21 identified secrets

how to be successful in anything you do in life.

This set of 21 points is given as the success formula to derive at sure-success by anyone.

Succeed in all phases of life; thinking, doing, speaking, listening, planning, managing, leading, working, parenting, loving, serving and much more.

1. Concentrate single-minded on one thing and one thing only at a time

Determine what the 1st priority is at any time and work on that alone
It is easy to do the easy things first and not do the highest pay off task.
The answer to this question determines the priority at any time:
“What is the valuable use of your time right now?”
Doing lots of little things and not doing the main thing does not achieve anything.

2. Be impeccably honest to yourself and to others

This may be a bit difficult to follow at first but if you practice, you will be sure to succeed
Integrity is very essential for success
If you lose integrity or trust, then you have lost all and you have to start all over again
Be honest always.

3. Dream – Big Dreams

Creative visualization
“For your dream to come true, you need to have a dream”
Have a clear, mental picture of what you want to be, no matter what/where you are now.

4. Do what you love to do

Towards getting excellence in that field
Be the Best in at least one field

5. Focus on your unique strengths

You are unique in this world having unique strengths. Develop those strengths
Develop your areas of expertise

6. Accept total responsibility of your life and see yourself as a self-employed person

You don’t work for others. You are always working for yourself
You determine what you want to be and how you want to be
If it has to be, it is up to you.

7. Never consider the possibility of failure

Take that word out of your dictionary
Successful people never face failures. Only
Temporary setbacks
Glitches
Useful learning experiences
Failure is present only when YOU accept it that you have failed
“You are never defeated unless you accept failure as the reality”
Keep on going.

8. Decide exactly as to what you want

Ability to set your goals precisely
Know what you want. Then only, you can get it.
“In life, Goals = Success; Success = Goals”.
Have a clear sense of direction
Have a defined plan to achieve those goals

9. Develop an workaholic mentality

All successful people work long hours (60 hours a week or 12 hours a day) even after achieving the success
“If you don’t succeed at first, TRY HARDER”
“You reap what you sow”
Always you have to give something in order to get something and usually for success, it is the hard work.

10. Get around and Be around the Right People (“master mind” mentality)

Be around the right minded people with clear goals – for the purpose of motivation and success
Associate with winners. Don’t go with the losers.
“Fly with eagles” “If you want to fly like an eagle, don’t fly with the chicken”.

11. Be Teachable

Be open-minded to learn new things
Continuous improvement
Always learn something new
You can’t say that you know it all on any subject at any time. There is always something new to be learnt.
“All turning points in our lives happens on a new information/situation”. True in all the cases.

12. Be prepared to claim from one peak to another peak

Always try to go from one mountain top to another mountain top – via valley
There are many ups and downs in life but your aim should always be to the top.

13. Develop resilience and bounce back

Develop the ability to come back – and come back higher – despite low points
It is not how fare down you go. All matters is how far you come back up.

14. Unlock your inborn Creativity

Develop your imagination
Improve the answers to creativity by clearly focussed questions
Be innovative
Find faster, better, cheaper but superior ways and means
All you need to do is to improve 10% from the existing ones. That will do.
Most of the successes have come in the common life products/services.
The most successful business in USA in all these years is …. ‘dry cleaning’
“If you think you can or you cannot, you are right”.

15. Focus on continuous improvement of your personality and knowledge

There is a ocean of possibilities for improvement
Use the world wide web, library, friends, day-to-day experiences, audio tapes, books, etc. to learn more
If you read 1 hour a day in learning a new thing, you will be an expert in that field in 5 years or earlier.
Your mind has enormous potential of grasping. Use it.
“A person who does not read is same as the person who cannot read”

16. Be an unshakeable optimist

Have a positive mind ALWAYS
When you expect strongly, it happens
Mind has the unique power of making things happen if you believe in it
It is not what you want, but what you expect, that happens.
Stay away from the negative people, negative news, negative books, etc.

17. Dedicate yourself in serving other people

People who give to others are the happiest people
All excellent companies have proven track record of customer service excellence and commitment to make things happen.
Rewards in your life will always be equal to your service to others. Example, your pay cheque reflects your rewards for your service to the company.

18. Develop the speed and dependability in what you do

This is one of the main key factors for success
You will always be wanted and you will grow towards success
“Don’t major in minor things”
Only 2% of the people have the sense of urgency. If you do, you will be successful.

19. Be Decisive

Take decisions in a timely manner
Work systematically to make proper decisions
The way to take a decision is to take a decision. If it is wrong, take another decision and proceed
“Indecision is the hallmark of the fear of failure”. That is, people hesitate to take a decision merely for the fear of failing by taking that decision. The successful people have the ability to take timely decisions – no matter what the outcome actually is.
The more decisions you make, the better you would be in life.

20. Back up (support) your plans and desires with persistence

Just do it
No matter what, just continue
Persistence becomes a habit surely leading to success.

21. Self discipline

To develop a capacity to do what you need to do whether you like it or not

This is the master key for your success

“Successful people do the things what unsuccessful people do not want to do. At the same time, the successful people do the things what successful people do not want to do. But, they know that that is the price for success and so, they do it – even if they do not want to do it.”

“We are engineered for success but programmed for failure”. That is, we CAN do many wonderful things, but we always take the easy way out in not putting a lot of effort in doing the difficult things leading to unsuccessful things in life. We need to make a determination to be self-disciplined to practice and do what we need to do towards achieving success.
