Do you have a central premise for success?

A premise (according to Webster) is a statement taken to be true and on which an argument or reasoning may be based.

So, do you have one? Here is one which has served me well for a couple of decades:

"Our results (success) comes from our behaviors and actions we do on a daily basis. We control our actions by conscious awareness of our state of mind while acknowledging a certain percent of life is random and outside of our control."

Can you accept this premise? OR, do you have one of your own?

With this premise, importance is placed on knowing what RESULT you want and when and where you want it, the goal setting model.

As for goals, this premise says a clearly focused goal with deadlines and action steps detailed out, will become a result (manifestation?) of simply doing the daily steps required.

We simply solve problems in the direction of the goal while dealing with the random event which could sidetrack us.

Do you have a central premise for your success? OR, if you have questions regarding this premise, would be glad to answer to the best of my ability.

PS. Our state of mind is the total sum of thoughts (feelings) and physiologies at the moment or in the NOW.

    My premise for success is one that is well known.
    If you help enough other people get what they want, you can have anything you want.
    Although I could certainly be earning more money, my central premise is one of customer service.

    I work as a writer and proofreader. I do every job to the best of my ability, regardless of how much or how little I get paid. If my customers are happy with the end result, then I have earned my money and I am happy.

    I get lots of regular customers and repeat business as well as new business form people who don't know me but just see me in here and elsewhere. I believe I have gained a reputation and that helps me achieve my goal...to help others.

    I know some people have rather convoluted premises they work at but I on the principle of K.I.S.S.
    Keep It Simple Success.

    My premise for success is to try and help others and myself, and to persevere relentlessly, experiment and to use massive amounts of creativity.

    Hi,

    LOVE what you do. Really, really, fall in love with providing some service you enjoy providing....then you will attract the peoples, idea and circumstances to become successful.

    You might reach goals and see nice returns by providing some service you are not in love with but true, lasting, fulfilling, enjoyable success is had by those who enjoy their work and push themselves because they are so in love with what they do.

    Thanks!

      I appreciate all the comments, but let me try this a different way. Certainly no disrespect is intended but most of you have a platitude, which is hqrd to draw reasoning from.

      Zig Ziglar was a great speaker, and he's often given credit for the saying about helping people get what they want to get what you want...however, Zig spent most of his life persuading and influencing and simply SELLING stuff. He gt what he wanted by old world selling and that often came about by persuading people to buy his products and services.

      My premise from which reasoning can be applied simply states that you do have control of your results, so it is important to know what results you want, the goal.

      If you operate without a goal, then you invite outside influences into your life, influences which may not be controlled. There is nothing convoluted about this premise.

      Take laurencewins, who has a skill, and experience, and doesn't need to (apparently) set goals. His business model is writing, not something everyone can do and his sterling reputation keeps him busy. I think this is how a lot of people work who do not necessarily have goals.

      This being th mind forum, I give a premise which is universal, works in China, Africa or India, anywhere where people set goals.

      By controlling your stqte of mind, which by the way has been one of Tony Robbins' mainstays for q quarter of a century now, and very few people think he has convoluted premises...

      If you are goal oriented, if achievement is on your bucket list, then one way you can help yourself is by figuring out what you want and then make a plan for the activities needed to make it happen.

      OR, perhaps you feel that goals are not important and you just go with the flow? Most people can benefit from the premise if willing to invest a little thought into the argument.
