The Twelve Success Factors in Your Home Based Business - Part 3

There is no easy way to become successful. It takes a lot of hard work and most of all perseverance. There are twelve factors that you can learn and once they are applied it will increase your ability for lasting success.

Self-Awareness

Self-awareness is being conscious of our actions, feelings, attitudes and their effects. Once we have full self-awareness we get to be much better at determining which actions benefit us and which actions do not.

We sometimes, as humans, have a tendency to make excuses for not achieving the goals that we have made for ourselves. Once we are aware of the excuses that we make and we stop blaming others we often start searching for ways that we can accomplish our goals rather than looking for the reasons why we cannot get something done.

Act “As If”

In order to achieve success we have to act as if we already have success. The video/book The Secret was very good at trying to get this point across. We attract to us the way that we think. If we act as if we will be successful we will become successful much quicker. You do of course still have to do the work to get there but you will attract success to you much quicker. I am not saying go buy a mansion, I am speaking about the traits that a successful person has. Those traits are that of focus, perseverance, dedication and passion.

Zero-Based Thinking

It sometimes becomes difficult to make decisions when we are trying to succeed. So we need to apply a technique called zero-based thinking. It is simply a matter of asking yourself a few questions that will clear your mind and give you an honest answer. The question is simply “If I was not doing this right now and knowing what I already know would I start it up again?” If you say no then you best change the path you are taking. If you say yes then stay focused and drive to the finish line.

Once you start to ask that simple question you can make decisions quickly and without distractions.
