How To Be Successful

Business : Career Techniques

The fast track to success. How do you get on it?



As the old saying goes 'know thyself'. A piece of age old wisdom, but it is a good 'un. Oh yes. Note the key events in your life. Look at what abilities and skills they gave you. Write down challenges, successes and so on that you have had during your life to date. Add in the qualities that friends and family most associate with you. Ask them! With this picture in mind, you will have more cinfidence to develop your ambitions further for the future.



Avoid little niggles and irritations that can reduce your energy levels. Try and remove these things gradually. They could just be little things like a clock in your house that never tells the right time, or in which the battery has gone. These little niggles can have a surprising effect. Learn to ignore them, or if you can't do that, do something about them.



Is there something you really want but are not going after? Then something is holding you back. Write down a list of the things that are preventing you from reaching that goal of yours - to move and work overseas, for instance. Remind yourself of the reasons that you want to go as well. Eventually the positive thoughts and so on shoudl drive you towards your goal, or at least allow you to assess it and its practicality in a clear light.



Finally, make sure you continue to do things that you enjoy doing. Free some time for this. If you don't have time each day set aside to do things that you enjoy then success may be harder to come by as frustration and fatigue set in. These aren't the friends of success. Stay positive.
