Quick Success Secrets



Here are some quick success secrets because we know you’re busy and don’t want to spend your time reading through pages and pages of information. So in a nut-shell, here are the secrets of success. Also check out these success essentials...

Know what ‘success’ means to you

  • What does ‘success’ mean to you – in your career, personal life and relationships. What do you REALLY want?
  • Know that your idea of success needs to be personal and meaningful to YOU.
  • Know that being successful brings satisfaction and contributes to your overall happiness.
  • Understand that ‘success’ isn’t measured in dollars, it’s measured in how satisfied you feel.
  • Understand that happiness is NOT achieved from material possessions, hence understand the fallacy of western society’s culture of consumerism [read the consumerism success secrets to find out why].
  • Visualise your ‘success’ so that you can strive towards it.

Research has shown that ‘happiness’ [not success] is achieved from having meaningful and loving relationships and enough money (about $100,000 pa income). Not having enough money and the ‘stress’ of having too much money both contribute to unhappiness, as do bad and unhealthy relationships.

  • Learn the skills required for success – communication and professionalism.
  • Dress for success – dress to the standards of the job you want [taking appropriate work uniform requirements into account of course!]. Dress like your boss, if your goal is to one day do his job.
  • Always be ethical, honest and act with integrity.
  • Use your initiative and always be on the lookout for opportunities.
  • Use the law of attraction to your advantage.

It’s all about YOU!

  • You are unique and will have a unique set of dreams and desires – follow these, and not anyone else’s.
  • Your personality is also unique to you, and will influence your idea of success and how you achieve it.
  • Understand how your personality influences your success and use this to help you achieve.
  • Know your personal strengths and weaknesses, and use this knowledge to your advantage. These are your personal success secrets.

Get the right attitude

  • 90% of success is about your personal attitude.
  • Know that positive attitude is a powerful force in achievement.
  • Know that a negative attitude is destructive to your happiness and your ability to succeed.
  • Know that your attitude and your mood is governed by you alone and your thoughts – no-one else can control your attitude.
  • Get a positive attitude by exposing your self to positive people, images and media – and avoid negative influences.
  • Use visualisation and positive reinforcement to get the message.

Studies have shown that people you expose themselves to negative ideas, thoughts and environments are more negative, depressed and unmotivated [and therefore less likely to succeed] than people you expose themselves to mostly positive ideas, thoughts and environments.

The media is a major player in providing a negative environment – so don’t watch too much TV!

'The Secret' - that popular success system for attracting wealth - is based on the ability of the brain to respond to positive thought.

Set Goals – regularly

  • It is well known that people with goals succeed, and people who succeed have goals.
  • Goals MUST be meaningful and personal – otherwise you won’t be inspired to achieve them.
  • Goals give you something to aim for.
  • Goals help you focus your time and energy on achieving you’re the right things.
  • Goals give you motivation – because goals are MEANINGFUL and personal to you, you’ll look forward to achieving them.
  • Goals help you break up seemingly impossible dreams into manageable, bite-sized pieces.
  • Your Goals will change as your life progresses. Understand that goal setting is a dynamic and never-ending process if you want your life to be a success.

Want more information on goal setting? Click on the 'About Goals' tab on the NavBar to find out, or advance to the 'How to Set Goals' tab on the NavBar to find out ‘how’.

There are also a number of goal setting systems and software available to help you successfully set and achieve your goals.

Take Action

  • There is no point having READY and AIM if there is no FIRE.
  • Know that no-one has achieved success by sitting on their butt [excuse the language].
  • Know that to achieve success you must TAKE ACTION.
  • For action you need ‘Motivation’, which comes from having goals and the right attitude.
  • Use Action Plans with deadlines to guide you. If goals are your target destination, action plans are your road map to success.

Manage your finances

  • Budget, and make the most of what you’ve got.

  • Invest for your future and plan for retirement.
  • Understand that to make money, you need to spend money – but do this wisely.
  • Understand that high return investments are ALWAYS high risk, or high input. If an investment sound too good to be true, it is!
  • Use tax laws to your advantage, but NEVER break them – the Tax Man will catch up with you eventually. Et advice from an accountant if in doubt.
  • Beware of scams and ‘get rich quick’ schemes. Beware of any scheme from Nigeria – the scam capital of the world!
  • Take care of your big assets – your house, and to a lesser extent, your car.
  • Protect your valuables with insurance – your health, your income, your life and your assets.
