Today, I came across an
insightful article that I cannot help but share with you all. We all have
goals, dreams, desires, wishes, ambition…the list goes on and on. While our
dream and aspirations differ, we have one thing in common—we desire to succeed.
Our end goal is to thrive; to stand out. We want to be able to say that we
started something and finished it. We want to be able to say that we are a
SUCCESS. Here are five keys to success that I think you will find beneficial.
1. Preparation
“The
secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it
comes.”
~Benjamin
Disraeli
Success loves preparation. If the perfect
opportunity presented itself today, would you
To succeed, you must be ready when opportunity
comes. Spend your time preparing for success, when your opportunity comes,
you’ll be glad you did.
2. Work
“Success
is simply a matter of luck. Ask any failure.” ~Anonymous
All failures know that success is simply a
matter of luck, they know it’s just a matter of being at the right place at the
right time, they know with assurance that success is directly linked to good
ole fashion chance.
However, those who have succeeded know that
success is directly and proportionally linked to work. Even an amazing strategy
can’t guarantee success. Zig Ziglar said, “The most practical, beautiful,
workable philosophy in the world won’t work – if you won’t.”
You have to put in the time. However, when you
put in the time, it makes success all the more sweet. When you come from
“behind” and do the impossible, it makes success as sweet as a honeycomb. John
H. Johnson said, “I believe the greater the handicap, the greater the triumph.”
3.
Remember the Golden Rule
“Success
is still the constant application of the Golden Rule.” ~Anonymous
Never forget the golden rule, “Do unto others as
you would have them do unto you.” That’s the key to success. Serve your clients
as you would have them serve you. Meet their needs as you would have them meet
your needs. Give them prices that you would want to pay, exceed their
expectations in a way that you would want your expectations to be exceeded.
When you follow the golden rule, you open the
door to success.
4.
Confidence
“Confidence
is the companion of success.” ~Anonymous
If you don’t believe in your abilities, don’t be
surprised if no one else does either. Your negative thoughts about yourself
send a signal throughout the world that others pick up on and respond
accordingly. If you’re broadcasting the station “Depression 108.7” then others
will treat you like you’re depressed.
But, when you believe in yourself and your
potential, people pick up that signal, and they will treat you according to how
they believe, you believe, you should be treated. Did you get that?
5. Lead
“A most
important key to successful leadership is your ability to direct and challenge
the very best that is in those whom you lead.” ~Anonymous
To be successful you must be a great leader.
There’s probably nothing more difficult than being a great leader. It’s easy to
be selfish, it’s easy to only be concerned with your needs, your wants and your
desires. But to succeed you have to lead! You have to do what’s best for the
people; you must bring the best out of those in whom you lead.
When you really lead, you will succeed.
