СКАЧАТЬ The fact is, the more successful a person is, the more adversity they have faced and the problems are bigger that they have had to overcome.

       Are you willing to take responsibility for the choices you have made in life?

       Are you willing to take responsibility for where you are in life based on the choices you have made?

       Are you ready and willing to make a different choice today so you can be in a better place tomorrow?

      LIFE LESSONS

      You must believe that success is something that everyone can achieve. We have been talking about specific success principles and laws that if followed, will produce success for anyone. How far up that ladder of success an individual goes is determined by how strongly they believe in themselves, how clear their vision of success is, how strongly they want to succeed and how hard they work at the principles of success. Some of the attributes necessary to be successful are belief, desire, work ethic, commitment, positive attitude, personal growth and seeking wisdom, taking personal responsibility, excellence, creating a plan, and taking action on that plan consistently and persistently over time.

      Everyone in life has ups and downs. Everyone has trials in their lives that challenge them. Everyone has tragedy in their lives. Successful people have these ups and downs too. The difference is how successful people handle them. They don’t allow these challenges to get them off track. They stay committed to their dreams and goals. Have you ever seen someone living in the house of your dreams? Have you ever seen someone in your dream car? Have you ever seen someone living the lifestyle you want? Why is it that their dreams came true and yours haven’t? The people that are living their dreams are doing so because they have lived by proven success principles. By creating a step by step plan, they turned their dream into their reality. If they can live their dream, why can’t you?

      We are where we are in life because of a series of choices. Our choices are based on our individual perspective. Perspectives can be based on where we were raised, the environment we were raised in and who we hung out with. It’s also based on our belief system in ourselves. There are a few exceptions to this rule, like someone whose father owned a company and they simply took it over; they didn’t really climb to success, they were merely handed their place in life. If that’s not you, then it is time to change your thinking and choose a different direction for your life.

      Here is the beauty of this for you: no matter where you are on your success scale in life, you can change it right now if you want to. I should say, “If you choose to.” If you are where you are in life right now based on the choices you’ve made, you can make a choice today to be in a different place in life tomorrow. Jim Rohn says, “You can’t change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight,” again, with a choice to do so.

       What choices have you made that brought about negative results?

       What did you learn from that choice?

       What choice can you make today to create positive results?

       What choice do you want to make today that will put you in a different place in the future?

      SUCCESS PRINCIPLES

      There are hundreds of books on success along with the basic success principles. I’ve read many of these books and attended many trainings on the subject. I’m not pretending to be an expert, but I have personally applied these basic principles and have acquired a substantial amount of success in my life. So it is my desire to share my perspective and application of these principles with you. Here is a list of some of the principles we will be discussing and showing examples of their use. The main topic of this book is the first on this list, belief. In my experience, without belief, the other principles will only take you so far.

       Belief

       Vision

       Goal Setting/Planning

       Work Ethic

       Perseverance

       Personal Growth/Live Long Learning (Leaders are Readers)

       Affiliations/Building Relationships

       Well-Rounded Life (Body, Soul & Spirit)

       Communication/Listening Skills

       Excellence

       Humility

      This book will discuss most of these principles through real life stories and application for how to take action on them and implement them into your life. The biggest emphasis of this book in the foundation of success is your belief. Remember, without a solid foundation you cannot build your house of success.

      The main story I’m going to share with you is a true life story of success. This is not a Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Lance Armstrong, or Gandhi type of success story. This is a story about someone just like you. It’s about a guy that believed in himself, utilizing this belief system, along with the basic success principles, to create that ultimate success. This success story is about someone I’ve known my entire life – myself! This story will take you through the ups and downs of my life experience. You will see how my belief and the choices I made along the way helped create my success.

      Again, the main point I hope everyone gains from this is the power of belief. I want you to understand that belief is the foundation and starting point toward your success. I want you to realize that everyone including YOU can create ultimate success. To do this you must first believe in yourself, believe it is possible and believe you deserve it. The second thing is you must apply the other proven success principles to your plan and take action. Third, you have to stay the course. You cannot stop short and expect to reach your goals or vision. I don’t golf, but I want to give you a visual example of this idea of stopping short: one hundred percent of every golf putt that is hit short of the hole will not go in. We need to putt it hard enough to go past the hole (set your goal high enough) to have a chance to go in (or achieve your goal). So don’t quit. Don’t stop short of what you desire or deserve.
