How Can I Be Successful?

Posted on October 06, 2018 by Sunil Subbramaniyam, One of Thousands of Performance Coaches on Noomii.

I was reading somewhere that one of the top 10 buzzwords in 2017 was “Success” and why not? Everyone wants to be successful. The trends even show that we are ready to read a lot and understand lot what it takes to be successful.

And at the end we are still questioning- How can I be Successful?
Let me just clarify you don’t need the right family, an inheritance, supportive parents, good looks, or would waiting for the right time will get you anywhere.

Chart out your own blueprint for Success- Keep in mind the below:

A Compelling Vision
It’s important to know what you want. A vision for the future is the same as making decisions about what you want and don’t want. The vision should be so compelling that it provides the motivation to continue when things become challenging.

Set your Dream Goals.
Once you have a compelling vision, you need create goals to make that vision a reality. I call this the Dream Goals. Failing to have goals is deciding to keep your life the same.

Create a habit.
Effective habits will provide you with a blueprint to achieve the success that you have defined for yourself. Your ability to reach your goals is largely dependent on your ability to create and implement habits. I call these Process Goals and habits are the process to achieve your dream goal.

Set a Support Structure.
There aren’t too many things you can do completely on your own. Others needs to be involved along the way. They might be family, friends, customers, clients, suppliers or partners. You need to make them your support structure in your journey towards success.

Plan the Journey of Change.
The journey to success involves change and change is uncomfortable. How do you handle change? Do you become overwhelmed, grab the remote, and head for the couch with a plate full of cookies? Or do you take a deep breath, step up, and take care of business? Successful people are able to act even when they feel uncomfortable.

Measure and Review.
Having a vision and goals aren’t enough. It’s important to measure and review the results you’re getting. Is your plan working? Could you make some changes that would bring better results? Measure and review your results regularly.

Be Happy and Keep Laughing- Be Positive.
Life is funny. Things will go wrong no matter how well you prepare. Unique opportunities pop up along the way. If you can laugh at life and its follies, you’ll have a better chance of experiencing and enjoying success.

Success doesn’t require anything outside of your control. You need a vision, a plan to get there, and the ability to follow through. You can be as successful as anyone you’ve ever known. Take control.

Life happens in the NOW!!! Creating a vision of your future!!! Set your Goals!!! Take Action!!!
