You want to be successful. We all do. But sometimes it feels like you do not know how to be successful, because at some point you think you have it all figured out, and the next minute you are just struggling to keep afloat. And so, you go on to read about the life of successful individuals or watch short clips where they give tips on how they achieved their success, to enable you develop a highly successful mindset.
Then you try out these tips, and most times you end up not sticking through with the tips, or they do not just work for you. However, here’s the big truth you need to know about success. Success is within you. Yes, it is inside you; it is in what you spend your time doing – your daily routines.
To be successful you need to evaluate your daily habits and see if they are habits that lead to where you want to go. Success is built overtime, and the building blocks for success lay in your daily habits.
In this article, I give you three suggestions to help you develop a highly successful mindset
How to develop a highly successful mindset
Identify your purpose.
Your purpose is what you want to do on this earth. And anyone who has discovered theirs is on a fast track to success, as it will be all the motivation you need to help you get back on your feet when things are tough. Here are four simple questions to help you find your purpose;
Who are you? What do you want from life? How are you going to achieve it? How will it benefit others?
Be honest with yourself when answering these questions.
Set goals and commit to them
You need to set goals, and not just any goals, you need to set smart goals, which are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely.
After setting your long term goal, you need to breakdown it down into steps that you can commit to ticking off daily. This will make you feel good about yourself each day, because daily you are working towards your goals.
However, always remember to schedule rest days.
Believe in yourself and in your goals
The first step to being successful is to believe in yourself. Believe that you know what you want, and you’re going to put in the work to achieve it – that you will overcome any hurdle that comes your way. With a high level of self-believe, you can achieve anything. You just have to put in the work daily, until you get there.
Conclusion
To be successful you need to commit to your DESIRE, you need to be CONSISTENT, even on days when you don’t feel like it. Running away after hitting a small bump on the road to success will be the stopping block to you and a distraction from getting to your goal, because that is to shy away instead of sticking around long enough to reach it.
Yes, it is not really easy to commit to something on the not so good days, and one way to help you through is to weigh the cost of commitment versus the rewards – have some BAG, big audacious goal. Thinking of what you hope to achieve can be a major driving force. So keep your eyes fixed on the end goal.
