How To Be Successful ?


I think you’ll agree with me when I say:

Some people spend their entire lives wondering how to be successful in life, but never figure it out.

Would you be surprised to find out that the secret really comes down to four key areas?

Well, it does.

You see, personal success is achievable for anyone who practices the four areas – or keys to success as I call them.

Everyone wants personal success and to learn the keys to success. Everyone wants to have a happy, healthy life, do meaningful work, and achieve financial independence. Everyone wants to make a difference in the world, to be significant, to have a positive impact on those around him or her. Everyone wants to do something wonderful with his or her life.

Over and over, I have found that the keys to success are a single piece of information, a single idea at the right time, in the right situation, and change your life. I have also learned that the great truths are simple.

We All Have One Common Goal
Luckily for most of us, personal success is not a matter of background, intelligence, or native ability. It’s not our family, friends, or contacts who enable us to do extraordinary things. Instead, the keys to success are our ability to get the very best out of ourselves under almost all conditions and circumstances. It is your ability to adapt and change your life.

You have within you, right now, deep reserves of potential and ability that, if properly harnessed and channeled, will enable you to accomplish extraordinary things with your life. Get my FREE report Roots of Resilience and develop your ability to overcome difficulties, adversities, obstacles and setbacks.

The Four Keys To Success
The great keys to success to change your life have always been the same.
  1. Decide exactly what you want and where you want to go.
  2. Set a deadline and make a plan to get there. (Remember, a goal is just a dream with a deadline.)
  3. Take action on your plan; do something everyday to move toward your goal.
  4. Resolve in advance that you will persist until you succeed, that you will never, ever give up.


This formula is your key to success and has worked for almost everyone who has ever tried it.  It will require the very most you can give and the best qualities you can develop. In developing and following these keys to personal success, you will evolve and grow to become an extraordinary person.


Learn How To Be Successful From The Experts To Change Your Life
You will not live long enough to figure it all out for yourself. And what a waste it would be to try, when you can learn from others who have gone before. Ben Franklin once said, “Men can either buy their wisdom or they can borrow it from others. The great tragedy is that most men prefer to buy it, to pay full price in terms of time and treasure.”

Your greatest goal in life and in personal success should be to acquire as many of them as possible and then use them to help you do the things you want to do and become the person you want to become.

Program Yourself For Personal Success
You will change your life by achieving just one important goal, you create a pattern, a template for personal success in your subconscious mind. You will change your life and be automatically directed, and driven toward repeating that success in other things that you attempt.

By overcoming adversity and achieving one great goal in any area, you will program yourself for success in other areas as well. In other words, you learn to succeed by succeeding. The more you achieve, the more you can achieve. Each of the keys to success, especially the first one, builds your confidence and belief that you will be successful next time and achieve ultimate personal success.

Unlimited Potential
The only real limits on what you can do, have, or be are self-imposed. Once you make a clear, unequivocal decision to change your life by casting off all your mental limitations and throw your whole heart into the accomplishment of some great goal, your ultimate personal success is virtually guaranteed, as long as you don’t stop.
Every Obstacle Brings An Opportunity

Every Obstacle Brings An Opportunity


There once was a very wealthy and curious king. This king had a huge boulder placed in the middle of a road. Then he hid nearby to see if anyone would try to remove the gigantic rock from the road.

The first people to pass by were some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers. Rather than moving it, they simply walked around it. A few loudly blamed the King for not maintaining the roads. Not one of them tried to move the boulder.

Finally, a peasant came along. His arms were full of vegetables. When he got near the boulder, rather than simply walking around it as the others had, the peasant put down his load and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. It took a lot of effort but he finally succeeded.

The peasant gathered up his load and was ready to go on his way when he say a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The peasant opened the purse. The purse was stuffed full of gold coins and a note from the king. The king’s note said the purse’s gold was a reward for moving the boulder from the road.

The king showed the peasant what many of us never understand: every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.

Failure To Success Journey Of 3 Personalities



1. Walt Disney : 


One of the most creative geniuses of the 20th century was once fired from a newspaper because he was told he lacked creativity. Trying to persevere, Disney formed his first animation company, which was called Laugh-O-Gram Films. He raised $15,000 for the company but eventually was forced to close Laugh-O-Gram, following the close of an important distributor partner.


Desperate and out of money, Disney found his way to Hollywood and faced even more criticism and failure until finally, his first few classic films started to skyrocket in popularity.

2. Arianna Huffington: 


            It’s hard to believe that one of the most recognizable names in online publications was once rejected by three dozen major publishers. Huffington’s second book, which she tried to publish long before she created the now ubiquitously recognizable Huffington Post empire, was rejected 36 times before it was eventually accepted for publication.
           Even Huffington Post itself wasn’t a success right away. In fact, when it launched, there were dozens of highly negative reviews about its quality and its potential. Obviously, Huffington overcame those initial bouts of failure and has cemented her name as one of the most successful outlets on the web.

3.Thomas Edison : 



          We’ve all heard the name before. This famous American is attributed with failing over 10,000 times to invent a commercially viable electric lightbulb, but he didn’t give up. When asked by a newspaper reporter if he felt like a failure and if he should give up, after having gone through over 9,000 failed attempts, Edison simply stated “Why would I feel like a failure? And why would I ever give up? I now know definitely over 9,000 ways an electric lightbulb will not work. Success is almost in my grasp.”

Why Do Most Of The Success Stories Begin With Failure ?



"It is fine to celebrate success, but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure" - Bill Gates


Did you know that the first entrepreneurial venture of Bill Gates bombed? Still, this failure did not preclude his dream to make it big. He learnt from his past mistakes and rose above all challenges to lay the foundation of success, what is today known as Microsoft.

It sounds vaguely philosophical, but the most inspirational success stories have resulted from failures.

Each one of us desires for the stars. There’s nothing wrong about wishing success to kiss your feet. Unfortunately, unlike whipping up your instant coffee in minutes, success takes its own sweet time to come to you. It is a journey that is an amalgam of perseverance, positive thinking and most importantly, failures. Ah, there it is. Failure - the most dreaded word in our life’s dictionary.

Failures and success are the two sides of the same coin. When you flip the coin, the probability of experiencing failures is same as that of tasting success. So, whether you like it or not, failure is impossible to ignore. But, it is definitely not impossible to learn from your failures!

Just imagine - if Thomas Edison or Steve Jobs had given up on their experiments, could we have been enjoying our life without the light bulbs or iPhones?

Failures introduce us to the most successful ingredients of success - 

1. Discovering True Self

It is during the darkest, the most frustrating and the most depressing moments of our life that we discover our inner self – our strengths and weaknesses.

2. Learn from Mistakes

Failures communicate feedback on our mistakes. They give us time to brood on our mistakes; to improvise on them through trials and errors; and to ensure not to repeat them again.

3. Explore New Things

Failures give us an opportunity to try things differently the next time. It helps in polishing your approach and taking more intelligent and calculated risks in the future. It shows what works and what doesn’t.

4. Gives a Reality Check

If you have been acting too overconfident or blind in your pursuit of success, you may not be able to foresee probable defeats or challenges coming your way. However, a knee-jerk reaction in the form of failures can keep you grounded.

5. Not the End of the World

Yes, failure is bad. It is one of the worst things that could happen in your way to success. What really matters is to fix your mistakes and move ahead in your life. The famous literary poet and critic, George Edward Woodberry aptly describes this, "Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure."

Remember, success is only a temporary state of mind. Once you reach the peak of your life, business or career, your learning becomes stagnant. Success makes you complacent. It rusts your skills. It is intoxicating like wine, but it bereaves you of your judgment.

The real learnings come through the failures that you have encountered during the process of getting there on the top.

10 Signs Of Successful People...!!!


1. Excuses Are Avoided : 

It’s not about the cards you’re dealt, but how you play the hand.”
Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture

Successful people know that they are responsible for their life, no matter their starting point, weaknesses, and past failures.

Realising that you are responsible for what happens next in your life is both frightening and exciting.


And when you do, that becomes the only way you can become successful, because excuses limit and prevent us from growing personally and professionally.



Own your life; no one else will.

2.Healthy Life Style :

“Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.” — Jim Rohn
If you want to achieve anything in life, everything starts here. First you have to take care of your health, and there are only two things you need to keep in mind:

1. Healthy Diet

2. Physical Activity

Small steps, but you will thank yourself one day.


3.Mindset isn't Fixed :

“The future belongs to those who learn more skills and combine them in creative ways.” Robert Greene, Mastery

People with a fixed mindset think their intelligence or talents are simply fixed traits, and that talent alone leads to success — without hard work. They’re wrong.

Successful people know this. They invest an immense amount of time on a daily basis to develop a growth mindset, acquire new knowledge, learn new skills and change their perception so that it can benefit their lives.



Remember, who you are today, it’s not who you have to be tomorrow.

4.Long Term Mindset :

You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” — Mae West

Successful people set long-term goals, and they know these aims are merely the result of short-term habits that they need to do every day.

These healthy habits shouldn’t be something you do; they should be something you embody.


There is a difference between: “Working out to get a summer body” and “Working out because that’s who you are.

5.No Believe In Magic Stick : 

“Every day, in every way, I’m getting better and better” — Émile Coué

Overnight success is a myth.

Successful people know that making small continual improvement every day will be compounded over time, and give them desirable results.



That is why you should plan for the future, but focus on the day that’s ahead of you, and improve just 1% every day.

6.Focus On Only Single Task :

“The future belongs to those who learn more skills and combine them in creative ways.” Robert Greene, Mastery

People with a fixed mindset think their intelligence or talents are simply fixed traits, and that talent alone leads to success — without hard work. They’re wrong.

Successful people know this. They invest an immense amount of time on a daily basis to develop a growth mindset, acquire new knowledge, learn new skills and change their perception so that it can benefit their lives.


Remember, who you are today, it’s not who you have to be tomorrow.

7. Avoid Toxic Company :

“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”
― Jim Rohn

People we spend the most time with, add up to who we become.

There are people who are less accomplished in their personal and professional life, and there are people who are more accomplished than us. If you spend time with those who are behind you, your average will go down, and with it, your success.

But if you spend time with people who are more accomplished than you, no matter how challenging that might be, you will become more successful.

Take a look at around you, and see if you need to make any changes. 

8.Independent Of Social Media And Television :

“The trouble is, you think you have time” — Jack Kornfield

Impulsive web browsing and television watching are diseases of today’s society.
These two should never be an escape from your life or your goals.


Unless your goals depend on either, you should minimise (or even eliminate) your dependency on them, and direct that time towards things that can enrich your life.

9.Give Up Your Need To Be Liked : 

“The only way to avoid pissing people off is to do nothing important.” — Oliver Emberton

Think of yourself as a market niche.

There will be a lot of people who like that niche, and there will be individuals who don’t. And no matter what you do, you won’t be able to make the entire market like you.


This is entirely natural, and there’s no need to justify yourself.


The only thing you can do is to remain authentic, improve and provide value every day, and know that the growing number of “haters” means that you are doing important things.

:
10. No Need To Control Everything :

“Some things are up to us, and some things are not up to us.” — Epictetus, Stoic philosopher

Differentiating these two is important.

Detach from the things you cannot control, and focus on the ones you can, and know that sometimes, the only thing you will be able to control is your attitude towards something.

Remember, nobody can be frustrated while saying “Bubbles” in an angry voice.
