Maybe your asking yourself, how can I become successful?
What should I do first?
Success doesn't come instantly. You can only achieve your success with hard work and perseverance. You are responsible for your own success. People around you can help you to be a successful individual but it your level of success still depends on your decisions and actions.
Start learning. Invest in Knowledge.
"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest" -Benjamin Franklin
If you want to become a successful person, start investing in your knowledge. Find your niche or identify the core gift that God has given you. Develop and learn how to be more better than the others. Use your creativity.
Successful people never stop learning. They innovate using the latest technologies available. They keep attending seminars, workshops and training-- constantly updating themselves with the latest developments. Also, you need to have a mentor in your life, someone who shares the same love in your niche and is willing to teach you the tricks of the trade.
"Without consultation, plans are frustrated, but with many counselors they succeed".
--Proverbs 15:22
Mentors help you by sharing their experiences of successes and failures. Having knowledge is not a guarantee that you will not face trials and difficulties but it can be minimized. Get inspiration from people who emerged victorious at the end of their trials. Most of them will generously share their success story.
Knowledge and experience gained when faced with different challenges comes in handy at some stage in life. I want to encourage you to acquire as much knowledge as you can as you go about working on achieving your life’s purpose. You just never know when you will need to call upon it for help.
Knowledge is the beginning of wealth. Discipline is the beginning of health. Wisdom is the beginning of spiritually. Searching and learning are where the miracle processes all begin. Knowledge is the most powerful asset of successful people. It becomes power if and only if we put it into action. This is the secret recipe to success and gaining knowledge would be the main ingredient in it.
“Before success comes in any man’s life, he’s sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps some failures. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and the most logical thing to do is to quit. That’s exactly what the majority of men do”. – Napoleon Hill
The problem with most people is that they are well on their way to success when an obstacle decides to block their path. Most people will attempt to jump this hurdle or blast through the challenging brick wall but when rejected, they decide to turn around, give up and walk away because the task is just too challenging. Most people don’t have the burning desire and persistence to realize their dreams because they feel it’s easier to just be average and carry on like 98-99% of the rest of the world.
No matter what happens, the one thing that can't be taken from you is your mind. And the more you know, the better prepared you are to tackle the hurdles that life throws in your way.
The great breakthrough in your life comes when you realize it that you can learn anything you need to accomplish any goal you set for yourself. This means there are no limits on what you can be, have or do.
Success is the meeting of preparation and opportunity. Difficulties and trials are inevitable part of success and that we need to defeat them by consistent and persistent action. Face your fear, face your challenge. The only thing that can ready you for battle is when you gain knowledge and put in to action.
Remember, failure is a postponed success.
