Walking the Road to Success…

Everyone had seen the Road of Success, many of us had tried walking on it. But only 5% of us actually see the end of the road, where Success is waiting for you. The Road to Success is in fact a straight road! It is not long, if you have good clarity and vision, the road is really short, you can even see Success right in front of you. Then why many people cannot reach the other end of the road?
Several reasons:
  1. No clarity, they are lost while walking
  2. Road is straight but bumpy, many gave up after a few obstacles and bumpy
  3. Procrastination, settle for less and not trying to walk at all
And many more! Though the road is short but many have given up because the road is difficult and bumpy, their will to achieve success is not strong enough to give them the energy to persevere. They gave themselves countless of reasons why they can’t do it and in the end not trying at all.
So can we overcome our minds to get ourselves on the Road? YES! It all starts with your mind. Change your beliefs and your habits, tell yourself that everything is possible. If someone can achieve it, you can do the same too! Is there a way to be successful as others? YES! It’s simple, learn from those who had succeeded! Find out their philosophies, have the same mindset and do the same things. You will become like them. Research and observe them and you will find that these people think and work differently from others, these set them apart from the rest. Don’t just learn from one of them, learn from many others too. Consolidate their experiences, their lessons learnt and you are on your way to your own success.
Have you heard about a son of a carpenter who embarked on his journey to be successful, along the way he met many other people and he learnt the methods to success from everyone he met. The optometrist taught him to see better, the plumber taught him to do better plumbing and many more. And on his way home, he is all ready to be as successful as them.

This great story is told in this book:Wink and Grow Rich (Wealth Dynamics). I have read this book almost twenty times and I am learning more things every time I read. It is simply inspiring and motivating, that gave me a whole new set of perspective on how we should handle things in our life. Managing relationships, looking for opportunities and creating a richer life for yourself. If you want to be inspired and gain new philosophies of success, I highly recommend this book to you. You will thank me for it! :)

How to turn your dreams to reality…

It’s a baffling question isn’t it? Everyone has their own answers but really, is there something different between them? Yes there is. The answer is “Clarity”. When you are clear of what you want, you will be focused and determined. And because you have a clear goal (no longer a dream!) you will know what it takes to reach there!

Successful people are clear in what they want, and knowing how to achieve it. They set up plans on how to achieve their dreams, turning them to reality. Others have dreams, because their dreams are vague and they don’t take any action to make it happen. Let’s say you are running a restaurant business and I ask you this “What’s your dream in this business?”And if your answer is “I want to make a lot more money!”, then you will never succeed. What you have said does not give you the clarity and vision to take further actions to “make a lot of money!” So “How much is a lot?”

A successful business man will probably answer something more specific. “I want to expand my restaurant business by opening two  more outlets in a year’s time and gaining an annual combined profit of more than $100,000.” Does this give more clarity? Does this allow you to draw up plans to achieve it? Yes it does! You will be able to draw up plans to expand your business, sourcing for new places and hiring more workers and eventually getting profitable.

Having a clear vision of your dream may not be enough, write it down somewhere and paste it on your wall or use it as your desktop background, that way you are constantly seeing your dream and reminding yourself everyday of what you want to achieve. Do write something as specific as possible, and also include ways to achieve it. Here is an example:

What’s your dream: “I want to be the top 10% salesperson in my company by the end of the year”

What do you plan to do to achieve that? “I need to call up at least 15 customers everyday and make at least 10 sales per day” “I will follow-up with my customers after sales so that they will come back and do more sales with me”

Can you see the clarity and ways to turn your dreams to reality? I bet you have the clarity that will take you to the next level of success!

If you want to have better understanding of setting plans and goals to achieve your dreams, check out this book: Master Your Mind, Design Your Destiny - Proven Strategies that Empower You to Achieve Anything You Want in Life (Personal Mastery). This book, by  one of Singapore’s youngest self-made millionaire, covers different methods and powerful methodologies that others have used to be successful in their walks of life. I personally benefited a lot from this book, where I have a clear clarity of what it takes to make my dream succeed!
