12 Successful key - You Must Have A Clear Goal (8)

Another important key that you will need if you want to succeed in your life. You must have a clear goal in your life. If you’ve read until now, maybe you will think that this key is more important than other keys. But like I said, the order of which key comes first is not important. All these 12 Keys to Success are equally important; you will need them if you want to succeed in your life.

I know that many of you already knew about this key, you always heard successful people saying that you must a goal; you must set your goal, etc. Yes, indeed, without a goal, you cannot achieve anything. Now, if you’re reading this article, means that you’ve the interest to succeed in your life. The main reason you are here reading this article and read until this point is because you have the thought of wanting to be successful in your life. Therefore you see, everything happens for a reason, if you don’t have the thought or the goal, you will not do all these things, you won’t be reading this article by now. Only if you have a clear goal, your goals will lead you and tell you what to do.

Well, the goals you set must be clear. Let me gives you some examples here, of what a clear goal means. A clear goal is something that you can achieve, the more tangible, the better. If you have a goal like this “I want to be rich in two years”, it is not clear enough. Because you never state that how much is it that you want to make. For some people, rich means having $1 million, and for some people, having $10k is considered rich. So you must set clear goals for yourself, the clearer the goal you have, the easier it can be achieved.

Always Concentrate In Your Work (7)

You must be 100 percent concentrated in your business and your work. Focus in your goals until you achieve it. This is a key that you will need if you desire for success. For you, your business is the most important thing in your life. You don’t need to care what had happened to other businesses out there. It is your own business that is making you richer, not others. So always focus in your work.

You will feel the flow of energy if you concentrate in your company and in your products. Have you ever gone to any seminar before? And if you have, I’m sure the organizer will ask you to switch off your hand phone. Why? This is because they want you to 100 percent concentrate in the seminar. Only with 100% of work you will achieve great results.

Let me gives you a few more examples of concentrating in your work and your company. Have you ever seen any babies crying? When babies are hungry, they will cry. And they cry with 100 percent of their energy! Sometimes they even cry until their whole face turns red and without any voice coming out. So you see, we were born in such a way that we do things with 100 percent concentration. However, during the time we grow up, we’ve been influenced by the surrounding, we start to loosen ourselves. All the negative effects have been instill in our mind and influences our behaviors.

You Must Have A Plan (6)

Well, right, to succeed, you must have a plan. Make sure that you come out with a plan after finished reading this. Only when you have a plan, you will know where you are heading, and what you should do to achieve them. It is useless if you have great dreams and great goals, but you don’t have a plan which will lead you there.

 
What if you don’t have a plan? You will end up in other people’s plan. Yes, indeed, if you don’t have a plan, then you will end up becoming part of people’s plan. If you don’t have a plan, then it will be the same as you’ve arrived to a new city and don’t know where to head to. You will end up in nowhere. Having a plan is equally important as having a clear goal. A goal without a plan is just a dream.

Everything you do in your life must have a plan. Just like if you want to go to A from B, there are a lot of ways you can get there. You can take a plan, train, or by car. If you don’t have a plan, then maybe you will end up listening to your friend’s advice by taking a train to A. So you see, you will end up in other people’s plan. It is the same here if you want to make more money online. You can choose to make more money using eBay, affiliate marketing, or create your own products.

Have A Burning Desire (5)

Again, this is a very important key that is going to help you open the door to your success. Without this key, it is almost impossible for you to achieve success. In this world, who doesn’t want to be rich, who doesn’t want to be successful? Everyone wants success. If you meet a beggar, just ask him whether if he wants to be successful. I bet, he’ll say yes. But then he will always remain as a beggar, why? Because he doesn’t have the burning desire to be successful!

So what exactly does this burning desire mean? Burning desire is not the same as what you wish. Burning desire is not the same as what you want. Burning desire is something that it is a MUST for you. You cannot live without it. Just imagine, if you’re in a desert now, it’s so hot and you’re almost going to die because of thirsty. Suddenly you saw someone come by and he is holding a bottle of water. You straight away walk to him and ask for water. Now, what if that person doesn’t want to give you his water? You will kill him if he is not giving you the water. So this is the burning desire, it is a must for you.

Still not clear enough? Ok, let me give you another example. Assume that you don’t know how to swim. You go to a swimming pool and suddenly you fall into the pool. The pool is so deep and you will drown. The moment you are drowning, will you think like this? “Oh, I don’t know how to swim. If only I know to swim then I won’t be dead”. Honestly, what will you do? Struggle! Why? Because you want to live. It has become a burning desire for you to stay alive.

Many people want to be a Millionaire, but most of them won’t achieve it because it is not a must for them. If something is a must for you, you will do whatever it takes to get it. This is the burning desire that you need if you want to succeed in your life. Success never comes automatically; you will need to spend a lot of time and effort on it.

Here is a great story that I would like to share with you. Long ago, there is a King, and he wants to conquer an island. Therefore, the King orders a General to handle this mission. The King only gives the General 100 soldiers. And the enemy has got 1,000 soldiers guarding that island. So how is this general going to win this war? They are outnumbered.

12 Key Successful- Be Responsible (4)

This is a very great key. If you can take all the responsibility, then you won’t blame anyone. You must know that this is your life, and if you want to succeed, you will have to walk this road on your own. Don’t give any excuses and don’t blame anyone if you fail.

Have you ever heard of this word “if”? This is a very lousy excuse often given by many people. Let me gives you some example here. “If I have a car, then I can make more money”, “if only I have more time, then I will invest my money”. Frankly, did you ever hear all these excuses before? Are you using them often?

These words are so easy to use, but don’t use them, they will not bring you what you want. Take all the responsibility, only then you can move to a higher level. Now, you must learn to make good use of this power of responsibility in your life. How? Very simple, take all the responsibility and keep on improving yourself.

Allow me to give you an example here. Like me, I’m a student (the moment I wrote this), and if I failed my exam, I can choose to either blame the lecturer for not teaching me properly and there is nothing I can do. Or I can blame myself and take all the responsibility, so that I can study harder for the next exam. Therefore you see, if you take the responsibility, you will have the power to improve yourself, you have the power to control the situation.

The moment you blame the whole world, you won’t have the power to change. You will lose the chances of improving yourself. If your boss is not giving you a raise in salary, you can blame yourself for not performing well enough. What if after you’ve delivered your hard work, still your boss is not giving you a raise? You can still take the responsibility that you’re not showing your hard work to your boss.

12 Key Successful-Be Prepare to Strive for Success (3)

You must always be prepared to strive, anytime! This is what you need if you want to be successful. Did you know that every morning, in Africa, a deer must always be prepared to run! Why? Because if the deer is not prepared or run slower, it will become a lion’s breakfast. Did you know that every morning when a lion wakes up, it must be prepared to run? Why? Because if it is not prepared or run slower than the deer, it is not going to has any breakfast. So this is what is happening in the real world. You must always be prepared. If you’re not, you either ends up don’t have any breakfast and died of hunger, or become the breakfast of the lions. It may sound cruel, but this is the real world. Always be prepared to strive!

The more you struggle for life the more successful you will be. You know, right now, if you are in your 30s, it is great news because time is your most valuable asset. You can afford to fall (fail) and get up again, why? Because you are still young. You can fall for 29 times and still manage to wake up for the 30th time. When you are at the age of 25, and if you still don’t want to strive for success, then when are you going to pursue for your success? At the age of 55? Therefore, don’t wait, always pursue and strive for the better for your future.

In our life, we have only one season. During spring, it is the moment when we are still young; we are at the age of 20s. It is the best if we get ready and prepare for our future. Then summer will come. This is a very hot season, you will be in the age of around 30, and you must work harder and put in more effort. This is the best time for you to strive for your future and success.

Once you miss this opportunity, autumn will arrive; you will be in your 40s. You will start feeling cold and lazy to move. If you miss out all these 3 seasons, you will eventually come to winter. It is very cold in winter and you are at the age of 50s. Do you think that you will still want to strive for success at this age? Honestly, I don’t think so. Hence, you must always be prepared to strive whenever you can. Don’t wait because time waits for no one!

12 Key Successful - Control Your Emotion (2)

Now, here is the second key that you will need if you desire for success. All the 12 Keys to Success are equally important, the order of how all the keys are sorted is not important here. All of the 12 keys are crucial and you must have them all!

Are emotions important to us? Indeed. All of our work will be influenced by our emotions. So what if you’re in a bad emotion? Do you think that you can deliver a perfect job if your emotion is bad at that time? If you want success, especially for businessman, then you will need to learn how to control your emotions. This is because they need to deal with people all the time to have your business done. If you don’t control your emotions, it is impossible to get your business deals in a nice and perfect way. Another great example is for network marketers. Every network marketers need to contact with their members all the time. So if they cannot control their emotions, all their members will leave them eventually.

You need to feel happy all the time. You need to feel positive all the time. Let me give you an example here of how important controlling your emotions can be. There is a father, who works in an insurance firm. One day he had been fired from his company. So he is in a very bad mood. When driving home, the traffic jams. He is so angry and keeps on sounding horns. Suddenly a car hits his car from the back. Now he is getting angrier and get out of his car, quarrel with the one who hit his car. Back at home, he sees his wife and he straight away scold her. Then went into his room and slam the door.

If You Could Achieve One Goal in 24 Hours

Lately when I was browsing YouTube, I came across with this video clip.........

 Although it is  short video, but the lesson from this success coach is a great one. Perhaps, we all should learn from Brian Tracy if we want to be successful.

How They Turn Vision into Victory

Colonel Harland Sanders

More than 2 billion “finger lickin’ good” chicken dinners are served every year in over 80 countries around the world. It all began when an entrepreneur in his sixties, living on social security, had faith in his idea. Born 9 September 1890, Harland Sanders learned how to cook when he was six. His father had just died, his mother was forced to work, and it fell to Harland to put meals on the table. He started working at 12, first on a farm, then as a streetcar conductor, a 16 year-old soldier in Cuba, and a railroad fireman. He studied law by correspondence, sold insurance and tyres, operated an Ohio River steamboat ferry, and ran gas stations.

When he was 40, Sanders began cooking for hungry travelers at his gas station in Corbin, Kentucky, serving their meals at the dining table in his own living quarters. Soon people came just for the food and he opened a 142-seat restaurant across the road. Over the nine years, he perfected his secret blend of 11 herbs and spices and the basic cooking technique that is still used today. His fame grew. He was made a Kentucky Colonel in 1935 for his contribution to the State’s cuisine. But when a new interstate highway bypassed Corbin in the early 1950s, Colonel Sanders was forced to sell up. After paying off his depts, he was reduced to living on his $105 social security cheques.

But the Colonel had a vision: confident of his fried chicken formula, he started franchising his recipe in 1952. The 65 year-old drove across America, cooking batches of chicken for restaurant owners. If they liked what they tasted, he did a handshake agreement that he would be paid a nickel for each chicken they cooked and sold. By 1964 the sprightly Colonel had more than 600 franchised outlets in the US and Canada, and sold his interest for $2 million to a group of investors. He stayed on as public spokesman and by 1976 he was ranked the world’s second most recognizable celebrity.

Kentucky Fried Chicken Corporation went public in 1966. In 1971 it was acquired by Heublein, Inc. for

12 Key Successful - Never Give Up (1)

This is a very crucial key for you if you want to succeed. No matter in your career or in your life, success will never come automatically. You must never give up if you desire for success. If you insist, keep on your hard work, in the end, the wealth will be yours, prosperity will be yours. You must know that this is the spirit that you need to succeed in your life.

Allow me to give you an example here. If you took a hammer, and hit the wall inside a house. What will happen? Nothing will happen, what you will get is just a loud “bang!” But what if you keep on hitting and hitting the very same wall? You will get a huge hole in the end; you can even make the whole house collapse with just a hammer. Therefore you see, many things which seem like impossible to happen. But if we keep on working on it without giving up, you will find that we can actually create something impossible.

Look around you; do you have any friends who are very rich and successful? Let me tells you, if you have this kind of friend, they must be very hard working. And you know what, they’ve been hard working for many years, maybe they’ve been very hard working for 10 or 20 years. However, if you are very lazy, the whole story will be different. If you are lazy for just one day, it is OK.

But if you keep on your laziness for 2 days, 3 days, 1 week, 1 month, 1 year, 5 years and so on. Your laziness will become a massive destructive force which tends to destroy your life. If you see someone who lives a frustrated live, poor, this is maybe he or she is lazy. But let me remind you, this person is not only lazy for a few days, maybe he or she had been lazy for 10 or 20 years.
