Practice the 5 Habits of Highly Successful People

July 31st, 2008

Success Habits Well, if you are going to be successful today, you have to think and act like a successful person, is that right? Somehow, this statement has some sense in it. After all, if you are doing what successful people are doing, you will achieve the same amazing result just like them!

Before this I have posted about The 9 Millionaire Habits, and today, I’m going to show you the 5 habits of highly successful people. The easiest step that you can take to become successful like Richard Branson, Donald Trump, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Bill Gates and more, is to model what they do.

Therefore, the first thing, you have to model their habits. This is because habits play an important role in our life. Your habits are going to determine everything you do and every decision that you make today. Why are you reading this right now? It is because you have the habit of wanting to learn more, to improve yourself, you want to be successful in your life as well.

So what are the 5 habits of highly successful people? Read below to find out…

1. Highly Successful People Are Doer

Every highly successful people are doer, they take action more than they talk. As you know, success will not come automatically, you have to do something to make it come true. This is why successful people are successful, because they take action that leads to their success. Many people caught up in their comfort zone and they are not willing to take action. They rather watch television the moment they have to read through market analysis.

So the first thing you have to do in order to be successful, is learn to be a doer. Take more action than everything else. Another thing about successful people is that they take every action that can lead them to their success. No matter how big or how small the action, they will take it. This is simply because successful people know that it is the small action that will bring them the huge success.

Have you ever heard of the butterfly effect? It means that small steps can actually bring you large impact. In fact, taking small action steps everyday is one of the most powerful actions that you should do if you want to be successful. There is a saying from Confucius, “The journey of a thousand leagues begins from a single step“. This saying is very true. So, if you want to be successful today, be the doer, take more action, even if it is a small action.

2. Highly Successful People Deal with Failure Correctly

What I mean here is that successful people are doing the right thing the moment they fail to achieve what they want. If you are a constant reader of my blog, you should know that once you have taken the necessary action, there are only 2 outcomes, the first outcome is that you achieve what you want, and the second outcome is you fail to achieve what you want. For successful people, they deal with failure differently.

Overall, there are only 3 ways to deal with failure. Today, if you fail to achieve your goals, you can:

1. Give up and never to take any action anymore,
2. Try harder again, by doing the same thing, or
3. Change the strategies and go all out again.

These are the only 3 ways to deal with failure. As for successful people, they are using the third way to deal with failure. The moment they fail to achieve what they want, they will tell themselves that it is because they are not using the right strategies. What they do is that they review their strategies, they change their strategies and they go all out once again.

By doing, you are constantly positioning yourself to the right path of success. Einstein once defined crazy as “Doing the same thing over and over again but wish for different results”. You know it very well that if you are doing the same thing, you are going to get back the same old results.

Hence, learn to change your strategies when you fail to achieve what you want in your life. No one has the perfect strategies to succeed, it is the constant and never-ending improvement that will bring you the success you want.

3. Highly Successful People Have Clear Visionary

When you ask a successful people what they want in their life, they can tell you all the answers, crystal clear answers. Like what I always said, you need to have a clear and specific goal if you want to be successful. If you don’t know what you want, how can you actually achieve it? Your mind cannot come up with a decision and strategy to achieve what you want because you are sending blurry message to it.

It is not that people are planning to fail, it is because they fail to plan. How many of your friends are actually planning on what they should do everyday, what they should achieve every month and do they know what they want in their life? I bet, very few of your friends actually know what exactly they want in their life. If you don’t have any goals today, please set at least one before you sleep tonight.

Without a goal, you are just like a sheep that lost in nowhere. You are going to follow the big crowd, you will go wherever the crowd is going. That means, you are going to end up in other people’s plan. Therefore, you must be clear of what you want and you must have clear goals.

4. Highly Successful People Are 100% Committed in Achieving Success

A lot of people want to be successful, but only a small portion of them actually achieve it. Why is this so? This is because most people are not 100% committed to achieve what they want. Everyone wants to be successful, but only a few of them will ever achieve it, because for most people, to achieve what they want is not a MUST, it is just a WISH.

This is what separates highly successful people with ordinary people. Successful people put in 100% commitment in achieving their goals, they will do whatever it takes and they make it a MUST. Conversely, most people fail because they are not committed in their goals. They just dream about achieving great success, they think about it but they never take any action to make their dreams come true.

Do you have friends that told you he wants to be successful, but after a few minutes, he just forgot what he had told you and he went to watch television instead of reading wealth books? Ordinary people do not have the burning desire for success, it is not a must for them to achieve their goals, and that is why they fail in their life. Take 100% commitment if you want to be successful today, stop procrastinating and make it a MUST for you.

What is Success and How You Can Achieve It

July 28th, 2008

So you want to be successful in your life right? But do you really know what success really means? Well, from dictionaries, success means the achievement of something that you planned, attempted or desired. So you see, success has a broad definition. So if you want to be successful today, the first thing you need to do, is to define success clearly in your mind. Success

“The achievement of something that you planned”, meaning that even if you plan to kill someone and eventually you killed him, you are considered a success. Therefore, make sure that you know what success really means for you. For some people, success means having a lot of money, while for some other people, success means having a good relationship with their family, love one and maybe even having good health.

So make sure that you are cleared with what success means before you start your journey achieving it. Ask yourself what do you really want in your life. Is it that you want to achieve massive wealth? Do you want to be the CEO of a very successful company? Or you just want to have a happy family and good health?

Success Can Be Define From Many Areas

For instance, you can define success from a lot of areas in your life. For example, you can set your goals to achieve financial success of earning $1 million at the age of 45. At the same time, you can set another goal in terms of health, you tell yourself that you will jog at least twice every week. As for relationship, you set your goal as to make Sunday as your family day, you will accompany your family and develop good relationship with them.

So you see, success can be achieved in terms of many areas in your life. You can achieve success financially, in relationship, in health, in career, in spiritual, and more. Therefore, make sure you are clear of what success really means to you.

The moment you said that you want to be successful, do you mean that you want to be successful in terms of financial? Or in terms of career or health? Make sure you know what you want in your life. If you are not clear of what you want, you will never achieve it because you are sending blurry message to your mind.

Now, since there are so many areas in your life you can achieve success in, why don’t you set goals in every areas of your life? Like, you can set your financial goal as to earn $1 million at the age of 40, go for sports twice a week, use Sunday as your family day and go to do charity work once every month? If you look at this example, you are setting goals in financial area, health, family relationship and spiritual. This is a good one and if you can achieve all of them, you are a truly successful person in your life.

Hence, start to set goals in every areas of your life. Be flexible and take your time to think of what you really want in every areas of your life. I believe that there must be something that you want to achieve in every area of your life. So sit back and think about it, this is your future and you have to decide today, now, as it will affect your tomorrow, your future.

How To Achieve The Success That You Want?

So now you know what is success, but how can you achieve it? If you are a constant reader of my blog, you will know what is the strategy that you can use to achieve success in your life. I bet you know that I will tell you this, the formula to achieve anything you want in your life, The Ultimate Success Formula.

I’m just going to explain it briefly here because you can read it from my blog, The Ultimate Success Formula and 4 Steps to Achieve Anything You Want in Your Life.

Great, if you read until here, you have passed the first test, that is to test your commitment toward success. So you really want to achieve great success in your life, and that is why you read up until here. Let us discover how you can achieve it.

Ultimate Success Formula

According to The Ultimate Success Formula, there are only 4 simple steps that you need to follow. Don’t worry, anyone can do it and anyone can achieve the success they desire as long as they apply what they have learned here!

Step #1 – Build The Belief Systems

You have to believe that you can achieve great success in your life, if you don’t believe it in the first place, how can you achieve it? Right? So make sure that you believe it is possible first. Now, your belief is never real to you, it is real to you only because you believe in it. If Thomas Edison did not believe that he can invent the light bulb, I think you will be living in a different world today.

When you believe in something, you thoughts and your mind will start to operate from a different frame. And because something is possible for you, you will start to open up all the possibilities for you to achieve it. That is why belief system is very powerful in order to make you successful.

Step #2 – Set Your Goals

Old school, set your goal. If you are not clear of how to set clear and specific goals, read Goal Setting from my blog. There are a lot of useful tips and tricks that can help you in setting your goals. Make sure you set clear and specific goals, take the action steps to develop the momentum and put yourself on the line so that you will take the necessary actions. Don’t understand? Read this, 4 Things You Must Do After Setting Your Goals.

Step #3 – Design Your Strategies

Strategy is not the same as goal setting. This is more to the ‘how-to’, the steps of how you can achieve the success you want in your life. I believe that once you went through the first and the second step above, you will be clear and your mind will tell you what you need to do in order to achieve your goals. Don’t worry about the best strategies, you will come across the best strategies as you go along taking action toward your goals.

Remember this, it is not always that you will achieve your goals after you took the action. So learn to deal with failure, treat failure as feedback and change your strategies when you receive feedback. This is the real way of achieving success, constant improvement and learn all the way.

Step #4 – Take Massive and Consistent Action

I believe you know about this. Nothing is going to happen if you are not taking action. A lot of people just set their goals and never take any solid action to make their goals come true. If you set your goal to become a millionaire today, but you are sitting there watching television the whole day, how are you going to make money this way? Do you think that money will fall into your pocket automatically? Do you think that you will have $1 million in your bank after you woke up the next morning? Impossible.

So take the necessary action to make your dreams and goals come true. Success is about putting your thoughts into action. Thus, take action according to the strategies you have developed, follow and focus in your goals.

Do you clear now? What is success and how can you achieve it? I believe that you are clear now, right? I’m sure you do. So, what do you need to do now? Ask yourself, “What do you really want to achieve in your life?”

Find out what you really want in your life, and follow through The Ultimate Success Formula. The journey of a thousand leagues start from a single step. Therefore, take the first step NOW, make your dreams come true today.

12 KEYS TO SUCCESS – Success Require No Secrets

July 26th, 2008

Well, if you’re following me from the beginning up until now, you’ve gone through all the 11 keys to success. This is the final key, Success Require No Secrets. If you’ve gone through all the 11 keys with me, you will know that you already have all the resources (keys) to succeed. To achieve what you want, it requires no secrets, but hard work and determination. Keys to Success - Success Require No Secrets

To be successful, you have to love what you do. If you want to make money from investment, then you will have to love to invest. The power of love is much bigger than you can ever expect. Only when you love to do your work, you can do it better. If you hate to succeed, do you think that you can achieve it? That will be impossible. For example, when you love someone, you are willing to do whatever it takes to be together with him or her. This is the same in pursuing your goals to success.

After you’ve read all these keys to success, you have a choice to make decisions. You can choose whether to work harder towards your goals, or you can choose to remain the same. The choice is in your hand. No matter what choices you made, you will still make a choice. What I mean here is even if you choose not to make any decision; you’re still making a choice. Therefore, in our lives, we always have a choice. This is because we can control our thinking.

The significance about controlling our thinking is that we can make things change. Mindset is the most valuable asset that everyone can have. It is not why some people are far richer than you just because they have much more money. It is because the mindset they have is different from yours. Mindset determines everything in our lives, the things we do, our behavior, our thinking, everything. Therefore you need to know how to take charge of your mind.

Success require no secrets, it is all about mindset. Everyone can buy the same wealth book that teaches you how to be rich, but not everyone can be rich after reading that book.

Why? Because the mindset is different. You can have a book that teaches you from beginning until the end on how to become a Millionaire; however if you give up in the half way, everything will be wasted. Thus it is the mindset that is more important, often, “why” is more crucial than “how”. If you know “why” you want to success, then no matter “how” hard it will be, nothing can ever stop you.

The moment you know why you want to succeed, you will somehow come up with some plan and strategies to achieve it. Like the famous saying, “when there is a will, there is a way”. Hence, if you want to be successful, just focus on creating a will.

Now, what do you feel after reading all these so-called keys to success? They are not any big secrets; all of the keys here are nothing but your mindset and your beliefs. It is you that is going to determine your success, not any secrets that you never heard before. I believe that you have heard about all the keys here, just that you never really notice about how important they are in your life.

What I wanted to tell you here is that success lies within your hands. It is how you treat success that matters. If you are serious, you are willing to put in a lot of effort and determination, nothing can ever stop you. Success will eventually be yours. However, if you keep on procrastinating, not taking any actions, and you are not serious about it, then I don’t think that you can achieve amazing results in your life.

Life is short; you must appreciate what lies in front of you. You can treat success as a game; life is a game after all. However, you must know how to play the game of life, don’t break the rules. If there is one thing I can tell you now, I will tell you to be serious and committed in everything you do.

I’m not saying that you should work and pursue success 24 hours. What I mean here is that you should do everything with 100 percent commitment and be serious in it. Even if you are enjoying, enjoy it seriously. Often, it is because of our bad habit of not doing things seriously that make us fail to achieve what we want. Therefore, learn from now on, to be serious in everything you do, even when you are playing games, play it seriously.

To Your Success.

The 12 KEYS to Success :
Key #1 – Never Give Up
Key #2 – Control Your Emotion
Key #3 – Be Prepared To Strive For Success

12 KEYS TO SUCCESS – Be Ready To Learn

July 25th, 2008

This will be the last 2 keys for you in your road to success. You must be willing to learn, learn and learn. Especially with the existence of internet, you can find tons of information from it. If you wanted to know how to lose weight, simply search the terms in search engine like Yahoo and Google, and you can find a lot of information telling you how you can lose weight. Keys to Success - Be Willing to Learn

It is the same if you want to know how to make more money online. You can also search for all the information regarding how you can make more money online. Of course most of the times you will come across to a sale page. They are selling all these info to help you achieve what you want in life. However, there is also information that is free for you. So you see, there are basically tons of people who are ready to teach you how to success in the net, not only in the net actually, there are also many gurus you can find in your real life. The question now is whether you are willing to learn or not.

There are forums, article directories, and even blogs (just like mine) which are always flooded with a lot of information. All you need to do is to dig up all the information and use it for your own. You must always update yourself because with the existent of internet, everything changes rapidly.

About learning, you first must be someone who is “learnable”. I believe you’ve come across some people who are not learnable; they just don’t willing to learn. For example, these people do not willing to listen to their juniors, they thought that they’ve known everything. This kind of people will not go far in their life. The next thing is that you must be “teachable”. You must be willing to teach people about what you’ve learned. Only then you can achieve success more easily.

The one who gives will always receive what they deserve. From the golden rule of life, “Do not do unto others what you do not want others to do unto you”. So you see, if you want more, then you will have to give more. If you want more money, then make others more money and eventually you will get more money.

Another interesting point about learning to success is that you can learn from those who had succeeded, and model their footsteps. If you want to lose weight, then learn the footsteps of those who had successfully lost their weight. As simple as that. Hence, you must be willing to learn everyday. From the moment we were born, we are already in the process of learning every single day. So nothing should stop us from learning, until the day we were gone.

So are you ready to learn more? Look at this example; can you learn how to ride a bicycle by reading a book? No, you cannot. Why? Simply because some of the things require hands-on and not by learning just the theory. This is the same as if you want to make money and become a Millionaire. Hence, can you become a Millionaire by reading a book? Not at all, because reading a book and taking actions are two different things.

Some people read a lot of wealth books, but still they are not rich, because they did not apply what have been taught in the books. What I wanted to tell you here is that, solely with just learning is not enough. Yes, you need to learn, but you should also put what you’ve learned into actions.

We’re living in an information age, if you are not willing to learn, then you will fall behind. Today, it is easier to create wealth, meaning that it is easier to become a Millionaire. There are more millionaires now than before, because if you have a creative idea, you can make a fortune. Look at Richard Branson, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Jerry Young; all made their fortune at a very young age.

All these successful young entrepreneurs made their fortune with a creative idea; of course, they do really put a lot of effort into it. This is what I wanted to tell you. If you are willing to learn, someday you will eventually come up with a brilliant idea just like them.

Well, this is it, key #11 – Be Willing To Learn. Bear in mind, learning is a process; you will need to take action on it. Without action, what you’ve learned will be useless.

Are you ready to discover the final key to success? If you are reading up until this point, congratulations. You are already one step ahead of most people out there, because most of the people, who purchase a book, did not actually finish it.

Let us continue…

12 KEYS TO SUCCESS – You Have To Pay For It

July 24th, 2008

Now, this will be the last 3 keys to success. So key #10 is this, you have to pay for success. You will have to sacrifice if you want for success. So what is it that you are going to sacrifice for? Of course it will be your time and energy, sometimes even your money. Keys to Success - You Have to Pay For It

Like I always said, success never comes automatically. You will have to work hard, spend lots of time and effort on your plan, and take massive actions. Then only you will achieve what you wanted the most. The question now is how much are you willing to pay for success? If you want to make more money online, are you willing to spend all your time doing research, building website and market your site? If you want to lose weight, how much time are you willing to spend to go for exercise, and can you stand for not taking sweet and high calorie food?

Allow me to tell you an example of what is it meant by sacrifice and paying for success here. There is a model, a very beautiful, slim and sexy model. One day she won for the model competition. And so, a reporter asks her “What is your favorite food”. Then the model answer “oh, I like ice-cream very much”.

The report feels strange, because someone who likes to eat something sweet like ice-cream will not have a body as slim as the model. Then the reporter asks again “How many times did you eat each month?” And you know what did the model answer? She said “It’s been more than 10 years since I had my ice-cream”. So you see, this is sacrifice. You will have to pay for it if you desire for success.

Success will not happen instantly, just like building a house. Everything needs time to develop. And how much effort you are going to put in will influence the time you require to build that house. If you wanted to own a more luxury car, then you will have to come up with more money to purchase that car. It is the price you will need to pay for it. You will need to pay for how much you want. This is sacrifice.

One day, if you saw your one of your friends becomes very rich, that is because your friend spends a lot of time and effort in making more money. Always, it is just the surface that you will see, what you see about your friend is that he is enjoying with all the money he earned. You will never see how much he had spent for his results. Maybe he works until late in the midnight everyday. You won’t know it because you can’t see it.

However, what you can be sure is that he did spend a lot of time and effort in it. This is just like a duck swimming in a pond. All you can see is that the duck can swim very fast on the water. But did you know that the duck uses a lot of energy on its legs to kick the water? This is what you can’t see, because its legs are hiding under the water. But the duck do really put a lot of effort in it.

There is no free lunch in this world; you will need to pay for everything that you wanted. Many people cannot stand it when they need to pay more for what they want. The moment you decided to be a successful person, you need to ask yourself this question, “Am I willing to sacrifice for my success?” If your answer is a no, then you did better prepare yourself before you take any actions toward success.

Are you willing to spend 3 hours of your time everyday to create wealth? Are you willing to jog for 1 hour every morning after you wake up? Are you willing to replace your movie time with reading the market analysis? These are the sacrifices, so are you willing to pay for it?

If you want to be rich today, you will need to exchange your time and effort in creating wealth. That’s it, as easy as it may sounds. Many people think that to be successful is a difficult thing in life, what they don’t really understand is that, to be successful is in fact something very easy, if you are willing to pay for it.

Therefore, always remember this; you will have to pay for success. Success is not a sprint, but a marathon; you will have to put in CONTINUOUS effort. Hence, keep this key in your life and let it drives you to success.

12 KEYS TO SUCCESS – I Am Talented

July 23rd, 2008

Now, this is another key you will require if you want to be successful. You need to believe that you are talented! You must have the confident to overcome every obstacle that you face in your journey to success. Scientists claim that we human only use approximately 10-15% of our brain in our life. And the rest, we never used it. Keys to Success - I Am Talented

Albert Einstein, one of the most famous scientists of our time is so talented, that after he died, other scientists break up his head and check on his brain. And what do you think that they’ve found? They’ve found that his brain is bigger than normal people? No, this is not true. His brain is exactly the same as yours and mine.

So what makes him so clever and such a genius? It is because Albert Einstein used up 20% of his brain, his IQ. So you see, he only uses 20% of his brain and yet he became the most famous scientist, nobody understands the theory he explained, he is a genius. Therefore now you can see, we humans are very talented. We already have the resources that we need to succeed.

Look at yourself. From your head until your toes. You are a miracle. God already created the most amazing creature in this world, which will be us, humans. Why did I say so? Human is the most perfect animal in this world. We can walk, run, swim; we can communicate with each other. We are perfect. So far scientist still cannot create a computer which is as powerful as your brain. Even if scientist can create such a computer, but I tell you, it will not be as small as your brain.

Hence you must make use of your brain to the fullest. In fact, you already have all the internal resources you need in order to be successful. We basically have the same internal resources, what I mean here is, the same bio-computer. But then why there are some people who are so talented, they can sing so well, why are there people who can solve mathematical equations so well?

To discover the answer, you need to understand how your brain works. Your brain which consists of more than 1,000 billion neurons, each capable of processing information at a speed greater than a P4 personal computer.

Your talents, our skills all are determined by your brain, which will be how your neurons are connecting. So, if someone who is very talented in mathematics, it is because he has a richer neuro-connection in the area of mathematical-logical thinking. Your neuro-system will develop once you were born, and after that you will get influenced by role model around you. You can be very talented in singing, but you may have less talent in calculus.

Just like what I said in my blog, the best investment is to invest in yourself, in your brain, your mindset. If you invest in yourself, you are not going to make ten percent of return like in mutual funds, or even twenty percent of return like in stock. You are looking at a thousand percent returns from the investment of your brain.

All the knowledge and skills that you acquired with your brain will stay forever with you. There was once a person asked Henry Ford this question before, “What if I take away all of your money and assets?” And did you know what did Henry Ford answered? He said that, “Well give me 3 years, and I will be back at current wealth position”.

Can you see that wealth is just some kind of financial knowledge? Once you acquire them, they will be with you forever. Just like Henry Ford, if you take all his money, he still can create another wealth empire. Money is just the product of your hard work; it is nothing but the score to keep you going.

You already have all the resources that you need to succeed. Success is all about mindset and beliefs. If you think that you can do it, then you can. And if you think that it is impossible or hard, then it will be exactly just like what you think. Our mind plays an important role in shaping the man that we can be. Success require no secret, all you need are just hard work and determination.

Having said all that, you must believe in yourself that you are talented in everything you do. You must first have the confident then only the route to success will be easier. Keep this key with you, always have confident with yourself.

Top 10 Do’s and Don’ts to Achieve Great Success

July 22nd, 2008

Well, everybody wants to achieve great success in their life, and so do you, right? I know this because it is the reason you are reading this post of mine right now! However, reading this post alone will not get you what you want. You have to read, learn, and apply what you have learned in order to achieve the great success you always desired.

This is an interesting post, because you are going to find out the top 10 do’s and don’ts to achieve what you want in your life. By following all these do’s and don’ts, you will move yourself one step forward to your goals. A lot of people set their goals and they want to achieve great success, but only a few of them actually achieved what they want. I hope that you will be grouped in the minority, the success group.

So let us discover the top 10 do’s and don’ts in order to achieve what you want in your life. Let us start off with what you need to do in your life, the top 10 do’s…

Top 10 Do’s

1. Set Your Goal. Yes, you have to set your goal. This is an old school, and I believe you know why you need to set goals, right? If you don’t know why you need to set your goals today, please read Why You Need to Set Goals Today. Goals do not only help you to stay focused in what you do, if your goals are excited, they can even propel and drive you into action. If there is one thing that can make you successful, I’d say it is goal setting. This is how important goal setting is in our life. So make sure you know what you want to achieve and you have a goal before you sleep tonight.

2. Take Massive and Consistent Action. Another old school success factor. Nothing is going to automatically in our life, you have to take action and make things come true. If you just think about wanting to become a millionaire but you did not actually take the necessary action, nothing is going to happen. Just like after you read a wealth book that teaches you how to make money, if you did not apply the techniques in that book, you will not be rich. Even if there is a magic button that can make you a millionaire, you still have to move your hand on to the mouse, and hover the mouse cursor over that button and actually click on it. So remember, it is action that determines you great success. Even if you are lazy, take a few small steps that will lead you to what you want everyday, this way, you will slowly move toward your goals.

3. Pay 100% Commitment. A lot of people want to be successful, they want to be rich, they want to be financially independent. However, only a small percentage of them achieved what they want. This is because this small percentage of people are truly the one that 100% committed to achieve their goals. They will do basically everything to achieve great success in their life, within moral and ethics of course. I know that you want to be successful. The question now is, are you 100% committed to success? Will you do whatever it takes to make your dreams come true?

4. Get Out of Your Comfort Zone. The more comfort you are, the more resist to change you will be. If you truly desire great success, you have to stay away from your comfort zone. The feeling of staying in your comfort zone is nice, but it will not bring you the things that you want in your life. I know that relaxing and enjoying are great, but they will not bring you amazing result. Think about it, watching television and chatting online are fun, but will you be rich this way? Will you achieve what you want this way? So stay away from your comfort zone. If you are in your comfort zone, you will never achieve what you want in your life.

5. Never Give Up. No matter how hard life seems to be, don’t give up and give lousy excuses by blaming other things. If you fail to make more money, don’t give up and don’t blame the economy. The moment you give up, you will lose a lot of your effort which you have put in before. So no matter how hard it is, no matter what kind of obstacles you face in your life, cope with them and overcome them. Let me tell you this, every problem or question arises has a solution, if there is no solution for it, it is not a problem.

6. Stay Motivated and Keep Your Momentum Going. Why someday you feel motivated and why some of the day you feel like boring and no energy at all? You have to learn how to motivate yourself, develop the momentum and how to keep that momentum going. Motivation is not a skill, you have to do it everyday. Therefore I encourage you to read my blog, subscribe to it, read more motivation materials and once you are driven, keep yourself on that state by doing even more. This is the best way of achieving great success in your life.

7. Be More Aggressive in Taking Action. Success will not come without failure. Mark my words, you will have to fail a lot of times before you can achieve what you want in your life. In fact, it is the failure that will bring you to your success. It is the failure that will tell you what went wrong and you should change your strategies. So don’t worry in taking more action, aggressive action. You will fail no matter how clever or how lucky you are. Therefore, don’t worry about it, just take all the action and do it all out. You will find the right path to great success in the end.

8. Be Responsible in Everything You Do. Once you have taken massive action, there are only 2 outcomes, you either achieve what you want, or you fail to achieve it. So, it is just a matter of dealing with the outcomes. Well, most of the time you will fail because great success will not come the first time. Thus, the moment you fail, take the responsibility and tell yourself that you are using the wrong approach and the wrong strategies. Next, come up with new and better strategies, and go all out again. If you are not responsible and you start complaining or blaming others, you will never change because you are letting go the power to change on others. Hence, learn to be responsible in everything you do in your life.

9. Constant and Never Ending Improvement. Spend at least 30 minutes reading self-improvement materials everyday. You have to constantly improving yourself if you want great success. Only by constant and never ending improvement, you will keep yourself prepare and motivated throughout your life. By doing so, you will keep yourself driven all the time and you are developing your mind so that you will be ready for greater success. Where to find all the learning material? The answer is obvious, read my blog!

10. Enjoy, Even God Take One Day Off. You have to be balance to yourself. After you have taken massive action, spend some time to enjoy and relax. Once you have achieved some of your smaller goals, reward yourself, get one day off, go for a movie, go for spa and enjoy seriously. Yes, you have to be serious in enjoying your life as well!

There you have them, the top 10 do’s you must follow through if you really desire great success. Remember all of them, read them through over and over again. And the most important thing, DO and APPLY them in your life, don’t just read about them, use them!

So you have gone through the top 10 do’s, what about the top 10 don’ts? Here they are…

Top 10 Don’ts

1. Don’t Procrastinate. This is the number one killer of all great successes. If you want to be successful and achieve what you want in your life, don’t procrastinate. If you procrastinate, you will never achieve what you want. Many people have big dreams and they do set goals to achieve them. However, they will still fail to achieve what they want in the end. It is because they are not taking enough action. All they do is that they just dream and talk about the great success they always wanted, but they never really put in real action to make it comes true. Don’t be one of them!

2. Set Your Goal and Forget It. Don’t build the ‘set-and-forget’ mindset for your goals. This is about your future, your life, and it is not something that you can achieve in just a few hours or even days. It is a continuous process that maybe requires you years to achieve it. So if you set your goals and forget about them, you will never achieve what you want. That is why people often told you that you have to stick your goals somewhere you can see them often. You have to remind yourself about your dreams and goals everyday. Read and review your goals every night before you sleep.

3. Stay in Your Comfort Zone. This is the opposite of the one above in the top 10 do’s section. If you desire great success, then get out of your comfort zone. Staying in your comfort zone only means one thing, you will never change your life. If you are earning $1 million every year and you are satisfy with your result, it will be fine to stay and keep doing everything the same way. However, make sure that your business will keep on going, because if you are in your comfort zone, you are not willing to change. This means that you are doing things the same old way, and competitors may just overtake you anytime. That is why you have to get out of your comfort zone.

4. Keep Doing The Same Thing After You Fail. This is what most people will do. They are so eager to success, and they take massive action. And when they fail, they tell themselves that they are not hard working enough. As a result, they take even more action. Will they achieve the great success they want in the end? Not likely, because they are doing it the same way, and for sure, they will get back the same old result. If you fail to achieve your goals today, review your strategies, ask yourself whether you are using the right strategies. Don’t just keep on doing things without thinking. You want to do it not just hard, but smart in the same time as well. Extra information for you here, 3 Strategies How to Deal with Failure.

5. Don’t Do Everything At The Same Time, Stay Focused! Have you ever seen a laser beam? It is focused and it is so much powerful that it can cuts through everything that comes across. This is the kind of power that you need in order to achieve great success in your life. Can you write, read, listen and watching all at the same time? It is impossible, even if you can, the result you get is not as efficient as if you just stay focused and do just one of them in just one time. Therefore, stay focused in what you do everyday, don’t diversify your concentration. If you are reading wealth book, don’t listen to songs or even watch television. Take just one action in just one time. Don’t try to do everything all in the same time.

6. Don’t Let Your Emotion Control You. You know, you have to learn how to control and manage your emotion. Why? Because by controlling your emotion, you can achieve much more in your life. Think about it, if you are in a bad mood now, will all these information sink into your mind easily? I don’t think so. However, if you are in a very motivational state now, will you get even motivated by reading this post? Of course you will. So learn how to manage your emotion. This may seem like not important, but do not underestimate what your emotions can do to your life. Read this, 12 Keys to Success – Control Your Emotions, and you will know how your emotion can affect your life.

7. Don’t Blame and Give Lousy Excuses. Again, this is the opposite from the one in the do’s. Like what you already known, giving excuses and blaming will not change your life. If you fail your test in school, and if your choose to blame your teachers, you will never improve. Why? Because the fault is not on you, it is on your teachers! So for you, it is your teachers that have to change, and not you. Will you get better by doing so? No! However, if you take the responsibility and put the fault on yourself. You are telling yourself that you are not hard working enough, will you eventually take more action to read more and learn more? Of course you will, and this is how you will improve.

8. Don’t Hesitate of What You Can Achieve. Never to doubt about whether you can achieve the great success you always desire. You already possess the most powerful resource in the world, that is your mind. Think about it, what is the difference between you and successful people? Are they more talented that you? Are they more skillful than you? No, it is not that they have a bigger brain or they are more talented than you. It is because they focused in their field and that is what makes them the professional there. With that means, if you want to be the pro in your industry, learn more about, dream about it, sleep, drink, eat and breathe about it all the time. This will make you the pro in your industry. Think about it, why Tiger Woods is the best in golf while Michael Jordan is top in basketball? They have more legs or more hands than you? Impossible! It is because they focused in their field, and if they can do it, so can you!

9. Don’t Be Selfish and Keep All Your Knowledge and Experience. You know, if you want to be successful today, you have to help people, teach people what you knew. If you are a very successful person today, make sure that you teach people how you get there. Inspire people and bring people get to the point just like where you are. This is the golden rule of life, if you want to be successful, then you should help people achieve what they want in their life first. Once you did this, people will repay your effort and make you the person you want to be. If you want to be a millionaire today, solve people’s problem or make them rich. After you have take the elevator up to a higher level in your life, don’t forget to send it down so that people can come up. Don’t just succeed alone, succeed together.

10. Don’t Just Read About This Post, Take Action Now! Yes, this is what you need to do right now, take immediate action. Don’t just sit there staring at your monitor, don’t just read this post, do what you are suppose to do right now. If you don’t know what you want in your life, find out the answer right now. If you know what you want, but haven’t set your goals, do that right now. If you know what you want, you have set your goals, then take action to make your goals come true now. Don’t wait, just do it. Don’t worry even if you don’t know how to achieve your goals, just do whatever you think is possible. You will get it right automatically in the end.

Whew, this is a long post. And if you read up until this point, congratulations. I knew that 50% of people who read this post will not read it until this point. And if you do, you are already one step ahead of the others.

What I want to tell you now is, great success is about putting what you think into action. Everything happens twice, once in your mind, and once in reality. That means, success is a 2-step process. The first step is that you need to have the idea of what you want to achieve. You will have to deal with your inner self. The second step is an external step, where you have to take action to make it come true.

By following these 2 simple steps, I believe that you can achieve whatever you want in your life. Remember, everything happens for a reason, so make the great success you desire come true to you.

12 KEYS TO SUCCESS – You Must Have A Clear Goal

July 21st, 2008

Another important key that you will need if you want to succeed in your life. You must have a clear goal in your life. If you’ve read until now, maybe you will think that this key is more important than other keys. But like I said, the order of which key comes first is not important. All these 12 Keys to Success are equally important; you will need them if you want to succeed in your life. Keys to Success - You Must Have a Clear Goal

I know that many of you already knew about this key, you always heard successful people saying that you must a goal; you must set your goal, etc. Yes, indeed, without a goal, you cannot achieve anything. Now, if you’re reading this article, means that you’ve the interest to succeed in your life. The main reason you are here reading this article and read until this point is because you have the thought of wanting to be successful in your life. Therefore you see, everything happens for a reason, if you don’t have the thought or the goal, you will not do all these things, you won’t be reading this article by now. Only if you have a clear goal, your goals will lead you and tell you what to do.

Well, the goals you set must be clear. Let me gives you some examples here, of what a clear goal means. A clear goal is something that you can achieve, the more tangible, the better. If you have a goal like this “I want to be rich in two years”, it is not clear enough. Because you never state that how much is it that you want to make. For some people, rich means having $1 million, and for some people, having $10k is considered rich. So you must set clear goals for yourself, the clearer the goal you have, the easier it can be achieved.

When we are small, our goals are crystal clear. Try to ask a child, what he wanted to be after he had grown up. Straight away, he will tell you “I want to be a doctor”; “I want to be an engineer”. But after we grew up, our goals became very blur. If you don’t believe this, you can try to ask your friend. And you will get something like “Well, it depends”, “I want to be successful”, “I want to live a happy life”. These are all the blurry goals you may get. The time we grew up, we’ve been exposing to the negative environment that changes our mindset.

Have you ever heard someone said that he wanted to go for vacation? But he ended up going nowhere. Why? Because his goal is not clear enough. If you said that you wanted to go for a vacation, you must know where is it that you wanted to go. If you wanted to go to Malaysia, did you know that Malaysia is big and where do you want to set foot? Your goal should be like this, “I wanted to go to Kuala Lumpur of Malaysia, I’m ready to spend $5,000 for this trip, I will stay there for 7 days and 6 night, etc”.

This is a clear goal. Even if you say that you want to buy a BMW, you must specific the model, the colour and other features. Only then it can be considered a clear goal, and can be achievable.

Did you know why successful people set clear goals? It is because they know that clear goals will lead them to the strategies that they use to achieve the things that they want. What I mean here is that, the goals you set are going to determine what kind of strategies you will use to achieve your goals.

If you set your goal as to make $10,000 a year in internet marketing, then the strategies that you can use are like you can get involve in affiliate marketing, online auctions etc. But if you set your goal as to make $10 million in a year, is this possible? Yes, this is possible! The strategies that you are going to use are completely different from making $10,000 a year. What you can be doing is that you can create a loyalty system and sell licensing, and you can also apply for IPO and list your company in the market. This will increase your capital and you can make $10 million in a year.

The process here is not the point; I know that these are not as easy as it sounds. The point I want to stress here is that the goals you set are going to determine what kind of strategies you are going to use. Hence, it is the goals that you set are going to determine how you should live your life.

This is what you should be doing as well, you should always write down your goals and plans. If you don’t write them down, they will remain as dreams. You must write down your goals often and write them in somewhere that you can always see. This will remind you that you still have goals to pursue, thus, they will focus and drive you into action.

Hence, you know the importance of having clear goals now. Keep this key together with you. When you are down, frustrated, take out this key again, and remind yourself about your goal. It will give you a lot of energy in your journey to succeed; you will need this key a lot.

12 KEYS TO SUCCESS – Always Concentrate In Your Work

July 20th, 2008

You must be 100 percent concentrated in your business and your work. Focus in your goals until you achieve it. This is a key that you will need if you desire for success. For you, your business is the most important thing in your life. You don’t need to care what had happened to other businesses out there. It is your own business that is making you richer, not others. So always focus in your work. Keys to Success - Always Concetrate in Your Work

You will feel the flow of energy if you concentrate in your company and in your products. Have you ever gone to any seminar before? And if you have, I’m sure the organizer will ask you to switch off your hand phone. Why? This is because they want you to 100 percent concentrate in the seminar. Only with 100% of work you will achieve great results.

Let me gives you a few more examples of concentrating in your work and your company. Have you ever seen any babies crying? When babies are hungry, they will cry. And they cry with 100 percent of their energy! Sometimes they even cry until their whole face turns red and without any voice coming out. So you see, we were born in such a way that we do things with 100 percent concentration. However, during the time we grow up, we’ve been influenced by the surrounding, we start to loosen ourselves. All the negative effects have been instill in our mind and influences our behaviors.

Another thing that often makes a lot of people unable to achieve success in their life is that they try to success. There is no try to success in this world. Success never comes automatically; you will need to pay for it with your time and effort. If you want to try for something, then don’t do it. If you decide to do it, then don’t try, go for 100 percent, go all out! Only then you will achieve greater results. You know what, if you go all out and even if you fail to achieve your goals, you will still feel delighted because it is not your fault or mistake, because you’ve went all out. But of course, if you go 100 percent all out, you will definitely achieve your goals and success in the end.

So now you know that how important of putting 100% concentration and effort are. Always, do your work with 100 percent effort; don’t worry that you will fail. If you put on 100% effort, I’m sure that success will eventually be yours.

Just like if you are in network marketing, you have to stay focused in just one company. However, a lot of people do not follow this rule, they joined company A today, and found that company B is much better, so then joined company B the next day. A few days later, they found that company C has a better marketing plan, and they hop into company C. If you are doing this, it will be impossible for you to achieve what you want in your life. You are diverging your energy; instead, you should stay focused and put 100 percent of your energy in just one company.

Having 100 percent focuses in what you do is very important, as it will concentrate your work and leads you to better results. The more focuses you are, the better the results you can achieve.

This is exactly the same in real life. When I tell you about Donald Trump, the first thing that comes into your mind is that he is a real-estate billionaire. And the moment I talk about Tiger Woods, you will straight away think of the Prince of Golf. What makes you think like this? This is because they are the pros in their field. Take the example of Tiger Woods, he is the pro in golf because he focuses 100 percent in golfing and that is what makes him the pro. Try and challenge Tiger Woods with basketball, I bet that he will lose.

So you see, if you want to be successful, you will need to focus in something, preferably in something that you like and have interested in. The more you focus, the better you can be in that particular field. Look at Michael Jordan; he is great in basketball because he trains almost every single day. And that is why he can be successful in basketball. What I want to say here is that, if you want to be successful, then you have to put in 100 percent focuses in what you do.

Keep this key with you, always. It is very useful for you when you are down and frustrated. The time when you lost yourself, feeling that you will fail to reach your goals, just focus and concentrate back on your dreams, and you will feel energetic once again.

12 KEYS TO SUCCESS – You Must Have A Plan

July 19th, 2008

Well, right, to succeed, you must have a plan. Make sure that you come out with a plan after finished reading this. Only when you have a plan, you will know where you are heading, and what you should do to achieve them. It is useless if you have great dreams and great goals, but you don’t have a plan which will lead you there.
Keys to Success - You Must Have a Plan
What if you don’t have a plan? You will end up in other people’s plan. Yes, indeed, if you don’t have a plan, then you will end up becoming part of people’s plan. If you don’t have a plan, then it will be the same as you’ve arrived to a new city and don’t know where to head to. You will end up in nowhere. Having a plan is equally important as having a clear goal. A goal without a plan is just a dream.

Everything you do in your life must have a plan. Just like if you want to go to A from B, there are a lot of ways you can get there. You can take a plan, train, or by car. If you don’t have a plan, then maybe you will end up listening to your friend’s advice by taking a train to A. So you see, you will end up in other people’s plan. It is the same here if you want to make more money online. You can choose to make more money using eBay, affiliate marketing, or create your own products.

It is very dangerous if you don’t have a plan. Taking back making more money online as example, if you don’t have a plan, what will you do? Maybe you will try each method. And none of them will work for you. Why? Because you did not concentrate. First maybe you will try to sell something through eBay, and then you find that it was hard, and you change to affiliate marketing. After that you say that it is better to sell your own products since you are already doing selling through internet. Therefore you see, you’ve wasted lots of time and energy just because you don’t have a clear plan.

Look around your house, do you think that without proper planning, you will end up with a building that you can stay inside. Of course not, planning is crucial. The architects will need to decide every area and dimension of your house, and then engineers are going to design for your house which can stand all the loads. A great plan will lead you to great success. Although all the process may consume a lot of time. But slowly, day by day, you will move nearer towards your goals.

My lecturer once told me this before, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail!” Now, this is true, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Nothing in our life happens automatically, everything needs a plan. Every successful people know this, if they want to succeed, they will need to have a plan which leads them there. Don’t believe in me? Read this…

One classic example is investor Warren Buffet. Does his ability to come about by chance? Absolutely not. From a very early age young Buffett was obsessed with making money and had a very clear dream of becoming the world’s greatest investor. Born during the depression when his father was close to bankruptcy, Warren learnt about the value of money and the importance of being financially secure at an early age. Even before his teens, Warren knew that he wanted to be rich.

As early as elementary school and later on in high school, he would tell his classmates that he wanted to become a millionaire before the age of 35 (when he turned 35, his net worth exceeded $6 million). It was because of his goal that he constantly thought of ways to make money, while most other kids his age would be spending their parents’ money. He even memorized a book called ‘A Thousand Ways to Make $1,000′. At the age of six, he started buying coke bottles at 25-cents per six-pack and selling them at 5-cents a bottle, giving him a 16% gross profit, as he would tell himself.

At the age of 13, he got a job delivering newspapers and through innovative marketing and distribution strategies, he served five hundred customers a day. At the age of 11, he took all his savings and started investing in the stock market. His first investment was three shares in a company called ‘City Service’. While most kids at his age were reading comic books, Warren spent his time reading company annual reports.

By the age of 14, he started a pinball business and was earning $175 a week, as much as the average 25-year old was earning in 1944. Would he have taken all those actions if he never set a goal to be rich in the first place? Of course not. Obviously, it is because of his focus of energy and actions that allowed him to become the best in what he does.

Warren Buffet did not achieve all his wealth by luck; he achieved all his wealth by designing his own life. He knows exactly what he should do if he wants to be rich, he designs his life to success, and that is how he came up with a plan of making money through investing in stocks. If you study the life stories of successful people, they all have a very specific goal, they know exactly what they want to achieve in their life. They dare to dream and then let their dreams guide their actions until they achieve success.

Did you know what you should do now? If you don’t, you must plan your steps now. What are you going to do to achieve your goals? This is another great key you need to keep in your pocket and use it when necessary. Use it wisely to open the door to success.
