Success and Wealth Covered in 4 steps
The success is something that is left to be judged on case by case basis. Only a handful of people in modern democracies consider themselves as really successful. Success is not that easy to measure. Success can not be judged by one person, as it has broader social meaning. Regardless to how we judge ourselves, we all share more or less the same picture of how a successful life looks like. There are two universal factors that people identify with word “success”. The first one is most likely to be “wealth”. Human nature is such that it urges for goals which are hard to achieve and are rare. Wealth is surely one goal that corresponds to previous statement. In global view wealth is extremely rare. At the end of the twentieth century a study found that richest 2% of people own well over 50% of global household assets. But wealth should not necessary be generalized on greed or materialism. You can understand the word “wealth” as the stage of no fears, no stress if you want. In USA wealth may mean having a good job and a swimming pool in a wealthy neighborhood. Not having a swimming pool there, would cause you fear of not fitting the surrounding. Fear of not being “suitable” for a neighborhood where each house has a pool. In some less developed part of the world wealth could mean being able to travel abroad on vacations once a year or being able to put children to college. The second category tightly connected to the word success would be “respect”. Having respect more or less means being appreciated by the community for the work we do. Respect in its core means is no less than being loved by others. Love and respect are the essential motivating factors. They both are responsible for happiness and joy, two qualities that can not be covered by material wealth.
If you took a closer look at the terms generally accompanying the success, you realized that being successful means having a nice life and receiving love from others.
How will you get there and which steps will have to be followed? There are 4 really strong principles to implement in your life. They will have immense impact on your future. You should make them a part of who you are.
Here are your 4 steps to success:
1. Do things other people are afraid of!
There is a mathematical term called “normal distribution”. Normal distribution curve can be studied on people and it is a generally established statistical tool for observing probability in nature. This theorem tells you that an average guy in an average world will most probably fall into two thirds of average people, with average life and average wealth. That means you are most probably a part of 98% of people that do not own over 50% of worlds wealth. Why are you not among that 2%? It is because you have decided to fall into a trap of “mediocrity”. All you need to do is to get out of it and to understand that you do not need to be an average guy. How to do it? Do the things other people are afraid of! Majority of people are afraid of public performance. Well, do not be like that. An average guy would never dare to contact a successful businessman to present him an idea he believes in. Be different. So do not be an average person, do not fall into that bucket of majority. Be special, act special; feel like a special kind of person, because you are special!
2. Search for motivation within yourself!
Motivation is the hardest part of climbing that latter of success. But did you ask yourself why is it so hard to be motivated 24/7? It is because we all try to find motivation in things, in other people, in other destinies. It is perfectly normal to observe the world and to find “not average” individuals that built their life in a way you would like to. But you should never pump your energy from other people success. The easiest motivation is the so called “he motivation”. If he could do it, I can do it as well. That is the poorest way to drive your dreams forward. What will happen? Life will put hurdles on your way, hurdles that no other successful person had to cross. And you will stumble, thinking that no one has ever made it with such a bad luck. That happens when pumping motivation from other people successes. Each and every single one of them had to deal with one or the other kind of misfortune. Not with the same one as yours, but with just as painful as yours. How to find motivation within yourself? Firstly build your own success story out of your life. That will take courage to accept bad luck and not become a part of that bad luck. And secondly, you have to realize that you are unique because you have the choice to be different. Today you can learn to write down a single word in “Swahili”. It will immediately propel you among less than 0.001% of people that can do that. It does not take much to be different. It is just an example of how fast can you become something special, unique. It does not take money or beauty or luck to be different. It just takes courage. What ever you do, never think of failing. Do not attract thoughts that will most certainly try to lure you back into misery. And there really is no use to spend your life worrying. You are the one who decides where to go, what to do, how to do it and what to think about it. If those 4 elements are in positive alignment, this equation really has just one result called success.
3. Do some mistakes!
There are some mistakes you will have to do, even though you know you will fail. Some mistakes can not and should not be learned from others. If you are not prepared to go wrong, there is no way you will learn the positive effect of doing mistakes. Nobody is perfect and the beauty of life is to be able to fall, to learn, to rise and to succeed. The average rate of successful business meetings in a consultancy branch is at 1%. You will have to fail 99 times in order to become good enough to succeed at the meeting number 100. That 100th person will support your goals and will make it worth falling 99 times. But if you would not have failed 99 times, you would never have had a chance to gain experience of making that 100th business meeting a real success. The marketing people tend to say “I know that 60% of money I invested in advertising has failed its purpose, but I will never know which 40% made the real impact”. You will have to make mistakes on that way. They will teach you how to stand up again and they will boost your self confidence to a new level. Failing is the natural ingredient of each personal growth. It will make you respect yourself because you will experience the hardships of personal growth in a way, average people would not dare.
4. Be sociable!
In the modern world of web based businesses and virtual realities, short messages and spam mails, it is easy to forget that people are the ones that will decide of your success or failure. Never underestimate the role of social networks, the role of being present, and the role of talking to people and building alliances, acquaintances and friends. The wealth is in hands of human beings, and you need to communicate with people on a personal level all the time. There is always a living person behind each an every decision that is being made on this planet. You may wonder how to be more sociable and there really is a simple answer to that. Firstly respect people in a same manner you would like to be respected! Secondly: never miss a chance to share a nice word with people surrounding you. Is it easy like that? Yes it most certainly is.
