What is success? I always ask myself these question all the time since I become entrepreneur way back 2007.
And in my entrepreneurial journey I realize that success is not a stroll in a park. Where you just make little or no effort and achieve success.
That is HOAX and 100% not true. Because the truth is success is a complex and long journey and requires deep understanding in what you are doing, specific planning, building self esteem and massive actions.
I am very motivated to write these article today. That’s why I will enumerate step by step guide to success!
1. Success is a state of mind – As earl nightingale says. Most people think that in order for them to become successful they must EARN massive amounts of money. But that’s not true. Because MONEY is just a by product of success. The question is when or how can I achieve success in a state of mind?
The answer is simple. Plant a goal in your mind. What ever it is. It could me more money, a car, a travel, a promotion in your particular field. The moment you write down your goal, you immediately position yourself as one successful person. If you want to know more about success I suggest you listen to Earl Nightingale’s Strangest Secret.
Success Is A Progressive Realization Of A Worthy Goal (Ideal)

2. Make a S.M.A.R.T. Goal
- Specific
- bad example: to earn lots of money
- good example: to earn $100,000 passive income per year
- Measurable
When you measure your progress, you stay on track, reach your target dates, and experience the exhilaration of achievement that spurs you on to continued effort required to reach your goal.
Its important to track and evaluate yourself. If what you are doing can contribute towards your goal.
- Attainable
bad example: become millionaire in 1 year
good example: achieve financial freedom 5-6 years from now.
When you identify goals that are most important to you, you begin to figure out ways you can make them come true. You develop the attitudes, abilities, skills, and financial capacity to reach them. You begin seeing previously overlooked opportunities to bring yourself closer to the achievement of your goals.
- Realistic
Your goal is probably realistic if you truly believe that it can be accomplished. Additional ways to know if your goal is realistic is to determine if you have accomplished anything similar in the past or ask yourself what conditions would have to exist to accomplish this goal.
- Time Bound
A goal should be grounded within a time frame. With no time frame tied to it there’s no sense of urgency. If you want to lose 10 lbs, when do you want to lose it by? “Someday” won’t work. But if you anchor it within a timeframe, “by May 1st”, then you’ve set your unconscious mind into motion to begin working on the goal.
Some of the excerpts in creating SMART Goal is courtesy by http://www.topachievement.com/smart.html
Goal is like your roadmap towards success. If you don’t have it. You are positioning yourself to be lost in a wide ocean of failure. Its inevitable to have a goal. What ever it is. You must right it down.
3. Learn all the things that can contribute to your success. If your goal is to earn lots of money online. The next thing you must do is (which is very basics) is to learn and master the subject of making money online. If you want to be effective in learning the basic and advance knowledge in making money online. You must posses the G.L.L.A which stands for;
- Good
- Listening and
- Learning
- Attitude
And before reading, listening and watching anything. Become empty cup first. Set aside all the things that YOU SUPPOSE TO KNOW and be willing to learn new things.
4. Massive Execution or Action. I think this is the part where people fail most of time. What we are talking early on is about the inner game of success. But that’s the only one side of the coin. Another part requires you to take certain action (massive) in order for you to achieve success.
If you think that you just need to do little things. Then I hate to say this to you. Your income can grow only to the extent that you do, no more no less -T. Harv Eker.
More Action = More Results. This equation is based on newtons law which is (action=reaction).
If you think you can’t, then you can’t.
If you think you can, then you can.
Either way you are right. -Henry Ford
