101 Steps to Success by Nimi Tuntematon
1. Realize your Potential
In order to succeed at anything, you need to see that
you have the potential to reach your goals. For example, if
you want to be a recording artist but have no singing ability,
having success in this field is not likely. However, if you
love working on cars and have a real talent for fixing
engines and transmissions, and to you, success would mean
working for NASCAR, you have potential to learn and
achieve that success.
2. Don’t Look Back
Everyone has failures or mistakes from the past. To
have success, you need to learn from your past and value
those difficult lessons but do not every dwell on the past.
Simply move forward and make better, more educated
decisions from the lessons learned.
3. Dare to Dream
To succeed, you need to have dreams and aspirations.
Be honest with yourself as to what you want out of life and
what you want to give of your life. Allow your mind to
dream and think big.
4. Business Plan
Create a Business Plan as your very first step if you are
planning to build a business. Whether you will be
searching for investors or not, this plan will be the
blueprint to your success. The Business Plan will consist of
market trends, financial planning, competitive analysis, exit
strategies, marketing and promotional options, everything
about your goal. When going before an investor, you will be
required to have a Business Plan. This is by far the most
important document of all. If your success were something
personal, you would not need to create a Business Plan
although a project plan would be a good option to allow you
to keep track of everything involving your goal.
5. Don’t Give Up
To reach success, you have to persevere. Even Thomas
Edison had to learn this. When he was creating the
incandescent light bulb, it took him more than 10,000
times to get it right. Keep striving even when it becomes
challenging.
