Learn My Secrets To A Successful Career In Business and Life

3 replies
In my last post on 'If You Want To Be Successful In Your Career or Business Then You Must Adapt Successful Habits' I mentioned that I would like to discuss several secrets of success that I implement daily which allows me to achieve the results I want in my life.

There are a number of secrets to success and if you practice them over time your success is virtually guaranteed.

However, if you fail to practice them, then your success in any field of endeavor will be cut short. And if you do succeed without daily, weekly, monthly practice you will be far below of what your true potential is.

To clarify if you do certain things you become a certain type of person. And if you become that certain type of person you will achieve certain type of results.

So, the first success principle is that you must have clear written goals. There was a study done at Harvard University in 1979 with the graduates of their MBA program. They ask them how many of them had clear, written goals and made plans to accomplish them when they left the university? They found that 84% of them had no goals at all. 13% of them surveyed had goals, but did not have them written down. The other 3% had clear, written goals and had detailed plans to achieve them.

They followed up on these students ten years later in 1989 and asked them how much they were earning in their professions. They found out that the 13% who had goals, but did not write them down were earning twice as much as the 84%, who had no goals at all. The 3% who had goals and plans to achieve them were earning 10 times as much as the other 97%. Based on this study it shows that if you don't have clear, specific, written goals you are really limiting your earning potential throughout your life.

The next principle is once you know what you want to achieve then you must create some detailed plans to achieve them. This is just a list of activities that you feel might assist in you achieving your goals. Now to determine your list of activities you can start asking questions like what are some of the obstacles I will have to overcome in order to achieve my goals? What knowledge and skills will I have to acquire? Realize that before you can have something, that you never had before then you'll have to become somebody, you've never been before. Also, another question you can ask is whose help you will need, because nothing of great value has ever been achieved alone.

The above mentioned success principles are just a couple I would like to mention here. My upcoming articles will include more success principles that are key to becoming successful in business and life.

    Thanks for the post with this interesting Harvard study.

    This is certainly one huge thing that I have largely foregone up to this point in my life and I feel that it is also a partial cause of why I have not achieved the success I desire.

    Because I am young it is tough for me to decide my exact specific goals with detailed plans of where I want to be but the picture is becoming more and more clear as I get older and wiser.

    I would recommend goal setting to anybody interested in achieving major success in life but make sure you can commit yourself to your goals and that you're ready to fully pursue them. Until this point goal setting may be a waste of time.

    Keep learning and keep growing until you get to the point where you feel comfortable setting these specific life goals and know where you want life to take you.
