More Secrets To A Successful Career in Business and Life

This is a continuation of my article on 'Learn My Secrets To A Successful Career In Business and Life'

My previous post I left off on the principles of creating detailed plans to achieve your goals. Once you have a list of activities to create your plan then it's time to organize/prioritize them by priority. The one key question you should always ask yourself prior to starting an activity is 'What is the most valuable use of my time'? The Pareto principal says 80 of your results will come from 20% of your activities. This simply means that 20% of all your activities will produce the greatest value to your results in business and life. Just by setting goals, creating the plans, and organizing/prioritizing your plans, you move yourself into the top 3% of people in this world.

The next principle is your creativity and imagination. If you keep on doing the same thing over and over, then you will continue to get the same results. I you want different results then develop the habit of trying something new for the rest of your life. This will insure, along with the other principles, you get to the top of your career. Take some quiet time every single day and ask yourself 'How can I do this differently or make it better, faster, and cheaper?' Statistics show that if you just embrace one new idea it could propel you and your organization ahead 5 years because you simply implemented it faster than your competitors.

In my next post I will talk about other success principles including continuous learning, a positive mental attitude (PMA) and persistence.

    this is the stuff that separates the boys from the men in internet marketing.

    I still feel I am a dummy in many areas of IM but I make a great living because I have the mental discipline, mindset, and creativity needed to get ahead. Too many people focus on learning more and more about the technical areas of IM whereas they should be focusing on the principles you discuss...the soft principles.

    powerful stuff

    Very well said! It takes a lot of discipline to succeed in online marketing, or every business opportunity for that matter.

    absolutely like my post earlier the 2 most powerful questions you can ask is how can I and what can I do? How can I accomplish x what can I do to get x?

    This opens your mind up to creativity to put that into action. Like I always say get the right knowledge, take immediate action, and provide phenomenal value to everyone and success is attracted to you.
