1. Draw their success wheel
Different goals often have similar success factors. To succeed at work and, for example, in sport, you need the same thing - the power of the will. But everything else can not be ignored, so the beginning of the project make the analysis of the elements of success and build your own success wheel. How it's done? As easy as pie.
Write down 5-7 of success. Take for example a bicycle race. To win, you need the following: equipment, route, physical training, psychological training, proper nutritionTeam, money, PR and so on.
Draw a wheel, insert each component to vote it on a scale from 0 to 4, where 0 - awful, and 4 - excellent. Done. Now you have your own success wheel, which clearly shows your strengths and weaknesses.
Your task - to make sure that all points you score was 4 - excellent. In this case, a guarantee of success will be equal to 99%. And in any endeavor.
2. Use plan "if, then"
Plan "If there is" very effective in practice. And it is easy to create. You need a plan that takes into account the ingredients for success (as we have done above), obstacles and ways to overcome them. Make a plan, you will create for themselves a space where there are no problems, but only to solve them.
It is simple: in a column titled "If" you enter a risk, and in another - "That ..." - solution. "If I run out of money, I'll take out a bank loan," "If I get tired, then take a vacation for three day "," If the race is time to break the bike, I'll call the support team that brought me spare". The mere existence of such a plan creates a positive attitude. Not to mention the fact that you will protect yourself from risks.
When you know what to do in a difficult situation before the start, it will provide a continuous forward movement. And do not forget that even the most perfect plan needs to be changed, because everything depends on the circumstances. Flexibility - our all.
3. You go around obstacles
How often we hear: "Overcome the obstacles! Do not give up and go forward. " In fact, to do so you need not always. It happens that some of the barriers are too difficult to take. They're just too tough for you. But this is no reason to despair.
The most sensible solution - search for alternatives. Not for nothing in the proverb says that clever in the mountain will not go, clever mountain bypass. Do not forget about it.
Here is an example from the sport. Sometimes cycling last few days. This requires serious preparation, Stamina and that may seem surprising, competent navigation. This is an important success factor. After all, if you get lost at a distance of 200 kilometers, it will not care how fast you are pedaling, because you go at all there.
How can there be a solution? Do not spend weeks on the study of navigation systems and ask for advice from someone who is well versed in this, or buy a navigator. That's all. Issue has been resolved, time saved, and you're halfway to success. Not necessarily always go on board the ship. It is worth thinking about the quiet assault.
4. grind away
We are dazzled by the stories about how the people all his life plagued with failures, suddenly became rich and lucky. Today you have a cleaning lady, and tomorrow - the movie star. In fact, over 95% of such stories is a big job. Happiness rarely falls from the sky, it must be earned.
Between effort and reward directly proportional relationship: the harder you work on your goal, the more you will achieve. So let fear does not stop you from the first step, and meeting with difficulties. Yes, you have to sweat. But is it a dream is not worth it?
5. Do not forget about the law of diminishing returns
We dare the impossible? Fine. Then you need to know what obstacles you encounter on the way. One of them, which is often unsettling (if you've ever sat on a diet, remember how easy first and difficult later) - the law of diminishing returns. The point is simple: the farther you advance, the harder you get better.
If you suddenly become heavier than before, then you are on the right track and is much closer to the goal than before. Just do not give up.
6. evaluate progress
From time to time take your wheel of success and apply it to a new chart that reflects in all aspects of evaluation: something worse, something better. Carry out monitoring on a regular basis. You will clearly see where there has been progress, and there were changes compared to what it was in the beginning. Also see the area without progress and take action in time.
7. Do not give up at the top
There is such a thing as a mountain road to success. Imagine that your goal - it is the highest mountain. To climb to the top, you first go along the plain (which is not too hard) and see how the mountain is coming.
When you come to the foot, continue their journey will not be easy - will need maximum effort. The route is still confusing and complicated. As we approach the mountain you'll try harder, and the top is supposedly moving away. Do not worry, it is quite normal.
In this situation, you need to stay calm. When you came to the valley of the mountain and it seemed to her doorstep, you did not take into account the way serpentine. At the foot of the top of it it seems very close, but in fact have to spend much more effort to subdue her. After all, your speed has become smaller, and the wind - stronger.
And with goals in life. Many people underestimate the size of the final steps and lose. Consider the sharp turns and climb the hill. Then you will not be tempted to abandon the goal at a difficult time.
