4 Steps to Success – An Inspiring Story

HERE IS AN INSPIRING STORY THAT HAS GOT TO BE CLOSE TO THE BEST “FEEL GOOD STORY” I HAVE SEEN IN A WHILE. I PLAN TO HAVE THESE TYPES OF STORIES IN MY BLOG AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE. I DON’T SEE THEM OFTEN ENOUGH. IF YOU EVER WONDERED WHEN TO PERSIST AND WHEN TO STOP. THIS WILL GIVE YOU A GOOD IDEA

When do you know when to give up? As far as I can tell, never. As I mentioned recently, I went 10 months with no tangible result for a million dollar idea (Blog post here). In the space of 3 days, I had 2!

All I did was focus on Napolean Hill‘s definition of persistence from “Think and Grow Rich “

  • Definite purpose
  • Definite plan
  • Mind closed to negativity
  • Alliance with others who will encourge and support plan and purpose

DEFINITE PURPOSE

There is nothing more powerful than a definite purpose. When you know what you want, it easy to make decisions and take action. This is because you KNOW things are going to turn out how you want them as long as you are clear and persist. It is a great motivator too.

DEFINITE PLAN

A definite plan is a structured way to apply yourself. That way you can make the best use of your time and resources. You have a specific way to move forward and you can move forward with confidence. For instance, it is hard to build a house without a plan. Equally it is hard to run a business without a plan. The same goes for our personal lives.

MIND CLOSED TO NEGATIVITY

When the Wright Brothers learnt to fly many people chastised them. When Marconi (inventor of the radio) told his friends that it was possible to transfer sound through the air, his friends put him in an asylm. You WILL see resistence from yourself and those around you when you start something big. This is because no one can definitely determine the exact outcome. But you must carry on regardless. If you fail, you are one step closer to being successful.

ALLIANCE WITH OTHERS WHO WILL ENCOURGE AND SUPPORT PLAN AND PURPOSE

In any endeavor there must be people who will work with and for you to achieve your aim. Teamwork is a vital key to success in any project. Find mentors, coaches and mastermind groups that are willing to be part of your dream and hold you accountable to your dream. Over time, they will support you when you are down and you can do the same for them. That way everyone is supported all the time.

CONCLUSION

The conclusion is best summarized in the video below but remember the elements to success are simple and powerful. All you need to do is dream big and act.

    Hey Charles,

    Thanks for your comments. Hill gave the world possibly one of the best gifts anyone could give. Hope, possibility and riches (in every sense of the word). Good luck with your mastermind
