Ask yourself 3 questions
-
Am I admiring the success of others but afraid to create success of my own?
-
Am I motivated toward success but uncertain what actions to take in order to become successful?
-
Am I an advocate of success but secretly despondent because I have not achieved it yet?
If answered YES to these questions, it’s time for you to feed your obsession of Success. You must now stop the constant thinking and talking about success, instead put plans into action in order to reach the success you are dreaming of.
LET’S CALL IT THE ODHC OF SUCCESS
O: Outline the success you desire
You may have continuously got instructions on how and why you should have clear goals and lifestyle figured out. But figuring these out isn’t enough if you haven’t thought about what success means to you. Let’s dig deep when defining your desired level of success, which is designed specifically for you.
Begin by seeing yourself in the success chair. Maybe it is in few months, 1 year or 10 years. But we begin with the end in mind. Everyday picture yourself in the success chair. With that, outline the complete layout of your lifestyle. For instance, if you are successful as an entrepreneur, what sort of lifestyle would you like to have? What vehicle will you drive? What sort of vacations would you take? Yes picture all these and many more. Now set your goals. Because once you decide and outline the success you wish to aim, the lifestyle falls in; then use the goals to reach that lifestyle and success.
D: Develop and Implement Strategies as parallel activities
It is a detrimental mistake if you have a clear plan of action but has no time to implement it. Planning is easy, execution of that plan is what takes time, effort and wisdom. So many have plans but only a few would know to execute it effectively. Following through the strategy and timely execution, are very important activities for someone in pursuit of success.
Do not procrastinate deciding on and execution of the strategies that helps you achieve the goals and ultimate success. There is nothing called perfect timing. Now will be the right time. If your strategies are decided on today, with the right supporting elements around, start executing them today itself. Do not Procrastinate. You must remember that time is money and pursue success through timely planning and execution of strategies.
H: Have one… and only one obsession: SUCCESS
Obsess about success. Dream it, talk about it, live it. Keep reminding yourself of the success you crave in your life. The ideal success becomes such an obsession that you work to make it a reality.
- Convert your success into a vision and have it somewhere you could see every day
- pasted on the mirror you look yourself every morning,
- in your office laptop, pasted on the wall, journal,
- as an everyday reminder in your phone,
- network and befriend those people who have already achieved the success you desire
Your desired success should be made an obsession surrounding your every waken moment of the day!
C: Challenge yourself regularly to achieve MORE
Never settle with the achievements or tasks accomplished. Reach for more. Don’t be satisfied enough. Always look for more until the ultimate success you desire is reached. You will not be able envision success if you begin to settle with what you have. If you get tired and feel this is enough there is nothing more to accomplish, then you cannot reach the success you were dreaming of at the beginning. Do not lose the hunger for success.
Success is not always money or business achievements. Success comes in all forms; spiritual, physical, mental and material.
Look at life as a journey, which doesn’t end until you breathe your last. Success is the same as life. You must continue to seek far beyond the simple material success any common man would look for. If you strive to reach success in all forms; spiritual, physical, mental and material, then you can truly be content. So, don’t stop until success from all forms is reached.
Now get obsessed with your own success, where you will shine above the common, average man. To support your obsession of success, take massive, effective actions.
Let’s get started, round up the elements you require to feed your obsession of success!
