It has to start with you telling yourself you want to be successful. You have to tell yourself like you really believe it. Your key to succeeding is wanting to succeed and believing it. What is success to you? To some people being successful is just being able to afford whatever they want on the spot. Having the home and vehicle you want. Owning all the toys you want or buying them when new ones come out. Having a healthy loving family really helps to be successful also. It doesn’t make sense to be a millionaire without the love of family. But to everyone success may be different. What do you think of when you think of yourself being successful?
Nobody succeeds in life by doing things half-ass. Most successful individuals are successful because they have worked very hard to get there. It’s not uncommon to see a middle aged man finally being able to afford the toys he always wanted. When was the last time you saw a 20 year old kid driving a Corvette? If you did, it was probably daddy’s toy. You have to plan a long road to success.
Not many people get a chance to be rich when they are young. If someone was born into money or won the lottery, they may see riches earlier in life. The truth is, you have to start planning to be rich and successful right now if you want it to happen. Take each day and use it, to take you a step closer to your success.
If you don’t convince yourself to be successful, you never will be successful. Start planning now to be a millionaire. If you are on your 20′s and you can put about one hundred dollars a month in to a savings account, you will be more than a millionaire before you retire. If you are in your 30′s, you will need to put about 200 dollars a month into a savings account. Start off with a small goal like this until it is a habit. Think about IRA’s; that is another great way to plan on being successful in your future.
You don’t have to be in sales to be successful. Be smart and plan for your future everyday. That’s all you need to do to be successful. Be smart and use money to make money. As you get older you will be in a habit of rolling money over to make more. Instead of always spending money and just making ends meat. Sacrifice now and enjoy life later. Some people won’t be so lucky to live a long life and succeed later. That’s okay, think of your loved ones. Don’t you want your loved ones to be taken care of when you are gone?
You have to not only think of ways to be successful, but you have to actually act on them. The act of actually doing something can be very frustrating, especially if you are not used to it. That’s why you have to try and be successful everyday you can. Make your success a habit so you always do it. Next time you go to the coffee shop and get that coffee, just think: Three dollars a day for coffee is about ninety dollars a month. If you’re in your twenties, that’s enough to make you a millionaire when you retire if you banked that money.
Make little goals and chores throughout the day for yourself. Make those chores guide you to success. Make each goal or chore take you one step closer to success. Even if today’s goals only includes calling mom and going food shopping. Make a checklist, check each chore or goal off as you complete them through the day. Don’t give yourself a reason to finish tomorrow. Your challenge through the day should be completing each chore on your checklist before the day is done. So make your checklist realistic and able to be accomplished in one day.
So start telling yourself today that you WILL BE SUCCESSFUL. Picture what you have to accomplish to make yourself feel successful and take it one day at a time. Don’t forget, your idea of success may be a lot different than someone else’s idea of being successful. If success to you is just being happy, then do what you can each day to accomplish that. Don’t rush or overwork yourself. You have a long time to be successful.
