Success Will Be Yours

Success Will Be Yours

We all have unfulfilled dreams in our life. We all put the utmost efforts we can give to a project but the results at best can be described as mediocre. So what is it that the successful people do differently to achieve the desired goals.

Here onwards we discuss the steps we need to take to achieve the goals we desire in every sphere of our life.

Raj, a very close friend of mine is a living example of how you can achieve what you desire in your life.

I and Raj had both completed our graduation in the same year from the same college and with more or less similar results. But Raj moved at a fast pace in his life and was climbing the steps up the professional ladder at a rapid pace.

We met after almost a decade and he was a General Manager in one of the most sought after corporate house of our country and I had a successful business I had been operating. As a matter of fact Raj’s team member had approached me to fix an appointment so that both of us can meet and discuss a business partnership with there company. To my surprise this was the same Raj whom I had last met during my college days.

The formula for Raj’s success can be best defined in the following steps.

Have a clarity of Desire:- One great thing I learned from Raj is having clarity of desire, he always had a clear and definite desire of what he wants. In fact in one of our interactions in our college days he had said “ Look by 31^st March 1992 I will have a Job as a Junior Executive at “XXXX” Group company with an annual package of Rs. 80,000.00. “

Compare this with the kind of vision most of the job seekers have now a days.

Always treat your employers as your customer: – While this may not sound very soothing to your ears and may make feel you uncomfortable, you need to come out of your comfort zone and accept the harsh fact.

Yes they are your customers who are paying you to avail your skills and services.

Now when you are a customer you always feel delightful when you are given something free by the shopkeeper. Practise the same by giving more service to your employer than you are paid for and one day you will get paid more than what you are supposed to get.

Always give a better perceived value of the product or service than the cash value you have received.

It is important to remember the above sentence always in whatever you are doing whether at profession or in relations.

Even if you feel that your employer is not appreciating your efforts and is not rewarding you suitably, still continue practising it as moving away from it will cause more harm to you.

Always put your best foot forward: It is quite natural for humans to err and at times deviate from the course to reach the destination.

Remember we can reach our destination only when we do things which do not come to us naturally.

Always remember successful people develop a habit of doing things which unsuccessful people avoid doing.

Remember success cannot be achieved by doing things of our natural likes and dislikes. Nor can we be successful by following our natural preferences and prejudices.

One thing which is common among all successful humans, present or past, is that they always moved away from their comfort zone and treaded a path laden with obstacles. If you have to mature from a boy to a man you need to overcome the obstacles life has laid in your path.

The obstacles are not laid to defeat you but they are laid to make you stronger and to enjoy the fruits of success.

Have the Image of your desires to the smallest details It is very common to hear that if you want to be successful you need to define the project to the tiniest detail possible.

Say you desire to own a bungalow in the most posh area of your city. Your visualisation has to be strong enough and should have the smallest  of the details. For example you should even have a clear picture of what type of electrical switches you will have in the rooms.

Never ever deviate from your goal. There will be unforeseen delays and difficulties as you need to accept that life is not a straight line.

Make Every Day Successful Earl Nightingale had once said “One day at a time handled successfully will carry you over every hurdle, and it will solve every problem”

It is important to achieve and enjoy every small victory you attain towards your larger goal. Remember the proverb “Rome was not built in a day”.  Similarly you cannot and will not have the life of your dreams in a few days.

You will take baby steps and with every step you take you will move closer to your goals.

Chose your passions Remember you can only be successful when you do what you enjoy. When your heart is not in what you are doing then you are bound to face failures in your life. It is important that you chose your passion as your profession and achieve the goals of your life.

While effective actions get things done it is important you do a self assessment on a daily basis. Take a note pad and jot down what is the gain you have done on a personal front in the day. What was a near miss from the desired action on your part. Once you start doing this daily accounting of yourself gradually you will find things falling in place and you will start moving closer to your goal. This will gradually vein out the negativity and imbibe positivity in you.
