Tip 1 – Get clear on what success means to you

Success is different for everyone so before you go out into the world determined to be ‘successful’ you need to know what success looks like for you. Open up your journal and start writing down what success means to you. If you don’t know where to start, try answering some of these questions:

• If you were successful how would you be spending your time?
• Who would you be spending your time with?
• Where would you be living?
• Would you be working, if so what type of work would you be doing?
• How much money would you like to be earning or what would you like your net worth to be?
• What difference in the world are you making?

 

Tip 2 – Set smart goals and keep them top of mind

Tip 3 – Surround yourself with the right people

Jim Rohn famously said “You’re the average of the five people spend the most time with” so if you want to achieve success quicker then it is advisable to surround yourself with other successful people and ideally around people who have already achieved the type of success you want to achieve. A great way to do this would be work with a mentor or coach, or you consider joining a mastermind.

 

Tip 4 –  Put the hours in

Accordingly to Malcolm Gladwell, the key to achieving success in any field is the result of completing 10,000 hours in that field. Now whilst I might not completely agree with that, there is definitely something to be said about putting the necessary hours in. Success takes work and if you want to achieve success quicker, then you need work out the best route to success, but there is no denying that if you are able to put in more hours every day then you will achieve success quicker.

 

Tip 5 – Limit your learning to the current task

If you want to be successful then I am guessing you are someone who likes to invest in their personal development and learn. It is easy to get carried away with constantly learning new stuff, but if you want to achieve success quickly then you need to focus your learning to do with what you are currently working on. Now if you are anything like me this may feel super restrictive, but the point is you are focusing on improving your learning to help you achieve the results you want and are ensuring you are using your new knowledge and skills.
