Are you aspiring for more? All those people you see walking down the street, or on the front of a trendy magazine or a lifestyle commercial. They didn’t just get to where they are because they were extra special or it was handed to them on a silver platter. They got there through pure action, hard work and time.
What’s that? You want to make it to the same spot or above and beyond…
Well I am glad you asked – here are 11 top tips that if utilized correctly, they can steer you in the right direction when aspiring for more:
1. Get Over Your Fears
The more you face your fears, the stronger you will be. Embrace one today!
2. Give Yourself Challenges
Learn something new every day. Even the little things you learn can be extremely valuable. Write down what you learn.
3. Love what You Do
Steve Jobs says that if you don’t truly believe in what you are doing, you are never going to be completely satisfied in your life. Do what you love and you will love what you do.
4. Plan Your Financing
Know your expenses, abide by a budget, plan to save, set saving goals, identify your priorities, diversify your savings, automate transfers and then watch your savings grow. Let your money work for you.
5. Be Willing to Take Risks
You never know if something is going to work unless you try. If it doesn’t work, learn from it and try something else.
6. Know What You Want
The clearer your vision is, the better able you will be to see it and see what you have to do to make it happen. Embrace your vision and follow your dreams.
7. Listen to Complaints
Bill Gates has said that your “most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.” They can teach you what you are doing wrong and help you to succeed. This is the same for feedback/constructive criticism.
8. Learn from Your Mistakes
Your mistakes are your best teacher, as long as you are learning from your mistakes. Identify you have made one, reflect on it, then apply a plan to move forward. But this time you will be smarter.
9. Take Action
If you don’t do anything with your ideas, you aren’t going to be as successful as you want to be. Walt Disney said that the “easiest way to get started is to quit talking and start doing”. Don’t be an all talk and no action kind of person…
10. Put In Your Time
You need to work hard, and put in a lot of hours to be successful. Steve Jobs once said, “If you look closely, most overnight successes took a long time”. The more time you spend working on your success, the quicker it will happen.
11. Set Goals
Remind yourself everyday about your goals, and each time you do so, jot down a way that you can reach those goals. As you progress, mark out your milestones. Once you accomplish a goal, give yourself a pat on the back and move onto the next one.
This is all great… but as Guy Kawasaki said
“Ideas are easy. Implementation is hard.”
