Everyone longs to be successful at whatever it is they’re doing.
I have learned success through trials and triumphs, through people who are out there making it happen and from success experts like Marshall Goldsmith and Joel Brown. Thank you for your insights on what it takes to achieve success in business and in life.
Success by your own standard and definition will change your world and the world of those around you.
Whatever your definition of success is, there is one trait that all successful people share.
They stay the course. When it’s hard, stay the course.
Everyone longs to be successful at whatever it is they’re doing.
Change your focus. It’s easy to focus on how hard something is, but the reason why we focus on the hard is because we doubt ourselves. Stop doubting yourself! Start doubting your fears instead, laugh at the stupid thought of you being scared of something that doesn’t exist or hasn’t even happened yet. Believe in you.
If we doubted our fears instead of doubting our dreams, imagine how much in life we’d accomplish? We only get what we believe we deserve. Raise the bar, raise your standards and you will receive a better outcome.
You have created everything you have accumulated and achieved in your life leading up to today through your thoughts, behaviors and actions. The car you drive, the relationships you have, the house you live in, and the moments you have “created” in your life. That was you.
Stop with the uncertainty. Focus on your self-talk. Are you talking BIG or you talking to yourself in small self-defeating words? Change what you are saying to your self and use positive words, words that will help you to become more certain of how powerful you really are.

Change your internal dialogue. Stop saying, I may, I might, I could. Start saying, “I Can, I Will, Step Up!” These are words of certainty, and you’ll be amazed how much of a difference they can make in motivating your mind to take action.
The hurdles are there to see how much you really deserve success. For every hurdle that is in place that you jump over, weave around, or break through is a hurdle someone else didn’t have the guts to complete. You are one cut above the rest. If it were easy then there would be no greatness in achieving the task at hand.
You are an inspiration. Someone out there, somewhere is watching you and your progress, your achievements and performance. Even if it’s just one person, you could be all they need as a source of inspiration to achieve their own success. If you can’t do it for you, do it for them!
Change will make you stronger. You can’t grow or learn without change, something has to change for you to reach the next level.
Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Anyone that has ever achieved greatness, experienced failure at some point in their life. You have to know that failing is all part of success.
Fail more. Marketing Genius “Seth Godin” said it best, “The more you fail, the more you win”.
Stay the course, don’t lose hope and always believe in yourself.
