11 habits that will make you successful

1. Put ambitious goals

Goals are easier to achieve when they:

• Sound internal motivation. Napoleon Hill said: "The desire - is the starting point of all achievement. Do not hope, no desire, and longing that overcomes everything. "
• Quite complex. Otherwise they will not motivate.
• Limited in time. Deadline forced to drop artificial limitations and to think creatively.

We get what we want. If you prefer to find excuses and justifications to explain the lack of progress in your life, then just recognize that you prefer your current situation. Self-acceptance will help to calm down. Well, if you aim for the development of more than a convenience, obstacles will not stop you, and move forward.

2. Program your subconscious

When we are awake, our consciousness and subconscious are in conflict. For example, you want to be optimistic, but the subconscious is still acting like a pessimist. However, you can reprogram yourself. During daytime sleep are replaced by beta waves to alpha waves, then the theta and delta rhythm. In the period of the theta rhythm brain is most receptive, then, and you can rebuild your subconscious patterns. No wonder Thomas Edison said, "Never go to bed without asking for something in my subconscious."

Try before going to sleep to visualize and even verbalize aloud what you want to achieve. Visualization will help get emotional experience. You have to feel what it is - to reach the goal.

When you've set up your subconscious, you have during the day will arise related to your order to the thoughts and ideas. Be sure to fix them immediately and try to bring them into action. If you ignore these tips subconscious, it will cease to offer them to you.

3. Study and work in unusual conditions

In 1905, Einstein published four scientific papers that altered the foundations of modern physics and our understanding of space, time and matter. It is curious that he wrote them are not in a physical lab or his office, and at the Swiss Patent Office. Work in such conditions allowed him not to focus on laboratory methods.

When your working conditions are different from those of the majority in your field, you will be able to do unexpected findings, combine ideas from different fields.

If reading is the same as reading the rest, you will think the same way as everyone else. And if you think like everyone else, you can not come up with anything new and unique. Be curious. Look for the little-known sources to learn what no one else studied. Then your work will be really valuable to others.

4. Pay attention to the process (rather than results) of those who are successful

If you want to improve in some area, watch for people that have achieved success in it. But the focus is not on the results of their work, and that is exactly how they are doing. Then you will understand that, too, can achieve a lot, because the process is to succeed, it is your behavior that is totally dependent on you. And if you think only of others' results, you will, on the contrary, want to give up.

By studying the methods of work of successful people, do not try to repeat all the details.

Everyone has its own strategy. And then, even successful people are in something err. Identify patterns and empower key skills that you could use. Having mastered them to expand and deepen these models to surpass those whom you admire over time.

5. Bring the most effective actions to automatism

Studying something new depends on the memory and how you use it. First, the prefrontal cortex, which is stored in short-term memory, understands how to perform the action. But when you have mastered it, it released almost 90%. Now you will perform this action automatically, and the brain at this time will be able to focus on something else.

6. Learn by doing

We've learned that you must first learn the theory and then move on to the practice. And the availability of information has led to the fact that we often use training as a form of procrastination. However, to learn something the best in action. This approach is called context-based learning. Here are its basic principles:

• to explore the concept in its simplest form;
• Use the basic knowledge in the real world;
• try to get advice and feedback (which is often expressed as a "failure");
• apply the resulting criticism in practice;
• again get feedback;
• Repeat until you reach mastery.

7. In the early focus on quantity rather than on quality

Not everything that is producing outstanding people, is an outstanding quality. Picasso created thousands of works of art, but only some of them are considered masterpieces. Einstein published 248 scientific articles, but only a few of them brought him fame.

Number - this is the way to quality. The more you produce, the more you will have to appear ideas. And some of them may turn out to be original and innovative.

8. Track your results

If you want to get better at something, measure their performance. Otherwise, you just will not know what your progress. Tracking and measuring results will help to see and objectively assess their weaknesses. You will understand, on what it is you need to focus and be able to systematically develop in this direction.

9. Find a mentor who waits on you more than you do

Expectations surrounding a profound effect on what we achieve in life. As a child, the bar set expectations of parents. They form an invisible barrier to overcome which then is difficult.

Nevertheless, it is quite possible. A person can always evolve and adapt. Of course, it is difficult to grow and change, sometimes unpleasant, but if you do not give up, gradually you will overcome all the invisible barriers. Especially if you support the right mentor. That is why it is so important to surround yourself with people who expect a lot from you.

10. Remember that you will not be able to evolve and always work with a mentor

A mentor can teach you only a certain set of skills. If you want to develop further, you will need a new teacher. A good mentor understands this and will strive towards this. Teaching you, he sends you his knowledge, and it is in your work and your successes, he will continue to live.

But do not forget to acknowledge the merits of their mentors. You have been successful not only because of himself, but also thanks to their help. Never speak ill of them, and those who once helped you along the way.

11. Think flexible

People often unnecessarily classify all around, and then fall into the trap of their own classifications. If you look at everything with just one hand, it would seem that your options are limited. But almost always something that you seek is within your reach. To do this, just need to change your perspective on things.

Worst of all, when you perceive yourself limited. Do not let your prejudices and entrenched classifications define you and your behavior. You do not know who can become and what you can achieve. Look at things from different perspectives and minded flexible, Then your options are limitless.
