5 Ways to Guarantee your Success…
January 22, 2008
With all the talk of being in a recession you may be saying how can I guarantee success. Well think about this for a second if others can continue to be successful through a recession why can’t you. Before I get into the 5 ways to guarantee your success let me say this. You have to decide what success is to you. Is it just making a lot of money, or are there other things that are important to you? Success looks different for everybody but you have to decide what it is for you.
You have to find out what the successful people around us are doing. Understand that success principles work the same for everybody. If you want to be successful long term it is going to take work. (no get rich quick schemes here)
Continue your education. If you are not currently as successful as you would like to be than you have to learn why that is not working. If you keep doing what you have always done you will get what you always have gotten. The key is always be learning and getting better. Continue to improve your skills and develop your philosophy. Their are many ways to do this. The simplest is to read a half hour a day in your given profession. If you are blue collar and want to change than find a book that takes you in the direction of your goals. You can also go to seminars and workshops.
Create your own blueprint for your life. I know that some of you who read this are saying this should be first. To that I say, if you don’t find out what it takes to be successful and if you don’t develop your own personal philosophy through the reading of books and seminars, you will not understand the importance of your own blueprint for life. Your blueprint is your plans and goals for your life. A blueprint is critical to the building of a house. It is just as critical for your life. People do not plan to fail they just fail to plan.You must make a plan if you want to guarantee your success.
Success takes all out massive action. After you create your blueprint or your plan. You have to take action. There is no point in making a plan if you don’t take the action required. Just remember that success takes work and you will have to give up some tv time and other hobbies until you reach the level of success you are looking for.
Never quit on your dreams of being successful. The only way to fail is to quit. Yes there are going to be some bumps on the journey to success but they are what makes being successful the joy that it is. Most people quit when they are 5 feet from the gold. So when you hit a pot hole in the road, remember every successful person has hit them. Always know that you deserve to be successful.

Hey Lee,
Great article. The only way to fail is to stop trying! So many people just stop trying and then blame someone else for their lack of commitment. Commitment will always get you ther because the very meaning is that you will never stop. You hit the nail on the head. Deb

Our world has changed. Even if we have all the weapons for success, there is still no guarantee. A lot of people got good education, good experience, good training,…etc. but still get stuck somewhere. Education will no longer guarantee us success. Our workplace has changed. The way business is done changed. It’s no longer what you know, but whom you know. Success needs a combination of factors favorable to us at the RIGHT time. No matter what, NEVER STOP TRYING. Because he will definitely not succeed if he stops trying.
Let’s hear what these great men said about success.
Albert Einstein said: Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value.
Albert Schweitzer said: Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
Benjamin Franklin said: There are no gains without pains.
Bernadette Devlin: Yesterday I dared to struggle. Today I dare to win.
Corita Kent said: Life is a succession of moments. To live each one is to succeed.
Havelock Ellis said: It is on our failures that we base a new and different and better success.
