What does it take to be successful?
Ask around and you will find different answers to the formula of success. The truth is, success leaves clues and you can achieve the success in the area you desire by observing the common qualities and principles. They are simple and considered to be common sense but most people simply do not follow them.
Let me share with you one of my favourite quotes:
“There are no secrets to success. It is the results of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure”
Colin Powell
As stated in that quote, there are three key factors to achieve massive success in your life:
Preparation
You don’t have to wait for everything to be perfect. Start with the first step and keep moving. Success doesn’t happen overnight. Prepare, prepare, and prepare. You must be ready to receive the success you desire. Set your sight to the destination that you want to achieve, then work and prepare for the moment when the opportunity knocks your door.
Hard Work
Success needs hard work. Don’t listen to these "get rich quick" schemes. You need to build your character and work hard on yourself and your business to achieve greatness. Work hard and work smart. Do the right things and do them in the right way. Don’t procrastinate. Take bold actions. Craft your legacy. Personal development and spiritual growth is also considered to be "hard work" because truthfully healing and awakening is not a rainbow process. It is about rediscovery of who you are and this is not always an easy process.
Learning from failure
Successful people do not see failures as failures. They see them as important learning lessons. Lessons that are capable of giving them insights to prevent such mistakes from happening again. By adopting this mindset of turning each failure into a learning lesson or opportunity, you can never fail until you yourself quit.
