To create your ultimate success there will be sacrifice involved. You will also need to create a step-by-step, detailed action plan to follow. This book will share ideas on how to accomplish that success. First and foremost you need to decide specifically on the dream, life, or goal, that you want to create. It never ceases to amaze me that people will spend countless hours researching a purchase of a refrigerator or a washer and dryer, new golf clubs, where they want to vacation, but when it comes to their dream, their goals, their life, no one really takes the time to think about it, or plan for it. Benjamin Franklin once said that some people die at age 25 and aren’t buried until 75. Meaning our dreams, our vision, and our hopes can die so young. Once we jump into the work force, we come to the realization that we are working paycheck to paycheck for the rest of our lives. Do not lose hope. Recreate and hang onto your dream. Someone out there, right now, is living the life you want. If they can, you can too.
Are you willing to take the time necessary to develop your vision, goal or dream?
Are you willing to develop a written plan to accomplish your success?
Are you willing to evaluate what you are currently doing and change it if necessary to work on the most important things first?
PERSPECTIVE AND BACKGROUND
Based on my work experience, personal experience, and working with thousands of individuals just like you, I finally came to the realization that the one thing missing from the people that have had some success, but remained only average, was the lack of a strong belief and vision of the success they wanted to create. The lack of belief and vision kept them from creating their ultimate success. You must believe in yourself. You must have belief that you deserve the success you want in life. To have huge success with your job, you must have belief in your company, product or service. Without belief, the time-proven principles of success will only grant you mediocre success. Your success will level out at your level of belief.
Here is the question I pose, and will answer in this book by the end: why are some people successful, while other people are not? I’m not sure if you have ever thought about this before. If not, it’s time you did. That question is a very interesting question, don’t you think? I’ve thought about it a lot and that is why I’ve written this book. I personally feel that each and every person that truly believes that they deserve success, applies the principals of success, works hard enough, long enough and effectively enough can and will create the success they desire.
I want to give you some perspective. Let’s go back to the question. Why are some people successful while other people are not? Think about it! If you look at a group of people in a high school or college graduating class, anywhere in the world, after ten or twenty years, some of these people will have created great success while eighty to ninety percent of them have not. Why? What makes the top 3%, 5%, or 10% the top 3%, 5%, 10%? Do they have a vision of the desired success? Do they believe fully that they can achieve the success? Do they believe in themselves? Do they work harder? Do they set goals? Do they create a plan to achieve those goals? Are they more persistent? Are they consistent? Are they committed to their vision? Do they fight through adversity or do they quit short of their goals? Do they strive for excellence in everything they do? The answer is they do all these things and more at a higher level.
In my experience, the biggest difference between the ultra-successful people and everyone else is their belief level. It is their level of belief in themselves, in their business, project or company. These top money earners have a clear vision that they will have success and that they deserve that level of success. Successful people expect to have success. Average people say, “I’ll give it a try and see if it works out for me.”
It is my opinion that the one area of belief above all the others is self-belief and belief that you deserve success. If you don’t believe in yourself and you don’t believe you deserve the success, your mind will never develop the plans to achieve your vision or dream of success. You have basically said to your subconscious that you don’t deserve it so you don’t believe it will happen. Your mind then says you can’t accomplish the vision and shuts down. Now you have a dream without substance. It will remain a wish or dream instead of a goal with a plan. I’m not a psychologist, but I’ve read many books on the mind and how it works. Here is a very simple explanation: everything you do, every action, every move you make, starts with a single thought. Earlier I shared this example: if your thought is “I’m hungry,” you’ll get up, go to the refrigerator and find something to eat. If your thought is, “I cannot succeed, I could never be a millionaire, I could never be promoted at my job,” you are right. Your mind, based on that negative thought “You can’t,” will never create a plan to accomplish those goals. On the other hand, if your thought is, “I will be successful. I will be a millionaire. I will get that promotion,” you are also right. Your mind will then start the process to create ideas, plans, and the action necessary, to reach the goals that you believe in and believe you deserve. In the final analysis, whatever you focus your thoughts on, your dominant thought, is what your mind will plan and create. Whether positive or negative, your mind will carry out whatever you are focusing on.
What thoughts are you focusing on?
What are your goals?
What is your vision of success professionally, financially, personally?
Are your thoughts positive or negative?
It is very important to remember that your conscious mind can only focus on one thought at a time, positive thought or negative thought. It is very important that you keep your focus on the positive side as much as possible. Think thoughts like, “I can accomplish this and I will make this happen.” Larry DiAngi, in his book Overcoming Rejection Will Make You Rich, states that we have 40,000 to 50,000 thoughts daily. Of those thoughts, for most people, 87% are negative thoughts while only 13% are positive thoughts. That means we have between 34,800 and 43,500 negative thoughts daily. That is a staggering statistic. If we change our thinking and work to think more positively, even just a little bit, it will have a huge impact on our success. Your thoughts are your choice.
Are you grateful for your job or do you hate it?
Are you grateful for the home you have or do you wish you had a better one?
Are you grateful for having a car to drive or do you despise getting in it every day?
Change your thoughts and you can change your outcome.
Another perspective I want share, prior to discussing belief and the other success principles, is taking responsibility for where you are in life. This is a must to move forward and create the success you deserve and desire. Everyone, and I do mean everyone, must understand and take responsibility for where they currently are in life. We cannot move forward without doing this. We are all right where we are supposed to be based on the choices we have made in life. Here are examples of what I’m talking about. We choose to go to college or not. We choose to work a certain job or not; we choose to stay at that job or move on somewhere else to a new job; we choose how much effort and time we put into that job to have success. Where we currently live is based on the choices we’ve made. The car we drive is also based on these choices.
Until you are ready to take full responsibility that you are where you are in life based on your choices, you cannot and will not move forward in life toward success. You can’t blame your parents; you can’t blame your teachers; you can’t blame your boss; you can’t blame your coaches. It’s all about СКАЧАТЬ
