How to be successful in life

Everyone wants to achieve success in their life. But few people are achieving them and most people fail to achieve. Success is more than an idea, it is a state of mind. Although success is relative to each individual, the key to achieving success is the demeanor in which you go about living your life and taking advantage of opportunities that come to you. Whether it be in life or in business, you should never take anything for granted and you should learn how to make the most of the situations that are presented to you. Here are the 08 ways you can be successful in business and in life:

1)      Identify where you are stuck in your life. Take steps toward getting unstuck, even if it means pushing well beyond your comfort zone. Action is the only remedy for fear.

2)      Identify your biggest strengths and make sure you use those strengths in your profession. If you do, it's likely you have found your passion.

3)      Write to achieve. Write down your goals and dreams to declare yourself in the game. It's like holding up an "Open for Business" sign for your life.

4)      Commit to your dreams. Don't be afraid or too proud to make short-term sacrifices to achieve your goals.

5)      Set deadlines. Define a specific timeframe for your goals and take small action steps to meet them.

6)      Realize failures bring about success. Risk is all about trying, getting in the game. You can't succeed if you aren't in the game

7)      Have confidence. Decide you are confident and have a more playful, less serious attitude about life. Most successful people do.

8)      Live every day like it's your last. Be prepared for the end. Ask yourself: Am I ready? Am I doing all I need to do? Am I being the person I want to be?

Finally I like to say: You know the saying, “Yesterday you said tomorrow?” Seriously, stop that! Delaying or procrastinating around something that you think is important means one of two things. You’re either scared to start because it means your life will change or you want it for the wrong reasons. There will be rewards along the way and there will be a great sense of accomplishment at the end.
