How To Succeed At Anything!

36 replies
Today I am going to share with you something that is so obvious but you may not have thought about when it comes to achieve success in your life.

First of all, success is a definition that is different from person to person. One person may feel successful when he makes $1 million dollar, while the other might feel successful when he has free time to spend with his or her family. But whatever success mean to, I can help you achieve it!

Follow people that already have the success you desire

This is so simple, especially in today's age (information age) where you have access to libraries, bookstores and the Internet. If you know a person that has the success you desire just connect with them and ask them what they did to succeed. And if you don't know the person just introduce yourself and compliment them and ask them what they did to succeed. You might even get an introduction through a friend or colleague.


If the person is a public figure you can make a quick search on the internet and connect with them through their website. If they have written a book or article on how to achieve the success they have achieved go and get it. There are public libraries and bookstores you can get access to even if you are homeless!


If you have any type of problem or facing a major challenge in your life, go and find a book that has the solution. It is so easy to follow the footsteps of a person that has already gone through the problem or challenge before you,. You don't need too. This is so simple, yet the vast majority of the people haven't even thought about it.

Surround Yourself With Successful People

This has to do with the things that I have written above. If you found a person that has the success you desire and start spending time with them and see how they think and what they do. If you want to become a millionaire, I can guarantee you that he or she doesn't think or doing the things that a broke person does.


If the person is a public figure go and get every book her or she has written, read their blog and their articles. Get in the mindset of that person and you will soon realize that you will start to think as a successful person. Every successful person has a mentor that supports them on they journey toward success so surround yourself with success models everyday whether it be in person, by phone/mail, books, tapes or audio books/programs.


What I just have shared with you is how to succeed at anything by following the people that have the success you desire and surrounding yourself with them on a daily basis. It is now up to you if you will implement what you have learned here today, the choice is entirely up to you.


Successfully,

      If you really want to learn how to be successful in life you're going to have to face up to who you are today in order to become the person you want to be tomorrow. You must examine your thoughts, actions, beliefs, emotions, and who you surround yourself with.

    Thank you for your feedback. I agree 100% that hard-work & devotion also is required for success.
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[3170113].message }}
    • Agree with what you said but it still takes a lot of work and persistence to become as successfull as the people you surround yourself with. Just hanging out with them will still not bring you forward, just like visualizing things but not taking action doesn't get results either.
      Good post though, and thanks for sharing

    Hey,

    Thanks for the awesome thread!

    I totally agree with the part about sorrounding yourself with successful people. That is a must if you want to be successful at anything. The people you hang around will have a huge impact on your overall success.

    Association Breads Assimilation.

    When you learn that and choose a crowd of people that project you in the right direction you will start becoming even more successful. Its all up to who you decide to hang around.

    Thanks again!

    God bless,
    William Veasley

    Like it! Thank you for the good info. You show some great people in your videos on your website. Harv Ecker comes to mind when I looked at your site - I have tried to mentor Harv Ecker. He has some powerful stuff & highly recommend attending one of his Millionaire Mind Intensive sessions - no charge. He seems to dovetail nicely into your Pagen interviews.

    The only problem is the people you respect and look up to are so far beyond your reach you can't even sniff their shirt. Then you find yourself an endless wheel like that of a hamster.

    Definitely a must to connect with like-minded people.

    A key element is also the belief in your goals. Having that unwavering doubt about the results you wish to achieve gives you an edge.

    Positivity plays a major role in success.

    I often reflect on the story of the top salesman of a company who was socializing and mixing with other salespeople at a conference. Just a few moments interacting with a group of people who were bitching about a particular policy, the salesman swiftly spun on his heels and headed for fresh air on the balcony.

    One of the younger sales reps approached him and asked, "Sir, why did you cut out of that conversation so abruptly. The others are wondering what's wrong?"

    He turned and looked at the young man and said, "It's simple. It's the secret to my successes--I just don't do negative."

    yeah, many say success is contagious but it works just like that: you change your mindset and start thinking positively. That, in turn, changes everything around you for better.

    Thanks for reminding!

      I agree with all above, but I also believe there is something missing. And that is to level the playing field. Which means one can never truly succeed until they believe they can succeed. That's why I teach that the first step is to eliminate the fundamental beliefs we all gain in childhood that keep us from succeeding. "I'm not good enough." "I'm not capable." "Change is hard and it takes a long time". These are beliefs that can cause us to sabotage ourselves. They are subconscious, and override all our positive efforts.

      What I teach in my self-development course is to first eliminate the fundamental negative beliefs that we learned beginning before we learned to talk. I am not the expert in this, but I recommend Morty Lefkoe at ReCreate Your Life (of course, this is not an affiliate link). Eliminate these common limiting belief, then the rest of the advice here can take root.

      Just my two cents.

    Nice thread my friend, great replies.

    I totally align with following people you want to emulate.

    I'm also a fanatic of modeling both the mental elements and action strategies of effective people.

    Not for the purposes of replication, but for the purposes of pulling quality traits and actions for successful people and molding them with your own unique input and character traits.

    Very behaviorally analytical, but super helpful considering some of my goals (I plan to take over the world some day, LOL)!

    At any rate, nice thread, awesome replies.
