Im trying to help as many people as I can, contact me anytime.

The secret to success is positive thinking, self motivation, focus, passion and to be self aware....

Success is no secret. It is merely a created system that is simple to use and follow. Along the way, you modify to your best practices. It is like a vehicle, you or someone else could be the driver driving or riding to your destination called SUCCESS. It is a matter of whether you want to do it or not.

I wake up every day and can't wait to get to my computer. Success comes to those who persue it with a passion.

Everyone has views on the "Secret to Success". Throughout my life, Success has been a goal that has captured my mind and has instilled in me a Burning Desire to Succeed. I've learned and realized that, in order for someone to become successful they have to Let go of their Fears. Fear has hindered millions of people from taking ACTION and living out their DREAMS. You must Face your Biggest Fears and accept them and then go BEYOND them.
In addition to conquering your fears you must place a mental picture in your mind of Actually SEEING yourself BEING Successful and enjoying everything that it brings with it. Success has to be an obsession. It has to be combined with a BURNING "White Heat" of the unbreakable Desire to Succeed. As many of the most Successful leaders and people in the history of our world have demonstrated, we MUST BURN All Bridges behind us and promise ourselves that we will Never Give Up on our quest to reach our dreams of Success no matter what adversity or obstacle we may face. A situation that may vividly illustrate this for you is one of which I love and cherish:

This story is of a great warrior who was faced a situation which made it necessary for him to make a decision to achieve the Success on the battlefield. He and his men were up against a powerful enemy, who outnumbered his army. But this warrior would NOT accept Failure as an option. So he ordered his ships to be burnt and told his men, "You see the boats going up in smoke. That means that we cannot leave these shores alive unless we win! We now have no choice--we win--or we perish!". They won.

So, we have to go ALL in and leave no option for Failure. However, as we all know Failure in any endeavor or challenge is Inevitable. This is why we must FAIL OUR WAY TO THE TOP. We cannot linger on the short-term dissapointments and failures we face. We must continue to Face our Fears, take risks and challenges. We must move from one failure to the next, moving forward and in a positive direction every step of the way.

Success begins with a burning desire combined with the emotions of Faith and a DEFINITE Purpose performed through an EXACT Plan.

I hope you have gained a little spark to urge you to go after Success and Burn All bridges behind you. Hold Nothing back and you will surely be met with your heart's desire.

In my opinion the secret to succes is very simple. The only thing you have to do is to work hard and to impress the people around you. Also you have to be fair in all you do.

Carpe diem - How else can one succeed when their focus is either on the past or future?

The secret to success is not your resources, but rather it is your resourcefullness combined with direction, and with determination.

But, you have to realize, even with that, you will never truly be successful, because success is a journey, not a destination.

Taking 100% responsibility for your own life.

We have been conditioned to blame outside ourselves, and believe that we are entitled to a great life, and that someone, somewhere, somehow, (certainly not us), is responsible for filling our lives with continual happiness, success, blissful relationships, etc.

Stop looking outside yourself for the answers to why you haven't created the life and results you want, for it is you who creates the quality of the life you lead and the results you produce.

Having a clear goal.

Deciding that you're going to have that goal, and that "failure isn't an option".

Working smart and hard.

Surrounding yourself with successful people so that you can lean from them and take on their attitudes.

And yes, visualization. Seeing it before you have it.

Work smart and work hard.

And don't let the unimportant things in life become important

Success


Success = Happiness

Happiness = What ever you want it to be

The key would probably be knowing what you want, organizing, and implementing. I think those three are the winning combination.

Its discipline.. 100% of the time..

The secrets to success:
First= you have to think hard of what your goal is
Second= take action and never stop learning
Be persistent and you have to work extra hard, keep focus on your goal/dream.
Learn to deal and communicate to other people effectively.
Follow these steps and surely success is within reach.

Hard work and being responsible is one of the key of being success.

I thing the secret to success is,
Do more than others
Work more than others
Expect less to others
Know more than others

Nice thread.. the discussion on success is never ending and the secret to success is different for different people. Success is journey and not a destination. Success to most of the people comes from DISCIPLINE and ACTION. Discipline makes you be on track for the right action to success. Thanks and Good luck.

Focusing your mind on the results you want to create (instead of focusing on the things you don't want) is very important.

I think there is something to that whole "Law of Attraction" thing...

Hard work plus a dose of Luck !

Proper planning with consistent efforts is the secret to success.

Never give up and grasp opportunities

Act as though it were impossible to fail. If you could do anything you wanted and were guaranteed to succeed, what would you do? Set goals and work steadily towards them.

Your thoughts are powerful, so don't focus on what you don't want. Instead, constantly shift your thoughts back to what you do want.

Establishing Your Life Purpose & Confidently Setting Goals Will Secure Your Happiness & Success!

Success starts with knowing what you want in life, what your Life Purpose is. Once you know what your heart truly wants, you then set goals and apply some strategic action steps to get there.

Chip in some visualization and Law of Attraction, backed up with hard strategic work, and you're set to success!

Look around you, all succesfull people started with knowing what it is they really wanted to do (knowing their life purpose), then they followed through...and got there!

Here is something cool to think about during these difficult times...

When doing battle with disheartened feelings, take a look at this man's 'potted bio' and reflect on his record of failure. It is a testament to how humans can learn and grow and win despite the losses and defeats.

When I researched the 'bio' of this man Nietzsche's words resonated vociferously in my mind:

"whatever does not kill me makes me stronger"


Failed in business-------------------------------------1831
Defeated for legislature------------------------------1832
Failed in business again----------------------------1833
Elected to legislature---------------------------------1834
Sweetheart died----------------------------------------1835
Nervous breakdown------------------------------------1836

Who was he?

He was a simple, uneducated, country boy who refused to allow his unpleasant circumstances stop him. He refused to be a victim. He refused to accept failure. He refused to listen to people who told him he was crazy. He refused to stay down when he felt like nothing was going his way.

Simply put, he picked himself up no matter what and kept on going after his dream.

He educated himself and did whatever it took to keep moving in the direction of his passions.

Who was he?

Abraham Lincoln.

If you reflect back on your life, you can find patterns of the times you grew the most. Many of those times were probably a result of some kind of previous 'failure,' maybe even a series of them.

Remember: children don't fail when they are learning to walk. They fall down over and over again. It is the falling that teaches them and strengthens them.

Each failure is a learning experience. And the faster people pick themselves up, reflect on the past occurrence and go again, the faster they can achieve their goals and dreams.

So with this in mind, choose the one thing that may not be going exactly as you wish right now and do one thing to move you closer to achieving the result you want. And remember, life is about learning and growing.

Something to consider in the quest for success I think guys....?

Garry.

This reminds me of a book called The Silva Mind Control Method. Its a very good book and suggest it. Try it out! It gives some great mind exercises to do. Well, if you can unplug from the mighty internet!

I think the secret of success is in understanding that its a journey and not a destination. It happens through sheer discipline in life and action on the ideas one has. Every individual can achieve success in whatever he desires too but with discipline and continuous action. Thanks

Having a clear plan of action and sticking to it.

There is no one thing, it's a series of things you do every day without fail. Have clear vision of what it is you want; the overall big picture and the steps along the way. Get up every morning early and meditate and visualize on the goals you want, already feeling them as true now. Exercise and move your body, breathe deeply and eat healthily everyday; a healthy body results in high energy, an efficient mind and a happy mood!
Make a list of what you need to do every day, and focus wholly and completely on each respective task, do it to the best of your ability and do not lose focus or move onto the next step until you have completed it.
Dale Carnegie said "If you can't do great things, do every small thing in a great way".. or something to that effect!
Persevere through the tough times with full belief that you will absolutely succeed and don't listen to either the negativity from other or from your own mind.
Push yourself and get comfortable with being uncomfortable. To achieve a better life and add more value to yourself means doing new things you have never done before, which inevitably means getting uncomfortable.
Take yourself lightly and don't be too serious, have fun with what you're doing, enjoy every step along the way and see every challenge as an opportunity for growth, not a set back.
Personal development everyday; expand your mind with personal development from the masters and compound your learning curb by modelling yourself on the successful who have already succeeded in your field.
Watch your friends because your income will be within 10% of the 10 closest people to you, don't let the influence of well-meaning others hold you back.
Mastermind with millionaires; attend seminars, make friends and alliances, listen to audios of the super wealthy who are teaching you how to get there.

The secret of success?

First, you need to understand what is success for you?

If success for you is, for example money, it is important to understand that nothing of this world is not eternal. Since you will not forever be rich. Everything will pass. Even you. For me the success is experimenting with different things in life and current experience of magical moments.

Playing with life, that is success.

Take massive action, and stay objective. Don't get emotional about poor results. Use analytics whenever possible.

My simple secret to success... Visualize then Actualize. Make the reflection of your inner world become your outer world.

The Scientific Formula of Success:

Step 1: See your Target

For this you need clear vision. Most failure begins and ends at this step

Step 2: Keep it in Your Sights

You need to focus your attention and your energy on achieving your target. The biggest problem with this step is that we divert varying attention away from out target and this usually prevents us from hitting it.

Step 3: Hit It (Until You Hit It)

By following a straight path to you target you will achieve it. The problem here is the we divert from the straight line and takes some detours on our way. Sometimes we get completely lost. Other time we just take longer to get there.

This comes directly from the second signature file below

My secret? S.P.A.R.E.D.

Simple Positive Actions Repeated Every Day ...

I have my 3 major goals that I'm working on broken down into manageable pieces, and I take at least 1 step forward toward each piece each day.

Works great for me ...

Best,
Scott

First define success... Is it drying with the most toys or what?

My definition is simple. Success = Happiness!

What's necessary for happiness?

One thing - ATTITUDE

"A happy person is not a person in a certain
set of circumstances but rather a person with
a certain set of attitudes."

Think about it... Do you really need more money, power, sex or material possessions to be happy?

If you believe the answer is YES... then happiness will always be a few steps ahead of you until the day you die. If you think the answer is no - Then what needs to happen for you to be successful and happy?

Happiness is the way and Attitude Creates Happiness - That's The Real Secret!

Read Unhappiness & Depression by Bruce Di Marsico for a better understanding of the importance of attitude!


Cheers,
Steve

Picasso said - "Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle
of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and
upon which we must vigorously act. There is no
other route to success."

Thus, there is no secret to success. Only our actions will dictate whether we achieve success or not.

It depends on ones definition of success. The one that is the happiest is the most successful.

Accurate action.

I liked all the great posts on this thread. I believe that failure can be a great teacher. When you experience no results, or minimal results from your efforts, examine what can be done differently. When you try again, you'll probably experience better results.

The secret to a healthy and fruitful life is knowing what it is that you really want. Once you know that, everything else will pale in comparison.

I got the same thing to say as the guy below : HOW BAD DO YOU F!@¢@ WANT IT?!?

http://www.youtube.com/v/5fsm-QbN9r8&hl=fr_FR&fs=1& . Watch it . You'll thank me for it

Success begins with the Word of God. Joshua 1:8

I agree with you that the first secret has got to be the most important. This is a topic that really interests me. I am becoming more and more convinced that we are surely only limited by our own thoughts. I have just started writing myself and it is sometimes hard to stay positive.

Praying, workhard, motivation, family...

To earn someone's trust is surely an honour beyond measure; therefore, it is unsurprisingly one of the most fundamental elements of a strong and successful.

Affirmations, visualizations and meditations.

* perseverance
* confidence
* responsibility
* consequence

According to a study of successful people are the most important features : )
