10 STEPS TO SUCCESS

1.      Find your passion. What do you love to do? What makes you burn? Figure this out first.

2.      Find out what you are good at. Forget about your weaknesses and focus on your strengths. Are you good at drawing? Public Speaking? Dancing? Your strengths will lead you to what you are MADE to do. Focus on them.

3.      Visualize. What do you want to be 10 years from now? Create the scene in your mind. The clearer the vision, the more probable it is that you will actually achieve it. Your mind is a powerful weapon that you can either use for you or against you. Your choice.

4.      Set goals. It has been said that goals are dreams with a deadline. If you dream…and dream…and dream…without actually doing anything, your dreams aren’t really dreams. They are mere illusions. Goal setting will make you see clearly what you intend to achieve in a certain amount of time.

5.      Make a plan. People who fail to plan, plan to fail. No one can get anywhere in life without a concrete plan. So make one and stick to it.

6.      Follow the plan. Most people make a plan but do not follow through. After a couple of set backs, they just give up. You won’t get anywhere if you have this attitude. Perseverance is one key to success.

7.      Be flexible. There are many ways to achieve your goals. You do not have to stick to one way. Learn to bend so you don’t break.

8.      Get a mentor. Mentors are essential to success. They can help you achieve your goals faster. Whatever you want to do, whether it is climbing Mt Everest or being a wildly successful real estate investor (hey, this happens to be my goal!), chances are somebody has already been there and done that. Find that person and be willing to learn.

9.      Form a team. You can only get so far by yourself. If you want to achieve a big goal, you will need a great team.

10.  Stay positive. A good attitude contributes to 90% of success. Stay away from negative people. They will only corrupt your thinking and drag you down. Instead, bond with positive people. Attitude is contagious. Be happy!
