A Big Success Secret!
Okay, so You wanna know what the Big Secret is to propelling yourself into the Success Stratosphere?
Unfortunately, I have some bad news for you.
If you've come looking for a shiny product to purchase, I haven't got one for ya.
You see, there isn't just one Secret that will get you to the "promised land."
For what it's worth, what I have found is that there really aren't any Big Secrets after all.
Sure technology always forces us to invent new methods or to adapt current methods to technology's pace. That is par for the course. The foundational methods and strategies used for success however should always be the same. Most successful people will tell you that.
In the interest of brevity i have provided an easy list for your perusal. If you like what you read, say so - if you feel like adding to this list do so
SUCCESS SECRETS:
1) re-program yourself for success - don't let preconceived notions bog you down - there is no "guidebook" as to who you Should be, what you should become, and ultimately what you should do with your life.
Learn about yourself - it is a journey - be open-minded and willing to work and learn
2) believe in yourself - if for no other reason than if you don't, you will never succeed - if you are here reading this, then it is obvious that you are past the first step - you are looking to change, heck you are CRAVING it - don't give up now - you are YOUR ONLY option
3) find a system or vessel or approach that has worked for others and stay the course - USE CASE STUDIES - many times they tend to lead to a shortcut ... or ten
3 (a) in the same vein DONT OPT FOR EASY WAYS OUT or PUSH BUTTON MIRACLES - Success will follow ... for those who are selling you the push button miracle product, but you will be left broke and probably with broken software
If you are willing to learn, DONT BE AFRAID OF WORK - You Learn by working through problems - if you work through problems you build character and learn patience, which this day and age seems like a dirty word! so, be Patient and be willing to Work
4) stay focused - don't get distracted - put the blinders on and keep moving forward - no jumping to the next new shiny thing - kind of strange for me to mention this on the Warrior Forum where there exists such a thing as WSO of the Day! So, pick ONE STRATEGY and stick with it for at least a month - if you arent having any positive traction, refine your approach. If after some tinkering you have found yourself to be going nowhere, then scrap it and start from scratch. Take solace however, you have indeed learned from your experience
5) once you have committed see it through - be determined - why did you start this journey, certainly not to turn back?
If you have a knack for jumping ship midway through something, then you will never succeed with any online venture, IM or otherwise
Stick with it - you might surprise yourself with what a little tenacity and persistence will bring forth
6) don't be afraid to tinker your way to success - only modify heavily if something isn't working right or if it is failing you miserably
conversely, is something is working pretty good for you, don't muck it up by attempting to reinvent the wheel
7) don't be fearful of failure - DON'T FEAR FAILURE - FAIL TO FEAR! Again, don't be stupid with this - there is fear of taking action, and then just plain old common sense, or lack thereof - you fear taking action because you have never started a website before, even though you own 10 WSOs on Word Press site creation, well then all i can say is that you have too much time on your hands and more money than you know what to do with.
Put the Kindle down, click off of the PDF guide, and get to building your site
7 (a) Take Action - research and study is fine but it will get you Nowhere if you DONT TAKE ACTION - Paralysis by Analysis is very real - how many folks have had great ideas, but they thought to themselves "its go to be perfect before I ... (launch the site, create the eBook, etc) to only come to the realization that 5 years have passed and you are in the same situation financially that you were in 5 years ago, or worse YOU JUST LOST 5 YEARS of Potential Profits to ANALYSIS PARALYSIS - Really? Why?
8) Be open to modeling successful folks - Find a Distance Mentor or someone that you feel that has attained the success in the field or area you want to involve yourself in. A common trait that most successful folks have is knowledge about themselves. THEY KNOW THAT No One Person Knows Everything about Anything.
Let me put it to you this way - the most successful people in IM usually do not know everything about the industry or niche or whatever the heck it is they are involved in. The MOST SUCCESSFUL Folks usually partner up, are smart enough to take action QUICKLY, and Have a Good Gage on their strengths and weaknesses.
Many have learned the art of delegating tasks and time consuming responsibilities to others - now known as "outsourcing."
Take action, get started, have some success and then outsource to grow yourself even more.
8 (a) NETWORK NETWORK NETWORK - im not just talking computer networks, or the internet, although there do exist forums both online and offline for you to network on. Meet like minded folks with the same or similar passions - seek out those who may have achieved a modicum of success and hang with them - offer them assistance, logistical or otherwise and see if you can't help them grow their ventures - as they grow, your knowledge will grow and you will be seen as a partner - kind of like an apprenticeship
9) Stay Humble
As You Grow to be a Successful Professional - Never Forget where you started
Stay rooted and grounded and you will find that the normal roller-coaster ride that many "instant success stories" experience will instead be a smooth and straight-line transition; at the very least you will be ready for most setbacks when they do come - and trust me, they do come
10) Take pride in your accomplishments
This might seem anathema to #9 - but believe me its not - If you have toiled your way to the top THERE IS NOTHING WRONG with puffing your chest out and patting yourself on the back for a job well done. Going to extremes and boasting is where we part ways
11) GIVE BACK
We all start form somewhere - don't lose sight of that. When you are at the apex and looking down at the newbies trying to find their way, make it a point to encourage and educate. No One gets very far without some help. Be a mentor - give words of encouragement - help someone out.
I'm not saying to "give folks the fish," but at the very least point them to the right lake or show them the best fishing rod manufacturer
12) BE SELF-LESS - Start or Contribute to a worthwhile cause
We are all in this to make a better life for ourselves and our family, present and future - I know that is why I signed up here - to learn and grow. In my personal and professional life, I have attained satisfaction of the greatest degree in helping others - as you grow financially and professionally, make it a point to contribute to a worthwhile cause. The satisfaction you attain out of giving of yourself and aiding those in need spans and exceeds the physical capacity for joy. What do I mean by this? I am a firm believer in karmic energy - no I am not a "new age hippy" or anything like that - I believe in positive energy and I try to contribute to the positive side of the balance on the karmic universal scale - however small my contributions are - Do it and take pride in it -
WHATEVER YOU DO - Take Action - take action today!
Even if it is a small step, say getting a domain name and hosting account, or completing the niche research you have been planning on starting! Get it down - small steps Lead to Big Successes!
Start your journey to success NOW!
- A Journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step -
