to receive $ 100,000 a month without doing anything, but for someone success is the achievements of his children. And we will proceed from the premise that success is the achievement of your goal. And it is impossible to achieve the goal without certain qualities.
1. Set a specific goal. Success comes to someone who knows exactly what he needs. If your goal is too global, break it down into several micro goals and achieve each point.
2. Plan and reflect. Use any free minute to plan your next steps. And when you get down to business, you will firmly know what to do.
3. Follow through to the end. The main sign of successful people is completed projects. You can stop halfway to the goal for various reasons - because of difficulties, due to laziness, lack of motivation, or for some other reason. But one should not retreat halfway. On the other hand, if the task is beyond your strength, you are overtaken by a series of failures - it is better to retreat for now, and not be like a donkey breaking a wall with its forehead.
4. Do not give up in front of difficulties. As Nietzsche said, "everything that does not kill us makes us stronger." Difficulties only reinforce character. Once you have set a goal for yourself, no difficulty will stop you. And overcoming obstacles is a new experience for successful plans.
5. Don't be afraid to be wrong. Mistakes are also experiences. Success doesn't come by itself. Success comes at the price of failure. As Edison liked to repeat at the next failure, “I now know 99 ways how not to reinvent the light bulb. It remains to find 1 way how to do it."
6. Do not be discouraged under any circumstances. Despair, lack of hope, self-doubt are the lot of losers. Successful people are always optimistic, look to the future with hope and do not blame themselves for past mistakes.
7. Don't blame others for your failures. Only you are to blame for your failures. It is bad form to blame your troubles on those around you. Think about why you failed to achieve success, draw conclusions and make yourself better.
8. Don't be afraid to start over. If you start something the second, third, or even the hundredth time, it’s not from scratch. You have experience how to do it no longer. Therefore, in any case, it will not work to start from scratch. Just don't repeat past mistakes.
9. Don't beat yourself up about the past. Do not delve into the "dirty laundry" of past failures. This will never give you confidence. Of course, mistakes should not be ignored. It is better to draw conclusions, how to avoid them in the future, and it is worth remembering successes at your leisure.
10. Do your work consistently. Do not take on a hundred cases at once - you are not Julius Caesar. The human brain has been shown to be poor at multitasking. Therefore, it is better to complete one thing with high quality, and then take on another. That is how success will come.
11. Set aside time to work every day. If you have a goal, such as writing the coolest computer blog, spend a certain amount of time writing posts every day. Notify your neighbors that you are working, say, 1 hour from 19.00 to 20.00, so that they do not bother you, and really work at this time. Only consistency will help you complete your work - and achieve success.
12. Start with a draft. If you can't do something “cleanly” (for example, draw up a business plan on the fly or write a new chapter in a book), this is not a reason to postpone the matter. Write at least a draft. Next time there will already be a "base", on the basis of which you will make a "white".
13. Put things in order in time, kill chronophages. Think about how much time you spend on social media, playing games, talking to neighbors, watching television? Eliminate all of this and you have time for real action. Successful people value every minute.
14. Read more. Yes, reading develops our mind. Reading good literature not only enriches our vocabulary, but also develops the imagination and teaches the basics of human psychology. All this, undoubtedly, is necessary for a successful person.
15. Feel free to ask. A successful leader is not a know-it-all, but one who is not afraid to ask and learn new things. Sometimes subordinates can teach their boss a lot.
16. Continue your training. You graduated from high school and college - is that all? No, our time requires versatility from a person. To be successful, you have to understand many things. Don't get hung up on one thing. There are many different courses and seminars now. It is worth getting a couple of additional diplomas or even an advanced degree.
17. If you don’t want to do anything, don’t do anything! Don't rape your brain. If your head wants to rest, rest. Listen to good music, watch an interesting movie, take a walk with your family in the woods. Remember: horses die from work. And you are far from a horse.
18. Eat right. Nutrition should be balanced. Then the necessary substances enter the brain, and nothing superfluous is deposited under the skin. A healthy body is the key to a healthy mind - and success!
19. Move more. You can even join the gym. Well, or run around the house in the morning. Most successful people lead healthy and active lives. And no bad habits!
20. Involve friends and acquaintances in your work. Tell about your goals and plans of others, ask about their goals. Maybe you can help each other? It will only be great - you will have a team. And it's easier to achieve success with a team.
21. Don't do work just for the money. Money is not enough motivation. Work should be fun. You need to feel that you are adding value to people. Quickie gets boring quickly.
22. Make money work for you. If one of your goals is money, you shouldn't save it and sit on it, like Plyushkin. Money has to make money. Put them into circulation, let money help you achieve your goal and become successful.
23. Don't forget about yourself and your family. Everything you do should make sense. Your goal is not the meaning of your existence, your success is only a component of a fulfilling life. The main focus should be on yourself and your family. For whom are you succeeding?
24. Get rid of bad habits. Smoking, alcohol, especially drug addiction is a road to nowhere. You cannot succeed with them. All this must be thrown away. And lead a healthy lifestyle!
25. Smile often! If you smile, people around you will be drawn to you. And your soul will be fine. And with joy in your soul, it's easier to achieve success!
