Be Inspired No 56: SUCCESS PRINCIPLES

1

Anything is possible if you are willing to work for it and put in commitment and dedication. For example, if you want to become a successful entrepreneur, you have to be willing to put in the work and make sacrifices.

2

You are the only one who can limit your success. You need to think about success and be creative in finding new ways to achieve it. For instance, if you think you can’t learn a new skill, you won’t be able to, but if you think you can, you will.

3

Set clear goals and make a plan to achieve them. You can learn from ants who work hard in the summer to gather food for the winter. Similarly, you need to plan and work hard to achieve your goals.

4

Take massive action and do proper research to find the best course of action. Don’t just have faith, but work hard and put in the effort to achieve your goals. For example, if you want to start a business, research your target market and take action to make your product or service better.

5

Failure is an opportunity to learn and gain experience. Don’t give up if you fail; instead, learn from it and try again. For instance, if you fail to get a job after an interview, don’t give up but rather figure out what went wrong and try to fix it for the next interview.

6

Surround yourself with successful people and learn from them. As they say, birds of a feather flock together. You can learn a lot from successful people who have achieved what you want to achieve.

7

Learn continuously and never stop learning. You need to keep improving yourself every day to stay relevant and competitive. For example, you can learn new skills, read books, attend seminars, and listen to podcasts.

8

Take good care of your health because it is essential for a successful life. Exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet, and take care of your mental health. For example, if you are not in good health, it will be hard to focus on your goals and work towards achieving them.

9

Practice gratitude and be thankful for what you have. Gratitude attracts more blessings and opportunities. For example, if you are grateful for your job, you will work harder and be more productive.

10

Take responsibility for your actions and never blame others. Making excuses will never rescue you from any situation. For instance, if you miss a deadline at work, take responsibility for it and apologize instead of blaming someone else.

11

Be proactive and stay ahead of time. Plan ahead and be prepared for any eventuality. For example, if you are going to an important meeting, plan your outfit, and arrive early to avoid any delays.

12

Learn to manage your time effectively because it is a valuable resource. You need to understand that opportunity is time-based and once it’s gone, it’s gone. For example, if you want to achieve your goals, you need to prioritize your time and avoid distractions.

13

Build strong relationships with God and people around you. You need people to support you in achieving your goals. For instance, if you have a good relationship with your boss, he or she may support you in getting a promotion.

14

Practice persistence despite difficulties or oppositions. Don’t give up when things get tough. For example, if you face a setback in your business, keep going, and don’t let it discourage you.

15

Explore all available options and focus on solutions, not problems. Don’t be afraid to try new things and take risks. For example, if you face a problem in your business, explore all possible solutions, and choose the best one.

16

Develop a positive attitude and “I can” mentality: This means having a positive outlook towards life and believing that you can achieve anything you set your mind to. Example: Instead of saying “I can’t do this,” say “I can do this if I put in the effort and believe in myself.”

17

Be flexible, adaptable and be calculative in the face of constructive criticism: This means being open to feedback and willing to make changes to improve yourself. Example: If someone points out a mistake you made, don’t get defensive. Instead, take it as an opportunity to learn and improve.

18

Take risks wisely and with understanding: This means being willing to step outside your comfort zone and try new things, but doing so in a thoughtful and calculated way. Example: If you’re starting a new business, take calculated risks based on market research and financial projections.

19

Believe in yourself, improve on yourself, and remain diligent: This means having faith in your abilities and continuously working to improve yourself through learning and hard work. Example: If you want to improve your public speaking skills, enroll in a public speaking course and practice regularly.

20

Give back to society and raise mentees: This means contributing to the betterment of society by helping others and sharing your knowledge and expertise with those who could benefit from it. Example: Volunteering at a local charity or mentoring a young person who is just starting their career.
