10 SUCCESS PRINCIPLES TO REMEMBER
- You are the only person responsible for your success
- The best part of your life will start on the day you decide your life is your own -- no one to lean on, rely on, or blame. You are in full control of your future.
- You don't have to invent the wheel
- Lots of success were found just by taking something that already existed and simply putting their own twist on it (their unique selling proposition)
- There is no progress without action
- What is not started today is never finished tomorrow. Just remember, no action always results in a 100% failure rate. So get into action now, and begin to move in the right direction
- Persistence always wins
- As Winston Churchill once said, "Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm." A river cuts through rocks because of its persistence over time
- Focus is everything
- If you never focus clearly on something, you will never be 100% efficient at anything. Multi-tasking usually reduces your efficiency in dealing with each individual task
- Failure is necessary
- If what you did today didn't turn out as you hoped, tomorrow is a new opportunity to do it differently. Interpret each failure as a lesson on the road to success
- Positivity fuels productivity
- Success comes from positive energy. You can choose to get caught up in the negativity surrounding you, or you can decide to do something positive about your situation
- You must believe you can
- You must find the place inside yourself where anything is possible. It starts with a dream. Dream becomes a reality with commitment, action, determination, and time
- Helping others is a big part of being successful
- Successful people constantly come up with new ways of helping others. Your long-term success is directly tied to how well you serve your community.
- Success is a journey of countless baby steps
- It's a constant process of growth. If you want to be successful, you must continue to hold yourself to a higher standard than anyone else, and strive to improve
