12 Essential Steps to Success

| Thread
There is no single right way to be successful.
There may not be a perfect combination of ingredients that can guarantee success,

but there are some basic steps you can follow that can improve your chances of being successful
1. Set Goals

People who know what they want and have set a course for achieving their goals are generally happier than those that just let life happen to them.
2. Don’t Fear Failure

Failure is almost always placed at odds with success.
Yet without fail, few would know the way to success.
No one ever did it right all the time.

But most that have experienced some success have failed at some point.
There is a thread of mine about lessons that failure gives us:

3. Take Risks

Life is more fun and exciting when we take risks.
Opportunity may knock, but it may not stand around very long.
Be ready to go on an adventure at the knock of a door.

A successful life includes not having regrets for not having taken enough risks.
4. Don’t Stop Learning

The more you know, the more you realize you do not know.
Make it a habit to learn something new each day.
Treat knowledge as a new friend.

Life is so much more satisfying when we make a new friend every day.
5. Do Not Settle

Success is a process – not an event.
Keep plotting forward with your plan.
Evaluate your progress and make course corrections.

Keep your goal top of mind and keep your feet moving.
6. Live a Balanced Life

There are not enough hours in a day to carve out time for each demand.
However, over the intermediate- and long-term, we can achieve balance.
A balanced life should include doing a good job at work.
Balance means taking time to treat the body well and keeping it running properly.
Balance means taking some time for oneself to recharge the batteries.
Balance means being of service to the community and giving back...
7. Network

No one in this world achieved success on their own.
Success requires that you lean on someone for support.
That’s where the network comes in. True networking means being of service to those in the network.

Then when needed, the network will find a way to return the favor.
8. Focus on the positives

Our brain is originally designed to keep us in survival mode, not thriving mode.
It generally shows us the fear-side or negative side of the story.

However, with a little bit of practice, we can learn to focus on the positive side of every experience.
So, focus on positive past experiences and keep repeating them over and over until your brain learns to focus on positivity

If you remain consistent with it,
you will learn to allow only positive things inside your head and filter out the negative.
9. Get into a growth mindset

Someone with a growth mindset keeps improving himself or herself to keep growing in different areas in mind.
People with a growth mindset also believe that:

they are capable and deserving of growth and their belief system often drives them to better things and people in life.
10. Believe in yourself

People who want to grow keep on believing that their efforts and hard work will come to fruition.

They believe that it is already in motion and happening in real life until it manifests.
11. Curiosity

Successful people are more curious than others and always question things and the world around them.

They ask questions like a five-year-old quick and do not care if people judge them,
for they know that they have the vision to stay true to.
12. Will power

When people persist in the face of challenges and know that they will soon earn the reward of their hard work,
they have strong willpower.
It takes time and effort to build strong willpower.

However, once someone develops it, he or she becomes unstoppable and only stops when he or she gets what they deserve in life.
The single, most important step to success is the focus
So, no matter what happens in life, do not lose your focus.

Rest as much as you want to feel rejuvenated and alive, but do not lose your focus.
