To put it simply: Success means turning your desires into reality!
With this explanation made clear, here’s our take on 15 Rules of Success.
1. Have a vision & a plan or all you’ll be left with are dreams
You need to have a target,
a clear goal on which all your efforts are focused.
2. Nobody’s coming to save you, you have to save yourself!
People will help motivate you,
but this is your journey and they have theirs.
Take ownership of your present and the future!
3. Success comes as a result of discipline
The mind can not focus in a chaotic environment,
because it’s distracted by all the noise.
That’s what you have to do in life! Find chaos and order it.

The most important step to accomplishing all your goals,
