The 5 Steps That Successful People Are Taking

Among all the people I've read success stories from, as well as the successful people I've interviewed myself, I have found a common thread. They all had a very specific goal in mind along with a vision. Here are the 5 detailed steps that successful people have taken and still taking to get where they are.

They Have a Goal

If you don't have a specific goal of what you want to accomplish, it will be very difficult for you to actually get it. Wishful thinking is definitely not enough to accomplish something of importance that will be life changing for you. You need to have a specific goal.

They Have a List

It's a good idea to make a list of the steps that you need to take to go from point A to point B. Your list could be starting from very short term, like what you want to accomplish by next week, or next month, to long term such as where you want to be in one, 5 or 10 years from now.

Just remember that the more specific your list, the faster the results.

They Use a Vision Board

A Vision board does the same job a list does (in a way), but it's obviously indented to put a visual form of your goal in front of you. Make your vision board very specific too. Add pictures, quotes, goal statements. Everything you may want to add is fine.

Just make sure you look at your board each day and reflect on it. It will keep your vision fresh in mind. The board is NOT your vision; it's a helper for your vision to be in front of you at all time.

They Use Positive Affirmations

Now, I'm not going to lie to you like some so called coaches have done and still do, by telling you that positive affirmations work like miracles. They don't! The reason why affirmations don't work for a lot of people is because they don't match their current beliefs.

What do I mean by that?

I mean that if you are complete broke and recite all day long that you are a millionaire it's not going to work for you, because you would be lying to yourself. Instead of actually getting richer, you'd be getting more frustrated and desperate wondering why this is not working for you.

Your positive affirmations need to make sense to YOU "subconsciously" in order to work. This is usually the big misunderstanding about positive affirmations.

They Take Action

Once you have a goal, a list of events to be unfolded, a vision board helping you with your vision, and positive affirmations that make sense to your subconscious mind, you'll have all the foundations for success. However, it doesn't mean that it's all you have to do.

Taking proper actions along with all the above will be vital for your success as well. The difference is that if you do follow this recipe for success along with your actions you will hit your target faster, and stronger.

Make sure you apply these 5 steps to success and you'll be on your way for a better life.
