In any home based business just as in life we all have some idea of what success means to us. In this article I am going to give you the five steps to success, which will help you begin the journey of a successful business and a successful life.
Step 1: Define Success
If you were to ask everyone to define success they would all come up with a different answer. So to find out what success means to you, you will need to list them as quickly as they come to you on a piece of paper. This could be anything from material possessions like a new car to personal items that mean something only to you. An example of that would be to spend time with your aging parents and be able to stay as long as you want. Not being told you can only stay a week because that is all that your job allows.
Once this task is complete, take 30 minutes or so to do this, you then have to sit and prioritize that list. This has to be done on a happiness scale. So whatever will give you the most satisfaction and make you the happiest will be rated as #1.
This list will help you to focus on what will improve your life significantly.
Step 2: Asking the Why
Once you have defined success you need to take a closer look at why you want to be successful. Does this mean you will have more freedom, less stress, a better relationship with your family etc? Once you have your why you will increase your ability to succeed but you need to review that why daily. Post this somewhere that you can see it daily so you will be motivated to keep going when times get tough.
Step 3: Assess Your Situation
You first need to know where you are so you can determine the best way to get where you want to go. To do this you need to take the list that you developed in step one and assess how close you are to reaching those goals. You may be close to reaching some but still have work to do to reach others but with work and perseverance you can achieve all of those goals.
Step 4: Determine a Course of Action and Start Your Journey
Just like taking a road trip you need to chart your course so you can determine the most direct route. To do this you need to follow the twelve success factors previously posted and remember that you are not alone. Seek the information that you require by people that have been there and done that. Educate yourself and find a good coach that can offer guidance when you need it.
Once you have determined your course of action start immediately.
Step 5: Chart Your Progress
Make sure that you stop at regular intervals so that you can chart your progress. This helps you stay on track and helps you to determine if you are where you wanted to be at the right time. Making sure that you are on track also keeps you motivated to keep going. By seeing how far you have come and how close you are to reaching the goals on your list will renew your energy and help you to keep pressing forward.
There is a program that is now available on line that is unlike any other. It is called 180daystogreatness and has been in the making now for four years by creator Nadira Haniff. It is a hands on program that gives people enrolled one-on-one coaching to develop both mindset and skill set that is required to be a successful leader. Once your business is soaring you will have the opportunity to renew confidence and belief in others so that they too can achieve incredible heights in their financial and personal life.
