SUCCESS PRINCIPLES
Want Success? Be Willing to Act, Be Prepared to Fail and Unwilling to Blame!
Success entails action, temporary failure and the acceptance of responsibility i.e. No Excuses!
Without the capacity to fail and get back up, the ability to succeed simply doesn’t exist!
When you DO fail… When you do have that set back… Don’t Make Excuses! Don’t Blame. LEARN. Blaming is nothing but a waste of time. Get back up, analyze what happened, learn from it and do it again… but this time, do it better.
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR EVERYTHING
We must take responsibility for our circumstances. We’re not where we should be because someone let us down? Maybe we should be more careful about who we depend on. Choose new partners or rely more on ourselves. The bottom line is we can never fully direct our destiny until we acknowledge we are in control. Blaming outside people or circumstances for our situation simply lays the groundwork for lifelong excuses and failure. Excuses are the death knell of success in any endeavor. Don’t use them. When we take responsibility we understand and are empowered by the knowledge that you are in control and it’s easier to see and begin taking advantage of the opportunities that abound.
Get rid of EVERY excuse that you have ever made for failure. Because with VERY FEW exceptions, that’s all they ever are… EXCUSES! They don’t matter and they never did! Have you ever failed? Who hasn’t… Every success you know has also experienced failure. Success and failure go hand in hand. You will never have one without the other! I don’t care who you are, what your past is, what your goal is… You Can Do It!…
You Can Do It!
Do what? Almost anything. This is not about building any specific business, it is about building a successful business or life in whatever direction you choose.
- No matter where you are…
- No matter what your past…
- No matter what your education…
You can begin making the choices, right now, that will take you to the place that you want to be.
This is not a platitude nor is it wishful thinking, these are facts…
- You are not too old.
- You are not too young.
- You are not too uneducated.
- And yes, you are smart enough!
You have what it takes, you just have to USE what you have!
We are each the sum total of the actions that we’ve taken up to this point in our lives. If we want to embark on a new course, we need to make different choices. It is never what we know that matters… It’s what we do. New outcomes require new actions and new choices… and choices and actions are always within your grasp.
These articles, blogs and commentary will help anyone to understand how to make the choices and take the actions that will help to build a better future.
Don’t be afraid of failure, embrace it!
Success and failure, unfortunately go hand in hand. Everyone that has ever succeeded has also failed.. in most cases, many times. But when they failed, they pulled themselves up analyzed what happened and tried again with increased knowledge of their endeavor. They continued on with more information and a better chance of success on the next attempt.
- This is simply how it works.
- We do…
- we fail,
- we learn,
- we do again,
- we succeed!
That’s how it works… Get Used to It!
If you spend you life trying to avoid failure rather than achieving success. You are doomed! Focus on what you have to do and where you want to go… not the possibility failure. Don’t wait until everything is just right… It never will be!… Your journey will not consist solely of green lights. If you are afraid of failure and try too hard to avoid it… Success will never happen!
You will never be in a position to succeed… unless you are willing to put yourself in a position to fail. You have to try!
Failure and success are flip sides of the same coin… you have to be willing to flip that coin!
We will look at some real life stories of failure and success, the overcoming of adversity (even some of my own story).
Realize, success is a process that entails the following of certain universal teachable principles. In EVERY successful person, you will find that there are certain ways of dealing with issues that each had in common. They are basic principles that can learned and followed by anyone.
