As I always say,success,in this life,is predictable.You will know a person who is headed for success and vice versa.
Now,what are the 3 things that will determine if you succeed in this life or not?
1.Your Mindset
2.Your Attitude
3.Your Relationships
Let me now explain each point to you starting with your mindset.If your mind tells you you cannot succeed in life,I am sorry to say there is nothing that can be done to help you.So,your first point of call,if you want to succeed in this life, is to develop a ‘CAN DO mindset’,a ‘CAN DO mentality’.Take a cue from the several succcess experts that say in their books,speeches,etc:that you can do whatever you set your mind on achieving.It only takes the commitment and discipline to follow through.And remember that famous quote from Henry Ford:”if you think you can,you can,if you think you can’t,you can’t.” Now,how about that for serious thought?
Your attitude also matters if you want to achieve success.Your attitude to these 4 things-work,time,sleep and money matters a lot.
Your attitude to work.Are you the type that is gainfully employed but does not put in enough effort because the business is not yours? Before closing time,you are already at the gate? Or you are just plain lazy and can’t wait for the weekend to come for you to stay at home? Remember this attitude will follow you when you start anything of your own.
Your attitude to time.Are you a time waster or time investor?Do you spend your time doing productive things or unimportant things that don’t contribute in anyway to your bottomline? Are you a social butterfly that must attend every party in town? Have a rethink about how you spend your time from today and don’t forget we’ve just finished a month and moved into another,are you going to sit down and allow the year to slip away without you achieving anything substantial? The ball is in your court.
Your attitude to sleep.Are you the type that believes you must sleep 8 hours a day? You better watch it because that sleep could be a clog in the wheel of your success in life.And for your information,I don’t know any successful person in this life that sleeps for 8 hours a day because while you are sleeping,they are awake,strategizing and thinking of how to push their frontiers further.
Your attitude to money.Do you spend your money or you invest it in shares,stocks,bonds and real estate? The fast food restaurants are your favourite hangouts,no problem but do you know the money you spend there can be invested now for a financially secure future for you and your kids?
Your relationships also matter.What type of people do you move with? Are they idea killers or dream supporters? I have seen people start off businesses and move into financial security all because of their relationships.I am not saying you should turn yourself into a beggar or a leech,just cultivate fruitful relationships,productive relationships and see your success soar beyond your imagination!
