Success is a relative concept. For everyone, a successful life is their own. Someone wants to become president, someone wants to get $ 100, 000 a month without doing anything, and for someone success is the achievement of his children. And we will proceed from the fact that success is the achievement of our goal. And to achieve the goal is impossible without certain qualities.
1. Set a specific goal. Success comes to someone who knows for sure what he needs. If your goal is too global, break it into several micro-goals and achieve each item.
2. Plan and reflect. Use any free minute to plan your next activities. And when you get down to business, you will firmly know what to do.
3. Bring it all to the end. The main sign of successful people is completed projects. You can stop halfway to the goal for various reasons - due to difficulties, due to laziness, lack of motivation, or for some other reason. But one should not retreat halfway. On the other hand, if the task is too much for you, a series of failures overtakes you - it’s better to retreat for now, and not be like a donkey breaking a wall with his forehead.
4. Do not give up before difficulties. As Nietzsche said, "everything that does not kill us makes us stronger." Difficulties only reinforce character. If you set a goal, no difficulties will stop you. And overcoming obstacles is a new experience for successful plans.
5. Do not be afraid to make mistakes. Mistakes are also an experience. Success does not come on its own. You have to pay for success with failures. As Edison liked to repeat with another failure, "I now know 99 ways how not to invent a light bulb. It remains to find 1 way to do this."
6. Do not despair under any circumstances. Despair, lack of hope, disbelief in one's own strength are the lot of losers. Successful people always remain optimistic, look to the future with hope and do not reproach themselves for past blunders.
7. Do not blame others for your failures. Only you are guilty of your failures. This is a bad tone - blame your troubles on others. Think about why you did not succeed, draw conclusions and make yourself better.
8. Do not be afraid to start over. If you start something the second, third or even hundredth time - it is not from scratch. You have experience on how to do it is no longer necessary. Therefore, in any case, starting from scratch will fail. Just do not repeat past mistakes.
9. Do not reproach yourself for the past. You should not dig "in dirty linen" of past failures. So you will never have self-confidence. Of course, mistakes should not be ignored. It is better to draw conclusions on how to avoid them in the future, and success worth remembering at your leisure.
10. Do the work in sequence. Do not take up a hundred things at once - you are not Julius Caesar. It is proved that the human brain copes with multitasking poorly. Therefore, it is better to complete one thing in a quality manner, and then set to work on another. And success will come.
11. Give work a specific time every day. If you have a goal, for example, writing the coolest blog on a computer theme, devote a certain time to writing posts every day. Notify your neighbors that you work, for example, 1 hour from 19.00 to 20.00 so that they do not bother you, and really work at this time. Only consistency will help you complete the job - and succeed.
12. Start with a draft. If you can’t do something “completely” (for example, draw up a business plan or write a new chapter in the book), this is no reason to postpone the matter. Write at least a draft. Next time there will already be a "base", based on which you will make a "belovik".
13. Put things in order in time, kill the chronophages. Think about how much time you spend talking on social networks, games, talking with neighbors, watching television? Eliminate all this - and you will have time for real things. Successful people appreciate every minute.
14. Read more. Yes, reading develops our mind. Reading good literature not only enriches our vocabulary, but also develops the imagination and teaches the basics of human psychology. All this, of course, is necessary for a successful person.
15. Feel free to ask. A successful leader is not a know-it-all, but someone who is not afraid to ask and learn new things. Sometimes subordinates can teach their boss a lot.
16. Continue your training. You graduated from school and college - is that all? No, our time requires versatility from a person. To succeed, you have to understand many things. Do not get hung up on one. Now there are many different courses and seminars. It is worth getting a couple of additional diplomas or even a degree.
17. If you do not want to do anything, do nothing! Do not force your brain. If your head wants to relax, rest. Listen to good music, watch an interesting movie, take a walk with your family in the forest. Remember: horses die from work. And you are far from a horse.
18. Eat right. Food should be balanced. Then the necessary substances enter the brain, and nothing superfluous is deposited under the skin. A healthy body is the key to a healthy mind - and success!
19. Drive more. You can even sign up for the gym. Well, or run in the mornings around the house. Most successful people lead a healthy and active lifestyle. And no bad habits!
20. Engage friends and acquaintances in your work. Tell us about your goals and plans of others, ask about their goals. Maybe you can help each other? It will be just great - you will have a team. A team is easier to achieve success.
21. Do not do work just for the money. Money is not enough motivation. Work should be fun. You must feel that you are benefiting people. Quickie quickly gets bored.
22. Make money work for you. If one of your goals is money, don’t save them and sit on them like Plyushkin. Money should make money. Put them into circulation, let the money help you achieve your goal and become successful.
23. Do not forget about yourself and your family. Everything you do should make sense. Your goal is not the meaning of your existence, your success is only a component of a full life. The main focus should be on you and your family. And for whom do you succeed?
24. Get rid of bad habits. Smoking, alcohol, especially drug addiction - the road to nowhere. With them, success cannot be achieved. All this needs to be thrown. And keep healthy!
25. Smile more often! If you smile, others will reach you. And you yourself will be fine at heart. And with joy in your heart, success is easier!
