Steps to become successful

• Planning is crucial and perhaps the most important step to your success. As the saying goes, failure to plan is in fact plan to fail. It is surprising that many people act on impulse and do things based on feelings rather than based on well thoughtout plans.

• Prepare yourself to change your views, habits and your thought patterns.
As I have indicated in my earlier blog, we need to be flexible with regards to carrying out actions to achieve our goals. If necessary go ahead to change the process, change our approach and path to achieving our goals.

• Only pursue tasks that are important. You must divide your needs from your wants – there is a fine line, so exercise discrimination.

• Watch your personal financial situation. Budget well and reduce spending.

• Surround yourself with people with a positive persona and those who are successful. Read books about people who have succeeded in life.

• Do not pretend to be who you are not. Be yourself and do not show off.

• Expand your horizon and be enthusiastic and ambitious.

• It is good to increase your income but it is even better to invest in assets that will make you wealthy.
• Prepare to work hard and make sacrifices.
