Mindset I 10 Tips For A Successful Life…

A wise man told me recently: "when your output exceeds your input, your upkeep will be your downfall."

My life changed that day and I realized that I cannot help the needy if I am one of them. We often put our own health and life goals on the back burner and sell out strictly for gain in other areas. We end up out of balance when balance is exactly what we need.

Hear me out. It can be a tough economy out there and there are many reasons why, but please avoid the victim trap and get your head on straight. You have control over your life.

Use these tips to make this year your best year yet:

1. You Are Responsible For All Of Your Life.

Take a moment to look truthfully at your results in every area of your life: money, relationships, business, health, intimacy, etc. Take 100 percent responsibility for everything in your life and everything missing in your life then you leave no one else to blame and can begin creating the life of your dreams. You deliberately create all that is your reality and attract only what you deliberately create.

2. Create A Strong "Why" With Clarity.

Make your "why" big enough and important enough so you will never get consumed and stopped by "how" to achieve a goal (success). Your why must be bigger than every obstacle you will encounter on the road to success. Your why must always be bigger than the how. Your why must be developed with a passionate energy.

3. Focus Most of Your Energy On What You Want.

Focus 80% of your energy on what you want. Having clarity is a powerful part of the process. Take time, as much as needed, to get crystal clear on exactly what you want in your life and focus on it. Be bold. Most people never get what they want because they never know exactly what they want. There is power in clarity.

4. Surround Yourself With Like-Minded, Positive People.

The old saying is "you are known by the company you keep." This is very true. Some say we are the average of the 5 people we hang out with the most. Take inventory of all the positive influences in your life and dump all the negative ones. Attend personal development events, listen into mastermind calls and read/listen to positive materials. Invest in yourself and your growth. Your income and quality of life will never exceed your personal development. Remember that no thought ever lives in your head rent free.

5. Take Massive Action.

This is the single most important step in achieving success. For every action there is a result and it will either take you closer to success or move you further away. Notice your results. Take inventory as needed on your path to success and make slight adjustments before getting immediately back into action.

6. Take More Action.

Never be stopped by the feelings of doubt or uncertainty. You are simply expanding past your current comfort zone. Every master was once a disaster. It's a normal pathway to success. To master anything you are going to have to practice in spite of any uncertainty or doubt and the more you practice the quicker you will achieve success. Practice never makes perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.

7. Keep Moving Towards Your Goals With Unshakeable Focus.

Many people slow down at the first signs of success. They simply slow down too soon and stop taking the actions that got them there. How many people are you going to share your life's mission with? As long as you live, right?

8. Set Goals. Achieve. Celebrate.

Write down goals that are achievable and stretch you, then take consistent action to achieve them. If your goal is on paper it is tangible and subject to modification without confusion. Include your spouse and children when setting goals so that they understand and support you. Support is huge. Once you achieve a goal go celebrate! Go on a trip together and enjoy the fruits of your hard work. It's then time to set a new goal that stretches you all over again.

9. Latch On To A Greater Vision. Leave A Legacy.

In my opinion all people want to leave a legacy, want to contribute, and want to feel that they have left the world a better place. On your road to success find ways to serve others. The more people you help the more value you will place on your success and the more success you will attract. When you "become," you then attract more and more of what it is your heart desires. When you "become" you are living with purpose. 

10. Have Fun.
Change your definition of fun. Commit to having health, wealth, and to having the most fun.  

With Unshakeable Focus, Become Unstoppable...

Successful people all share similar human qualities: passion, heart, determination, focus, coach-ability, and belief in the end result. None of them (successful people) are consumed by the "How To." They simply stay focused on the attainment of their dreams ("the why") and on taking consistent and persistent daily action to achieve those dreams.

We are creature of habit. For the most part our habits are subconscious. "Psycho Cybernetic Mechanism" (the psycho) gives off a chemical reaction every time it senses physical or emotional danger, which then triggers feelings of doubt, apprehension, uncertainty, fear and a general feeling to retreat. You must act in opposition to negative feelings and self-talk in your head.

Sadly, for most of us, we learn how to merely survive and not thrive in this world of endless possibility. Consider that by the time you are age 17 you have heard the word "no" 150,000 times and the word "yes" only 5,000 times. “I can't” then becomes a program, a "habit of thought."

You can become unstoppable with unshakable focus and a conscious awareness of how the mind works in forming habits.
