Succeed !
Are you successful? What does that word mean to you?
Unlimited wealth, “toys” as far as the eye can see, or family
gatherings at your cottage on the lake?
Success is a state of mind, and I would like to help you
Succeed! Below are some dynamic belief steps
to follow.
S - Start believing in yourself and what you do!
Starting=beginning. If you wouldn’t have taken
the risk and got on your bicycle for the first
time, would you have the confidence that you
do now as you mount your bike for a ride
through town? This belief comes from within and
turns your dreams and vision into reality!
U - Understand another’s point of view. You don’t
know it all, so don’t appear to. Put yourself in their
shoes and listen. Have empathy.
What does the other person want? What are they feeling?
Block out your own feelings and the voice that has a
response to their statements and truly “BE” with the
one you are talking with. Don’t interrupt!
Have you ever thought up the perfect response,
so witty and smart, that it burst out of your mouth,
only to stop the sentence coming out of the other person’s mouth.
You missed them and possibly the sale or relationship.
Have you ever truly been understood?
It is the best feeling in the
world. When you put yourself aside to put the
other person first, that is true sacrifice and success.
C - Confidence isn’t a feeling, it is an action. You need to
have it, even when you just don’t feel like you can!
C - Collaborate , share your successes, be vulnerable
and share your mistakes. Be real! You will become a
people magnet. Surround yourself with people you admire.
Look for like minded people, people who have what
you want, who believe as you believe! Find out how
they got to where they are and then do the same. Billionare
Ross Perot paid millions to attract the brightest to his company.
Be people smart.
E - Exercise your brain and body. Read, read, read!
Readers are leaders. Have you thought about that, it is
true. The more you know, the more confident you feel
and the more comfortable you feel collaborating with
those who have what you want. Sound familiar?
Run, run, run! Keep your body in shape. Make a list of
the people you admire, who have what you want? What
do they look like? Do they exercise or take care of their
outer body as well as their mind and soul?
E- Encourage others! Your friends, family, business partners
all deserve to hear praise. Dig deep to find something they are
good at or have done well, then say it, write it, sing a song to
it, whatever, just acknowledge it to that other person!
D- Determine to be better than who you are and you’ll
be surprised at who you’ll become! Use the
bulldog determination like the tortoise and the Hare. Even
the snail made it to the ark. Determine not to quit,
creatively begin again and again, and again!
How hard are you going to work?
How bad do you want it! It isn’t that hard, just
Start believing in yourself.
Understand another’s point of view.
Confidence - do it and then feel it!
Collaborate with those who have what you want.
Exercise your mind, body and soul.
Encourage others.
Determine to be better than who you are and you’ll be surprised at who you’ll become -
Then SUCCEED!
