start Becoming More Successful

10/29/2018

What is the first thing you need to do to become more successful? If you're reading this, you're probably thinking, "Okay, I will buy a book, or I will sign up for some course." Other people might think they have to find the right guru or mentor to help them achieve success.
Those are important but you're putting the cart before the horse if that's your line of thought. There's something more fundamental you need to do. There's something more basic you need to attend to. What am I talking about? I'm talking about belief.
Pay attention to your mental inventory because until and unless you believe you can change, nothing will happen in your life. This is a powerful form of this. This is the most important ingredient in the process of changing your results because you're trying to become more successful.
This is a simple matter of changing your results. Obviously, you're not happy with the results you're getting. You want to be more successful but don't automatically assume that you can change.
Embrace this possibility. Recognize its full features. Stare it in the eyes and let it in. Absorb it. Most people don't go through this. They automatically assume that they can change.

Some People Fail Quickly

10/25/2018

​You have probably read the article title and did a double take. You're probably thinking to yourself, "Why in the world would somebody want to fail quickly?" "Isn't failure something we're supposed to avoid?" "Isn't it something we're supposed to run away from?" "Isn’t it a mark of embarrassment or even humiliation?"
Why in the world would successful people of all people aim to fail quickly? You should understand that successful people know failure is always a possibility. They don't candy-coat it. They don't deny that it exists.
They don't make up excuses for it. They don't dress it up in many fancy rationalizations, excuses, and justifications. They do none of that. Instead, they look it straight in the eye. It's always there. People feel the pain.

​Maybe, it's monetary. Maybe, it's social which means loss of reputation. Whatever the case may be, failure means pain. They realize so they look at what they stand to gain. They do a calculated risk-benefit analysis and if the analysis comes out right, and the project is worth taking on, they still keep looking at the possibility of failure to motivate them.
These people know the difference between wanting to fail and getting ready for setbacks. Their mindset shifts to failing quickly. They want to know if this will not pan out.

One Key Fact about Failure

If you're reading this, chances are you might have met with some form of failure. I know it burns. I know it stings. I know that if given a chance, you'd rather not deal with it and focus more on enjoying the benefits of success.
Who wouldn't? That's how most people would respond but understand that failure is not what you think it is. Most people believe failure usually holds them back from achieving success.

Successful people think differently. They understand that failure can help them succeed. They were  more motivated by gain than intimidated by fear. What does this mean? First, failure means pain. It is difficult since there's pain there. It can be physical pain which is fairly rare but possible but usually, it is a mental and emotional pain.
There's nothing more painful than thinking you've invested a tremendous amount of time, effort, emotional energy, focus, and willpower on something that didn't pan out.
There's also social pain because people knew you were working on something and then now you have nothing to show for it. You feel like a fool. It may not be pointing fingers at you but it doesn't make the pain go away because we want to impress people we love and respect.

Failure can be your Friend

​Did you know failure is your friend? You're probably either laughing out loud or cringing. You probably have this almost irresistible urge to close the window of this article.
Well, hear me out. Most people are afraid of failure. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure that out. This is part of the human condition. They draw us to pleasure and we recoil from pain.
We would love the big mansions, the swimming pools, the global vacations every two months, and the tons of money in the bank, but we hate or we try to avoid putting in day-after-day at the office doing seemingly meaningless work.
​Try to avoid meeting the very difficult people that can lead to great deals but it's murder time to deal with them. We would like to get the reward without going through the painful process. I understand that since that's part of human nature.
This is why we're afraid of failure because we know it guarantees nothing. We can put in the work, the time, the effort and make all the sacrifices and at the end of that process, there's nothing there.
You're left holding an empty bag but you're already failing right now if you're not shooting for your goals and dreams. You really are failing because every day you spend being paralyzed by failure is a day not spent working towards success.

Beliefs That Doom success

​Make no mistake. We choose our own beliefs. There's nobody sitting behind you with a gun pointed to your head telling you to believe certain things. There's nobody threatening to kill you if you don't believe you are worthless, incapable, and not up to the job.
Nobody's forcing you to be miserable. I know that that's an uncomfortable thing to hear because we're human beings. We're trapped in a prison of weak flesh and we would love to have somebody or a situation to blame.
You choose your beliefs and these are the foundation of your reality. They are the lenses which you used to filter out reality. That's what you used to read reality. They're not forced on you. You've voluntarily assumed them. You always have a say.
