Wired for Success
⟩
Know Your Goal
⟩
Have a vision to start with, not a goal.
⟩
Visions are more abstract but they help us get to the core of what will make us happier.
Be completely honest in your vision – don’t let anyone dissuade you.
Don’t be led by what other people consider ‘success’.
Break that vision down into smaller steps.
⟩
Ideally, these should be ‘daily goals’.
These are small tasks you can accomplish every day.
They must be entirely within your control.
For example: exercise for 15 minutes a day.
Make a tick on your calendar every day you succeed. Try not to break the chain!
Always keep your vision in mind.
⟩
Picture your vision when you are working on those small daily goals.
Use it to motivate you.
Speak about your passion.
The Path of Least Resistance
⟩
Your aim is to make achieving your goal as easy as possible.
⟩
Work smart not hard.
Think about what the easiest route to success is.
It may well be that you’re not taking the easiest path.
Putting more hours in at work isn’t always the answer.
Do you already have the resources?
Think about your current strengths and weaknesses.
⟩
Be honest with yourself.
Learn from your mistakes.
T
hink about your current resources.
If your aim is to make a lot of money, you don’t have to be unique or original.
Sometimes it’s fine to take an existing business model and to repeat it!
Working With Others
⟩
Surround yourself with people that you look up to and trust.
⟩
Try to find partners in crime who will help you to make your dream a reality.
Find people who share your dreams.
Don’t let people bring you down. Avoid toxic people in your life.
But do listen to constructive criticism – this is a useful resource.
Overcoming Fear
⟩
Fear holds us back from accomplishing our goals.
Fear prevents us from presenting ourselves in an impressive light.
⟩
There will never be a convenient time to go after your goals.
If you’re waiting for the perfect moment then, it will never happen!
Your fears probably aren’t as bad as you think.
Use fear setting to overcome your fears.
⟩
Write down the things you’re afraid of happening that are holding you back.
Score each point on how likely it is.
Write down contingency plans for each point.
Better yet, write down methods that you could use to avoid that risk in the first place.
To be successful, you need to take a certain amount of risk.
You can either live a safe life or try something exciting and amazing.
You can live a life where you are successful in doing nothing, or fail at doing something.
Picture the consequence of not acting or taking the chance.
⟩
This will mean living your current life forever and never progressing.
Invest in You
⟩
In order to achieve our goals, we need to change ourselves.
You can do that by investing in yourself – by spending more time on your looks, your skills and your health.
⟩
Buy nice clothes.
Get a good hair cut.
Look after yourself physically .
Don’t waste your time washing dishes and cooking – go after the things in life that make you happy and use your time that way.
⟩
Hire others to do those things for you.
You’ll have more time to spend with your friends and family.
⟩
Always remember that time > money
And Remember…
⟩
Don’t be afraid to switch course if you aren’t happy with where your life is going.
Take chances and speak up – be a lion and go after what you want in life.
Think about every decision – even inaction is a decision and all these things will ultimately result in you living a certain lifestyle.
Know yourself – study yourself and learn where you can improve and where your skills lie.
Learn to step back from your emotions!
