Its always amazing to see successful businesses as well entrepreneurs who make it big in their entrepreneurial journey. And sometime i wonder what make them so successful yet many are struggling to even get started or maintain what they had started.
I been studying many of the successful people what the secret behind their success. And I got some thing interesting. They act DIFFERENT and that is the reason of their success. So the secret is DIFFERENT.
What can we do to be DIFFERENT and be successful too. The answer is be DIFFERENT. So lets get started with DIFFERENT.
D= Define Specific Goals
What this means is that many successful people define their goals and target with specific details whereas the not successful people will have goals that are not clear. Example , its always better to have a goal of “lose 10 kg” rather than “lose some weight” . Knowing what you want clearly will keep you motivated till you get it there.
I= Increase Chance of Success
Successful people seize the moment by doing the plans in advance. They decide when and where they will take each action and step. Research shows that planning will help your brain to detect and seize the opportunity when it arise . This will increase your chances of getting what you want by 300%. So get yourself planned.
F=Forward Looking
They have forward looking attitude by engaging positive energy in them as well this build confidence and believe to keep going and getting the result they want. Again they plan by acknowledging that success will never come easy without planning. So plan forward clearly that motivates you. “Look at the sun and the shadows falls behind”
F=Focus Getting Better
One of the thing that successful people do different is that they focus on doing something better than anyone else. Believing you have the ability to reach your goals is important, but so is believing you can get the ability. Many of us believe that our intelligence, our personality, and our physical aptitudes are fixed — that no matter what we do, we won’t improve. As a result, we focus on goals that are all about proving ourselves, rather than developing and acquiring new skills.
E = Everlasting Grit
Grit is a willingness to commit to long-term goals, and to persist in the face of difficulty. Studies show that gritty people obtain more education in their lifetime,
The good news is, if you aren’t particularly gritty now, there is something you can do about it. People who lack grit more often than not believe that they just don’t have the innate abilities successful people have. If that describes your own thinking …. well, there’s no way to put this nicely: you are wrong. As I mentioned earlier, effort, planning, persistence, and good strategies are what it really takes to succeed. Embracing this knowledge will not only help you see yourself and your goals more accurately, but also do wonders for your grit.
R= Rebuild Willpower
They keep re building their will power with taking up new challenges. To build willpower, take on a challenge that requires you to do something you’d honestly rather not do. Example of giving up high-fat snacks, do 100 sit-ups a day, try to learn a new skill. When you find yourself wanting to give in, give up, or just not bother — don’t. Start with just one activity, and make a plan for how you will deal with troubles when they occur (“If I have a craving for a snack, I will eat one piece of fresh or three pieces of dried fruit.”) It will be hard in the beginning, but it will get easier, and that’s the whole point. As your strength grows, you can take on more challenges and step-up your self-control workout. Lets do it and see how your willpower.
E= Enjoy challenges
They love challenges and take it as a platform to improve. They will look for new challenges and find ways to go thru it.
They will have fun while doing what they suppose to do. They just enjoy every moment going thru the challenges.
N= Never temp Fate
No matter how strong your willpower muscle becomes, it’s important to always respect the fact that it is limited, and if you overtax it you will temporarily run out of steam. Don’t try to take on two challenging tasks at once, if you can help it (like quitting smoking and dieting at the same time). And don’t put yourself in harm’s way — many people are overly-confident in their ability to resist temptation, and as a result they put themselves in situations where temptations abound. Successful people know not to make reaching a goal harder than it already is.
T = Track Your progress
Achieving any goal also requires honest and regular monitoring of your progress — if not by others, then by you yourself. If you don’t know how well you are doing, you can’t adjust your behavior or your strategies accordingly. Check your progress frequently — weekly, or even daily, depending on the goal.
AbangAbu sure that with these different that you take in your life you are in the correct direction of achieving success.
