THE SECRETS OF SUCCESS

Dale Carnegie made this observation: "Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all." In the end, it's the persistent bulldog that will own the backyard. Perhaps there's some hope for me, after all then!
It's in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped." -- Anthony Robbins
"If you've tried to do something and failed you are much better off, than, if you tried to do nothing and succeeded."
I believe some essential qualities in achieving success in life are:
# DRIVE # PASSION # ENERGY # SELF BELIEF and INNER CONFIDENCE and most importantly # HAVING A LIFE PURPOSE
HOW to do it?...Listen to that still inner voice deep within you - your soul. Nurture your inner qualities of intuition. Focus on your strengths and build on your weaknesses (but also build up your strengths even more).
Develop strategic relationships, where you build teams with people whose skills you lack. Build "win-win" relationships with your complementary relationships, so you ALL win. It's the process of synergy at work - that is, 1+1 =3 (or perhaps even 111)
To do this effectively, you need to share a common vision of where you (and/or your business) are headed.
To do this you need to be an effective communicator in communicating your goals and vision to others.
NB: Have a positive outlook on life. ATTITUDE is the most important ingredient in whether you will be successful. You can everything else, but without the 'big A', it will be very hard.
Think differently to the masses and let your creative imagination work for you. The human mind has amazing power. Let it find numerous unique business ideas for you, if you only ASK it. Then sit back and wait for the answer to come from the creative subconscious mind.
There are many lucrative undiscovered business and life opportunities out there, just waiting for you to take ACTION.
Be a person of ACTION. Don't just talk your ideas away. Just be YOU.
THE FINAL WORD:
I truly believe that... the key steps to achieving success in whatever endeavor you choose in life are "the A,B,C,D,E" ,ie:
A. ATTITUDE B. BELIEF C. COMMITMENT D. A DREAM (+ DETERMINATION + DISCIPLINE) E. ENERGY + PASSION + PURPOSE
= SUCCESS!
Success is a process... as life is the journey, not the destination. So take pleasure in it.
To YOUR success in 2002

"You are not in this world to live up to anyone else's expectations but your OWN."
Honesty, integrity, persistence and ingenuity are the keys to success.
"Success is your birthright. Loss is impossible. Do what you came here to do. Be what you are." - Alan Cohen
"Some people dream of success...while others wake up and work hard at it."
"If you can believe it, you can achieve it. If you can visualize it, you can realize it!"
