3 Steps How To Be More Successful In Your Life


Step 1 - Take Full Responsibility For Your Life

Do you believe that life happens on you because it is fate? Or do you believe that whatever happens to you because you choose to? The main difference between a successful person with an ordinary person who is struggling with life is that a successful person will never blame on what had happened to him. Successful people are strong believer in themselves.

Successful people believe that everything happens on them because they choose to. It is because of their decision and action that lead them to the kind of lifestyle they are living today.

On the other hand, if you are struggling through life today, it is because you’re not in control of your life. Instead, you let all the circumstances around you take control of you. People will only struggle through life because they are not in control of what happens to them.

Which means, if you’re in control, you’ll feel happy, you’ll feel satisfy and as a result, you’ll be more successful.

To sum it all, if you want to be successful in your life, you must first learn to be responsible. You have to take the responsibility that whatever happened to your life, happens for a reason.


Step 2 - Follow Your Instinct And Do What You Love

Where do you think that successful people find their motivation to keep going on even if they failed 100 times? It is from doing what they love. When you do something that you love, you’ll automatically come up with the motivation to keep going on. And this is the number one motivational source of every successful person.

If you think that successful people are all workaholic and they don’t have the time to enjoy their life, then you’re wrong. To them, they’re not working, they’re enjoying simply because they’re doing something that they love so much. They’re willing to do it even if they’re not making any profit or getting any pay. If you’re willing to do this, you’re definitely doing something that you love to do.

So focus in doing what you love, and then only try to make money from it. Most people thought that they should work hard and then make money from their hard work and so they can enjoy their life with the money they have.

But this is not what a successful person would think. For a successful person, he’ll do something he loves, he’s enjoying what he is doing while making money from the process and keep enjoying what he is doing. This is the real mindset of a successful person.

You’re struggling in life because you’re trying to profit from something that you hate to do. When you dislike to do something, you’ll never put in 100% commitment into doing it better. So find out what you love to do today and keep doing it.


Step 3 - Commit To Life-Long Learning

Constant learning and never-ending improvement are vital in ensuring your success in your field. I know that if you’re going to be a millionaire, you must be the top 5% in your field. When you become the top 5% in your field, you’ll definitely make more money than those who are in your field.

And the only way you can become the top 5% in your field is through committing to life-long learning in your field and apply the knowledge into your life.

Think about it, can you commit yourself and spend 30 to 60 minutes everyday to read a book? If you can, you’ll probably finish a book in a week. This means that you’ll finish 50 books in a year. Compare to others, how many books do you think most people will read? The answer is none. Most people are not going to read any books right after they leave their school.

Therefore, if you can commit yourself to this self-improvement habit, you’ll definitely transform yourself into the top 5% in your field. Some people might say that it takes 1 year to finish 50 books, which is a long time. However, you must remember that no matter you spend the 60 minutes into reading or you spend it to watch television, you’re going to lose that 60 minutes as well.

You cannot stop time, you can only benefit from it by doing something constructive. And this is what you’re going to do with it, use the time to learn and improve. Wake up 30 minutes early each day and use that time wisely to improve yourself.

You can also attend seminars and workshop to improve your knowledge in your field. Don’t wait for seminars to come to you, instead, go for those seminars. And listen to audio when you’re travelling, this will leverage the most from your time.

These are the 3 steps that you’ll need to be more successful in your life. To be successful is not an overnight process, you must go through all the process first before you can see the results. Success is a process, it is all about getting things done. So follow through these 3 steps today and start to transform yourself into a super achiever.
