10 Laws Of Success - Are you successful in your business? Do you get out of it exactly what you had wishes for? Or are you like 97% of the people, struggling to make a success with your business? If so, maybe you are missing one or more of these success laws, which also applies to different areas of your life.
1. Your actions will be rules by many things like passion, appetite, love, greed, fear. Environment, prejudice and habits. Habits is the most controlling one of the list. Og Mandino writes in his book, "The Greatest Salesman In The World", that the only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits.
There is only one way to get rid of bad habits; you must replace it with a good habit. As humans, we are creatures of habits. That being said, develop habits that bring you closer to your goals instead of those that push you away from them. Ask yourself all the time if what you are doing will take you closer to your goal or closer to failure.
2. You must open your heart to love. No , I am not trying to be the romantic here. But this is the greatest secret to success, Love is a choice. You can hate the sun for being too hot, or you can love it for the light it brings to our lives, the energy to the living. You choose to fight with people that criticize you instead of using that criticism in a peaceful manner and build on it. With loving acts, you are more free to think clearly, to create good habits, to concentrate on your goals. Without that love within yourself, you lack that concentration, you think more of what is bothering you, and further move away from your goals and create bad habits. Most importantly, love yourself. You must live with yourself the rest of your life, make the best of it and make decisions you are sure you can live with.
3. You must stay persistent. We all heard of Alexander Graham Bell's attempts when discovering the telephone technology. There have been more failures than success. As long as he learned from those failures, and learned to form them into lessons. The telephone system has given us so much in today's world because of his failures at first. The same in business, learn from your mistakes and you will be a step closer to your goals. All goals bring you up to your success.
The problem most of the time is that the path is so cloudy that we don't see how far that ladder extends. If you give up at step number 91 and the end of that path is at step 100, you just wasted precious time you will never get back and walk away from you success. As Og Mandino says: "Success often lies just a few short steps beyond the point where we decide to quit." Be persistent and with your goal reaching habits, you will be in the right direction. "Success will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough"~~ Og Mandino
4. Remember you are nature's greatest miracle. There is not one creature on earth that has the power to think, talk, have emotions, feel the way a human can. And even within our own species, you are unique. There has never been or ever will be anyone with your same DNA. We are unique and must capitalize on that uniqueness to offer others more. The more you can offer to others that can't do it themselves, the better your success.
5. Don't procrastinate. Live as if today was your last chance. You can never get back the time you wasted. But you do have the chance to make great things with the time you presently have available to you. If today was your last chance to increase your business for your future, what would you do? The same should be applied to different areas of your life. If today was your last day on earth, how would you treat your family? What would you do with your time? Treat today as if it were your last chance in business, your last day with your family and you will have a successful life with no regrets.
