Do you know what are the keys that will make you successful in life?
You’ll discover the 10 keys to living a successful life below…
1. Clear Vision
Having a clear vision of the kind of successful life you want is the fundamental step to achieving it. If you don’t even know what kind of successful life you want, you can never achieve it.
Unfortunately, this is what happening with most people. Most people don’t know exactly what they want in their life. They will tell you that they want to be successful, but they cannot give you the clear definition of what they mean.
It is the same for those who say that they want to be rich. How rich do you want to be? You need to have a measure and a deadline for it.
2. Persistence
What you need is persistence to achieve your dreams. Never give up even if you fail to achieve the goals you set. Do you know that Thomas Edison failed more than 10,000 times before he finally succeeded inventing the light bulb?
If you give up in the middle of the journey, you’re going to waste all the effort that you have previously poured in.
Persistence is the key that you must master if you want to be successful in life.
3. Commitment
Have the commitment of doing what you have set out. Most people know that if they want to make more money, they will have to make more sales, but they just don’t do it.
Just like you know that if you want to score A in a subject, you need to study and do exercise for that subject. However, most student will just never do that.
Therefore, you need to have the commitment to carry out or to take action to make your goals come true. If you are not committed, you will procrastinate and just let it be.
4. Find A Mentor
Learn from someone who has already achieved the kind of results that you want in your life. For example, if you want to be rich, who are you going to listen to, your teachers and friends who tell you that investing is risky? Or are you going to take the advice from successful investors such as Warren Buffett and Peter Linch?
Don’t listen to the wrong advice given by those who are not successful. Your friends may care about you but if they don’t know a thing about investing, don’t listen to them. Just be friend with them but listen and take advice from other successful investors.
This is what I mean by finding a mentor. If you can learn from someone who is credible or are able to teach you what you want, achieving the outstanding in your life is not something difficult.
My success mentor is Adam Khoo. He is the one who showed me what I can accomplish in my life. And I’m planning to attend one of his workshop this year. Adam is one of the top successful people in Asia and he is teaching the how you can master your mind and design your destiny for success. To learn more about him, visit him at Master Your Mind.
5. Think Positively
This is one of the most common but powerful techniques to live a successful life. Try to notice your thinking pattern, are you thinking the negative or are you thinking about the positive.
Some people will think the negatively and this block them from using their full potential to achieve what they want. It is just like when your boss ask you to go in his room, what do you think he is going to tell you? Are you thinking good thought or negative thought?
You can control your thought by breaking your old thinking habit. First you will have to identify or get conscious about the thought that you are thinking. And if you found that you are thinking negatively, try to focus on positive thoughts.
6. Dare Venture Out Of Your Comfort Zone
Some gurus say that if you want to be rich and successful, you need to do things differently.
What I think is, you don’t necessarily need to do things differently from others, but you must dare to venture out of your comfort zone. If you’re someone who is shy and timid, try to get out of this comfort by getting to know more people.
Some people don’t dare to do this and this causes them to stuck in where they are forever. Just like if you’re living in a small city and you know that you will not have much opportunity if you stay there. And if you want to make some big business deals, you must go to big city.
Do you have the courage to do so? Get to a place where nobody knows you and you’ll be all alone to strive for your future. Are you willing to do that? Do you dare? You need courage to go against the norm and expand your comfort zone to be successful.
7. Network With Other Successful People
Birds of the same feather flock together. How true this is. People who are successful will network and be together with other successful people. Of course, I’m not suggesting that you leave all your friends, but what I’m telling you is to join and get to know more successful friends.
The more you mix with successful people, the more you are going to learn how they think and how they act. Just like if you mix with a bunch of street punks, you’ll eventually think just like them and act like them.
When you see all the people around you are making more than $1 million a year, you will feel unsatisfied and you will feel that you can accomplish much more. When all your friends are making $10,000 a month, but you’re only making $2,000 a month, what will you feel?
This is the importance of mixing with other successful people. You want to create the feeling, the emotion of being the same with them. This is why reading and learning are so important to improve the quality of your lives. My top recommendation, go through Master Your Mind to learn how to design your destiny today.
8. Be Willing To Fail And Turn Failure Into Success
If you’re not someone who is willing to fail, you can never be successful. People learn more from their failures than their successes. Without failure, you can never achieve success.
Babies will learn from failure such as falling from trying to walk. But do they give up? Or did you try to stop them from falling? No! You’re not! You tell them to keep trying until they learn to walk. And this is the reason everyone in this world walks.
However, when doing business or investing, what do you tell yourself? You tell yourself that you cannot afford to fail! Can you see the difference? It is the same in school. Teachers will punish and scold those who fail in school. This is one of the early conditioning that put you to think that failing in life is not something good.
You have to be willing to fail and turn failure to success. Don’t be afraid of failure, learn from your failure and make more wiser choice without giving up. This is how you learn and be successful in life.
9. Rest And Enjoy Life
What is the meaning if you have all the money in the world but have no time or freedom to enjoy life. You don’t need to be a millionaire to enjoy life. You can be happy and enjoy life right now.
This is what separate successful people from ordinary people. Successful people always are passionate with their work. For them, they are enjoying their work. In fact, it is not work to them, it is play, it is fun.
On the other hand, ordinary people will think that it is boring to work. They need to work for living and it is not something fun or enjoyable. This is what kills their passion and they lose the motivation to be the best in their field. You can be successful in every field as long as you have the passion and motivation to be the best.
10. Discover The Final Key By Yourself
You don’t have to learn everything from a book or from here. Sometimes, you can review back what you have done and maybe you will discover the ‘a-ha’ moment by yourself.
Looking back at your results will give you a good indication of what is working and what is not working. You just need to do what is working and improve your strategy to get even more and better results.
These are the 10 keys that every successful people are holding. If you want to be the next successful people, use these keys in your life wisely.
