Kick Your Way To Success

No man in the world does not desire success. Actually every path to success starts with a great idea. There’s only one problem: good ideas are everywhere. When successful, what really matters is not having an idea, but having the courage to make it a reality. This usually means losing the sense of security of a normal job and the risk of getting a steady salary.

Even with a great idea and the courage to pursue it, your efforts will be worthless unless you are willing to take massive action. Write down your goals and the action steps you will take to pursue those goals. 1 Share it with others, so they will hold you accountable for achieving your plan. Make yourself responsible and master of your destiny.

Without passion, even the greatest vision will become weaker. Without passion, your energy and enthusiasm will flag when you meet with inevitable obstacles. 2

It’s the force allowing you to devote every moment of your workday to bring you closer to the success you are eager to.

Once you’ve made a decision, doubt is a worm that eats away at your ability to succeed. Life and work can be hard and even cruel. Remember, the race is not for the swift but rather those who persevere. Rather than allowing doubt to affect your progress, you should be confident in your vision and plan. 3

The old sayings of “no one is an island” and “there is a powerful man” may sound a bit old, but they don’t make them unreal. 4 Meeting regularly can be positive and provide new perspectives on your approach. The Internet makes it very easy to find a coach, an instructor, or a planning group that can provide the emotional support, experience, and wisdom to help turn your vision into reality.

A. Make your passion a physical trait of your personality.

B. Post your vision and plan in your bedroom, bathroom, office.

C. However, taking the easy way of dishonesty has a tendency to sneak back up on you.

D. In the process, adapt to your needs, but know that success will ultimately be yours.

E. Even with self-discipline, in the long run, you’ll need contact with spiritual leaders.

F. In the end, it causes far more problems than taking the risk of telling the truth.
