“At any given moment in your life, you are in command of yourself…or you are being commanded.” -Guy Finley, author
It’s worth learning, especially from your mistakes. The successful entrepreneur learns to deal with mistakes every day. They look forward to the challenge. It is important to remember that they do not have to know everything. There is always someone they can turn to for assistance, support or technical information.
Experiencing success means that you have to set goals and take the necessary steps to make your goals happen. This learning process continues until you master it. After each failure, you can congratulate yourself for trying and then tell yourself to try again.
Setting goals to achieve success is like climbing a mountain. It takes a long time to get to the top. On the way there may be various obstacles, but you have to move on. Later you may stumble and need to rest. To get to the next level, there may be times when you have to take a different path or get around the obstacle. The last step to the top is crucial and requires all your concentration. Don’t let the hard climb talk you into giving up or setting higher goals. If you enjoy climbing you will eventually make it to the top!
There is power and energy in accomplishment. Develop goals that you are passionate about, and then work to make them a reality. If you don’t reach a goal, find out what you did wrong and try again. You have every right to be successful. Failure means giving up. If your goal is strong enough and you are committed and passionate enough about what you want to achieve, it will happen. Wouldn’t an idea be worthwhile if it helped thousands of people live better, be healthier, save more money, save time, help the environment, create new businesses and employ others?
Successful entrepreneurs have a certain positive mental attitude. They believe in themselves and are convinced that they can live richer and more fulfilling lives. They satisfy their own personal desires for happiness. They are familiar with hard work and responsibility.
Take any business or service that is already established and successful and think of other products or services that can help others in new and different ways. Expand your consciousness; think about success. Develop your need to be creative. Think outside of your normal way of doing, acting, and being. You may be surprised to discover the next invention, the next form of entertainment, or the next wave of technology. Get rid of self-defeating habits and attitudes. Success comes to those who seek it.
Here are some goals you can set to achieve success in your life:
1. What are you passionate about?
Make a list of the things you like to do. Some ideas and types of businesses that may lead you to think about new products, new services, or new inventions may include:
*Travel
* Fitness/Health Care
* Electronics
* Technology/Internet/World Wide Web
* Teaching/instruction workshops
* Public speaking
* Writing: Books/Articles/Poetry/Advertising
* Entertainment/Music/Acting * Gardening/Landscaping
* Interior design; Broadcasting/Television/Radio;
* Spirituality/Inspiration/Self-Improvement
The list is endless.
2. Set goals with specific conditions.
Make your goals possible to achieve. Plan your goals and structure your thoughts around positive actions. If you think your goal is impossible, it will be. However, if you think positively, your goals will be easier to achieve. Refuse to let doubt keep you from your goal. Stay positive and you will reach your goal much faster.
3. Think big, but be realistic.
Every achievement starts with a dream. Make your dream the biggest and the best, then work to make it come true. Write down everything you know about your dream and your desire to make it come true. What you have to do? How soon can you make it happen? Be patient, nothing happens overnight.
4. Make a plan.
Write your dream, idea and your action plan in the present tense: “I am successful”. “I have a successful business.” “My faith is strong and I am hurt financially.” “I’m going to reach my goal.” This helps your mind to visualize the result. Your mind is forced to act as if your dream has already materialized. Your mind works in the present and makes no distinction between what is happening now and what has already happened. Confusion arises when you send your thoughts to the future or the past. The mind can close and stop working on what you want.
5. Establish values in your goals.
What value do you give to your life? In your career? In your business? What excites you? Let your imagination fly. Would you give up your values for someone else’s if it meant losing your character or your faith? Your goals must be valuable to you before they can be met. When you focus on your dream, give it time to grow and develop. It soon becomes a reality.
6. Reward your progress.
When you take the smallest step to achieve your goals, take heart. Congratulate yourself for taking a step toward achieving your goal. There is nothing more rewarding than achieving your goal. When you reach an important milestone, do something for someone else. Celebrate it!
With unlimited opportunities to achieve your dreams and goals; With unlimited access to knowledge, information, instructors, and places to turn for help, there’s no telling what you can accomplish, if you want to! So…
