You can never journey on the road of success without having these as your associates. Success only comes to those who prepare for it. There is NO magic to success like preparation. Dare yourself into success. Here are 7 amazing tips by Ferdinard Senyo Lawson, a lifestyle coach.
1. Purpose
You can’t be a success in life without having and living by a purpose. What do you want to achieve in life? Your purpose gives meaning to your life. It tells the world the reason for which you exist. Remember that, you can never become a success by living another person’s purpose for their life.
2. Personality
Your personality contributes greatly to your success in life. Who you are determines what you do to achieve success. Discovering your personality helps you to know your strength, weakness and passion. These are very unique to you as an individual. It is very good when you know the type of person you are, so as to accept and accommodate and dare yourself to do the things only you can do to experience success. Are you a talkative or a shy person? Are you an extrovert or an introvert? Do you become very anxious about life, moody, emotional? All these personality traits help to nurture you into success.
3. Place
Environments are very crucial for the manifestation of our dreams and achievement in life. Not every seed can survive every soil. Your life is a seed and for you to flourish and blossom, you need to be careful and aware of the places you go. You can never desire to be a nurse and go the meat shop to learn, neither can you go to the shopping mall to learn to become a medical officer. You may have a great dream but finding yourself in the wrong place will kill that dream. What you want to become in life should determine the place you go and be at.
4. People
People are the greatest assets we all need to become successes; however, having the wrong one in your life is like getting a bone stuck in between your teeth. Getting to know the right people in your life and your way to success helps you to access relevant information you need. The right people will encourage and motivate you. They do everything to increase your own value and worth. Whatever you do in life, remember that, people will always be people and therefore you must also be yourself in order to overcome discouragement. Some may pose as Discouragers, but you need to take hold of yourself and remain encouraged at all times.
5. Planning
Planning is the process of taking relevant steps and actions to achieve some specific goals, dreams, purpose, tasks or agendas. Planning helps an individual to perform effectively, reduce waste of time and enables the individual to succeed regardless of undue pressure that may be at hand. You can never travel on the journey of success without having the journey map to follow to that destination. This is why planning is very important. It is the very road map you need to get to the destination of success.
This is the more reason planning is needed in every organization desiring to succeed in business, ministry, family, relationship, education, and many others. For example; if your start-up company has planning as its core agenda, it will be able to manage the resources at hand effectively and deplore its personnel appropriately to maximize the production level of the business or company. This goes a long way to reduce idleness, waste of time and low morale or motivation among staffs and managers.
6. Passion
Your passion will determine your success. One of the best antidotes to killer bugs is to be passionate about the things you do that bring you joy and happiness in life. Being passionate is actually loving something so greatly and devoting your time and life for it to work for you. Learning to celebrate every moment in your life will make you overcome or get you immune against the killer bugs that have the ability to discourage you from stepping into greatness. You have to know that, not everyone will be happy to see you excel in life, so they will do everything in their powers to discourage you; but when you have a great passion for what you do, you will never mind their negative vibes.
Avoid being stagnant in life. You have to recognize that, you are unique with a unique gift that the world is waiting to celebrate. Don’t bury your talents because of people’s opinions about you. Develop yourself, add value to yourself and deploy your talents wherever possible. Step out and pursue what you are passionate about.
7. Preparation
You can never get anything done without preparing yourself for it. Preparation is the soul of a great achiever. Everything you see around you was prepared by the inventor. This area is self explanatory. I dare you to prepare your mind, soul and body to see that dream come through for you. I dare you to prepare and everything will be achievable. Prepare …Prepare and prepare.
