Imagine that you can become a millionaire, you have all the money that you want, you can buy everything that you want and own everything that you ever dream of. Of course, becoming a millionaire is just an example. Maybe you’ve other dream and goal. Maybe you want to live a happy life and live healthily.

What if I tell you that you can achieve this kind of lifestyle all in 21 days?

What will you do then?

Pavlov, the man who discovered that you could make a dog salivate by ringing a dinner bell, said that it takes 21 days for anyone to develop a new habit. You’ll notice that if you move wastepaper basket to the other side of your desk, you’ll throw paper on the floor for about 21 days until you break your old habit and start a new one. If you move to a new home, it takes about 21 days before it starts feeling like home. If you start a new job, it takes roughly 21 days for it to feel as if it’s what you do for a living rather than a new job.

So here’s what you’re going to do in the following 21 days. You’re going to transform your life into someone that you always dream of, forever.

Before you make this decision, ask yourself, “Am I serious about changing my life? Do I really want to live a successful life?”

Once you’ve answered the above questions, it is time for you to be committed and ready to change your life. I bet that you knew what I’m going to ask you to do. Well, if you want to change your bad habit, you’ll have to do it consistently for the next 21 days.

If you want your goals to fully sink into your subconscious mind, you’ll have to write down your goals for the following 21 days. If you want to stop smoking, don’t smoke for 21 days and you’ll change the habit. If you’re going to lose weight by exercising every morning, wake up early and exercise for the next 21 days.

So if you get into the habit of looking at your objectives everyday for the next 21 days, you will have created a new habit, and what a difference it will make in your life.

Are you ready to change your life? In fact, you already know how you can change your life. Just do what you suppose to do in the next 21 days and you’ll form the new habit in your life. Here are some of the guidelines that will be able to help you in changing your life within 21 days…

1. Take 100% Responsibility

Within these 21 days, don’t make any excuses, don’t blame and don’t complain. Take 100% responsibility. This is the first thing that you must do to change your life. For things to change, you must first change yourself. Always remember this, nothing will change if you’re not changing.

You may say that you’re not responsible for the economic downturn. True, but once you take 100% responsibility, you’ll have the control over the situation. Instead of blaming the economy, you’ll learn how to cope with the obstacles you’re currently facing.

What I mean here is that you must change the response that you make in your life. For example, if you earned an extra $100, what you do with this extra $100 will be your response. You can choose to spend all of this extra money or you can choose to invest this $100 and increase your net worth. It is the response that you make that will change your life.

As you can see now, if you learn to take 100% responsibility, you’ll have the ability to control the situation and you are in charge of your own life. Therefore, in the following 21 days, don’t blame, don’t complain and don’t make any excuses in your life. Once you found out that you’re making any of these mistakes, stop immediately and focus on positive thoughts.

2. Focus In Where You Are Heading

You must live a directed life in these 21 days. So know what you really want to achieve in your life, write down your goals once every morning after you woke up and once every night before you sleep. You need to sink the idea of your goals into your subconscious mind and this is what you’ll have to do.

If you have your goals, you can then stay focused in your life and live your life in a direction. Goal setting is not a magic wand, it is something that allows you to be focused and know what you really want to achieve in your life. Can you imagine a life without goal?

Most people live a mediocre life because they don’t have a goal. They wake up every morning, get ready and go to work. They come back only after work, have dinner with their family, watch TV for the night and prepare to sleep. This is their day. Do you want to live this kind of life? It is a life without a clear direction of getting what you want.

Thus, make sure you follow through and write down your goals every morning and every night. By doing this for consecutive 21 days, you’ll experience huge change in your life after that.

3. Motivate, Learn and Improve

One of the reasons for causing inaction is because of the lack of motivation. If you don’t have the motivation, you’ll never take action. You need motivation to keep you going in your life, to achieve what you want, to earn more, to be a millionaire and to be successful.

Therefore, take a self-improvement book and read it for at least 15 minutes everyday. If you don’t have any, buy one. I strongly recommend Adam Khoo’s Master Your Mind And Design Your Destiny. The key point here is for you to develop the habit of constant learning through reading. You need to learn to grow.

If you’re not learning, you’ll stop to grow. Learning and keep on improving is crucial in bringing you to your ultimate success. Almost every successful person encourages you to learn because they know that learning will shape your mind, change your thinking and thus, change your life.

However, learning itself will not bring you what you want. You need to take action to get to where you want to be…

4. Take Action Everyday

Once you’ve your goals written down and your action plan created. It is time for you to follow through your action plan and achieve your goals. So take at least 3 action steps everyday for the following 21 days. You MUST do this. No matter how busy you are, take 3 actions even if you need to sleep late.

This is the most important habit you must develop during these 21 days. You must develop the habit of taking consistent action everyday. You know it very well that if you are just sitting right there doing nothing, you’ll achieve your goals.

Success is about getting things done. The more things you get them done, the more results you’ll receive. This is what separates a successful person from an ordinary one. Every successful person is a go-getter. So learn to be a go-getter in the following 21 days.

This is the 21-day challenge for you. I hope that you can follow through and be who you are supposed to be. Everyone wants to be rich, everyone wants to be a millionaire and everyone wants to live a successful life. If you are serious in achieving what you really want in your life, live these 21 days with 100% commitment.

If you’re going to be successful in your life, you must learn about time management. No matter who you are or where you live today, both you and I have the same time a day, 24 hours. Even if you are the president, you’ll still have 24 hours, nothing more and nothing less.

A successful person has the same 24 hours a day, just that he manages it and make the most out of each minute. Therefore, if you want to accomplish more in your life, time management is a necessary skill.

Time is the only non-negotiable thing in our life. You can’t buy it or sell it, other people can’t give it to you. You can only learn how to manage your time well. So learn to organize your time. If you can manage your time and get more things done, what will happen to you? You’ll get more done.

Suppose you spend 2 hours a day to earn $100, what if you’re able to organize your time better and get more done within that 2 hours? What if you’re able to earn $200 after you’ve developed the time management skill? It is going to be a great help in your life. You’ll achieve what you want in your life faster.

So how do you develop time management skill? Very easy, just follow through these5 steps that I’m going to share with you below…

1. Create a daily planning system that works for you.

This is the first thing that you need to do. If you don’t have a list of to-do task, how are you going to know whether you’ve got your things done and how can you tell if you’ve done the most important task? So you must create a daily planning system that works for you.

For example, you can write all your to-do list on a piece of paper or you can use any computer software that you think will help you in this. You don’t need to spend hundreds to buy a time management device. As long as the system you created is easy to follow and suitable for you, it’ll do just fine.

I usually use a piece of paper. I’ll write down every single task that I need to get it done by the day on that paper, and then put it beside my computer so that I can see them and remind myself of getting them done.

2. Prioritize your task.

I can’t stress the importance of this enough. Many people are trying to achieve more in their life, but most of them spend time on the wrong things. They spend most of their time on less important task. If you want to be successful, this is the skill that you definitely need to apply in your life.

Most people spend 80% of their time to get 20% of the results. You need to do this the other way round. Spend 20% of your time and generate 80% of the results you desire. And you can achieve this by prioritizing your task and get more important task done first.

When you get more important task and result-producing task done, you definitely will create more results and accomplish much more in your life.

You may have heard of the story of Ivy Lee and Bethelehem Steel, but if not, it bears repeating. Ivy Lee was a management consultant who wanted a contract with the company. Schwab, the president of the company, rebuffed him, saying that they already knew more about producing steel than Lee would ever know. Then he gave Lee a challenge that would go down in business folklore. Schwab told Lee that the only thing he lacked was the time to implement all the ideas he had and that if Lee would show him a way to get more things done with his time, he would pay him any fee within reason.

According to the management expert Donald Schoeller, Lee replied, “Write down the most important tasks you have to do tomorrow and number them in order of importance. When you arrive in the morning, begin at once on number one and stay on it till it’s completed. Recheck your priorities; then begin with number two. If any task takes all day, never mind. Stick with it as long as it’s the most important one. If you don’t finish them all, you probably couldn’t do so with any other method,and without some system you’d probably not even decide which one was most important. Make this a habit every working day. When it works for you, give it to your men. Try it as long as you like. Then send me your check for what you think it’s worth.”

What he was saying is so unbelievably simple that you may find it hard to grasp its importance. Schwab loved it. He sent Lee a check for $25,000, calling the advice the most profitable lesson he’d ever learned.

This is how important prioritizing your tasks can be. So learn this now and apply it in your daily life to get more done. Here is a related post, Organizing Your Action Plan To Achieve Higher Success.

3. Focus in doing one thing at a time.

This is another important time management skill that you must use in your life. You’ve to break down your goals into smaller goals and to-do tasks, and then focus in doing just one of the task at a time. You can achieve much more by focusing in doing just one thing at a time.

Think about it, if you are to read an article, in the same time you try to chat with your friend, do you think you can fully sink the whole idea of that article into your mind? And do you think that you can get the task finish faster? Of course not, you’ll get distracted by all the instant messages and you may even spend time thinking of what to reply there. If you put in 100% of your focus into one task, you definitely will do it better and more effectively.

Do you know how can you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. This shows that as long as you stay focused in getting your tasks done, you’ll be able to get more done and even huge tasks that seem impossible. It is the same as building a house. It may seem like it is going to take forever to complete the house when you look at the workers start by clearing the site and getting it leveled.

However, as time pass by, you’ll then see the house being build up little by little. Time is a great factor to change, right? Rome was not built in a day and so with the successful life that you desire. It is not likely that you’ll make $1 million in just one day, but it is possible for you to achieve this within 3 years or so.

Read this post to learn more about focusing in what you do, How To Focus Yourself Toward Success.

These are the 3 essential steps how you can practice good time management in your life. So develop this habit now.

I Strongly Recommend You My Goal Setting Formula System. How You Can Set And Achieve Your Goals Like A Winner. Transform Yourself Into A Super Achiever NOW! Discover My Goal Setting Formula And Achieve Your Goal Setting Success Today!

Do you want to be successful? This is a stupid question because I believe that everyone in the world wants to be successful. Some people desire to have a healthy body, some people desire to be rich while some people desire to live a happy life.

No matter what you want in your life, you must always ask yourself these 4 questions…

1. Where Are Your Right Now?

In your journey to success, you’ve to know where you are. Know where you are today will give you a big picture of how you’re going to achieve the things that you want. For example, if you’re a student and you want to be rich, it is possible for you by doing some home or online business. It is the same if you’re a teacher and you want to be a millionaire. By simply holding a job teaching in the school will not make you a millionaire. You’ve to come up with strategies that can make you more money.

For example, you can create a tuition system that works without you, earn money from this business, sell the license to other teachers, or you can set up an internet tuition center that teaches students from the comfort of your home. There are basically many ways how you can achieve your goals.

But first you must find out where you are right now. If your goal is to make $1 million, how much you’ve accumulated up until now? By knowing your position in your journey, you’ll be able to come up with better strategies to achieve what you want.

As you know, the strategies you need to earn $1,000 is totally different from the strategies you’ll need to earn $100,000. Read this post for more understanding, Are You Using The Right Strategies?

2. Where Is Your Destination?

Once you knew where you are, you must then find out where you want to go. Knowing where you’re coming from is not important, what is important here is where you want to go. This is one of the most common reasons most people living a mediocre life, they don’t know what they really want in their life.

If you want to achieve great success in your life, you MUST know what you really want in your life. If you don’t know what you want, you’ll be just like everybody else, repeating the same life cycle every single day, doing things that you don’t like everyday, living without purpose and breathing without reason.

Everyone has something that they want in their life, some people want to be rich, some people want to drive luxury car, some people want to live a happy life with their loved ones and so on.

Life should be excited and fun. If you feel that life is boring and meaningless, it is because you don’t know what you really want in your life. So find out what you want to achieve in your life today, set goals and create plans to achieve it.

Once you knew what you want, you can then put in 100% focus and commitment to achieve it.

Therefore, find out the real meaning of success in your life. What Success Really Means To You?

3. How You Can Get To Your Destination?

Asking this question allows you to come up with a clear plan of how you can achieve what you want in your life. Many people stop at the first 2 questions above. After they knew where they are and what they want, they stop right there. If you’re serious in achieving what you want in your life, you must ask this third question, how to get to where you want to go.

Don’t worry if your action or strategies are wrong or incorrect, you can adjust them later. The most important point here is to come up with an action plan how you can get what you want in your life. People often give excuses in this stage. After they knew what they want, they then give lousy excuses like it is impossible to be a millionaire, they don’t have the money to make more money, they don’t have the time or they just don’t have the skills and knowledge to make it happen.

When you ask yourself this question and the moment you’re creating your action plan how to achieve what you want, you must adopt the ‘fake it until you make it’ mindset. You must always think and act as if you already have all the resources that you need. For instance, you should think that time, money, skills and knowledge are not obstacles for you.

Here is a post that can help you in this stage, Organizing Your Action Plan To Achieve Higher Success.

4. What Should You Do Now?

This is the last question you have to ask. What should you be doing right now to achieve what you want? It is the action that you take that will make all your dreams and goals come true. Success is about getting things done. So take the first step now and all else will follow.

Confucius once said, “The journey of a thousand leagues begins with a single step.”

You’ve to develop the momentum by taking the first step immediately right after you know what you want to achieve in your life. Many people procrastinate and delay their action after they knew what they want to achieve in their life. They tell themselves, “I’ll do it someday”. You know it very well that someday will NEVER come.

If you’re going to do it, do it NOW. Don’t delay and don’t procrastinate. The number one reason people procrastinate and delay their action is because they are not doing it IMMEDIATELY. Don’t think, straight away put yourself into action. The more you think the more likely you’re going to procrastinate.

And the number one solution to procrastination is take action right away.

Here are some ways how you can propel yourself into action instantly, How To Achieve Anything You Want In Your Life.

There you have them, the 4 questions that you must ask to be successful. Know where you are, know what you want, know how to get it and take the first step right away.
