How to make a successful life?

Spending 60 Minutes A Day Can Make You Successful In Life

When I am reading the book, “The Art Of Closing The Sales” from Brian Tracy, there is a part of the book that seriously moved me. And this is why I would like to share with you here today.

Regardless of whether you are in sales, I believe that what you are going to discover below can change your life, period. You are about to findout how you can spend 60 minutes a day to transform your life, to become extraordinary and to achieve all your dreams and your goals.

So how do you actually do it? The answer is by making the decision to spend at least 60 minutes into reading personal development or any related books that will improve your knowledge and skills in your career and business. This is how you can achieve anything in your life by just spending a mere 60 minutes a day.

So commit to wake up 1 hour early from tomorrow onwards and make the decision to read books that will help you in your life. When you feed your mind with something positive, educational, and uplifting in the first hour, you will perform better all day long. You will be more cheerful, relaxed, and self-assured. You will also be more resilient and will bounce back faster from rejection and disappointment.

If you have to get to work at 8am in the morning, wake up at 6am, spend the first hour reading and then get ready for your day. Do you know that top people in the industry who produce extraordinary results arise early and get going immediately? On the other hand, average people rise at the last possible minute, they then runaround in circles, dash off for the office with no time to think or preparation.

Now, I would like to quote a story from the book “The Art of Closing The Sales” that has touched me and I believe it will do the same for you…

Not long ago, a young man, twenty years old, came to one of my public seminars. His name was Bob. He had long, unkempt hair, was poorly dressed, and had a negative attitude. During the seminar, I explained the importance of reading thirty to sixty minutes each morning. He sat in the back all day, taking notes, and left at the end of the day without saying anything to me.

About two months later, I got a call from his uncle. It turned out that Bob came from a broken family, was a high school dropout, and had experienced some minor problems with the law. Finally, his uncle and aunt had taken him in. He was unemployed, had no ambition, and sat around watching television most of the day. Ultimately, the uncle laid down the law and insisted that Bob get a job, any job, rather than continue to sit around the house.

Reluctantly, Bob went out and got a job in straight commission selling, from house to house and business to business. As you can imagine, he did poorly. He made very few sales and very little money. But he had to keep this job in order to continue living with his uncle and aunt.

One day, the uncle saw the advertisement for my seminar in the paper and in desperation decided to send his nephew. Bob did not want to go. He only went because his uncle paid for it, drove him to the seminar, and picked him up afterward.

In the two months following the seminar, however, a miracle had taken place. The first thing Bob did when he got home was by a book on selling. He then began getting up each morning and reading for thirty minutes before he went to his sales job. Within a week, he was reading an hour per day. Soon he was getting up at 5am and reading for two hours before he went off to work. In no time at all, his sales took off. Then they exploded. He started breaking sales records. And the more he sold, the more confident and enthusiastic he became.

All by himself, he began to make changes in his physical appearance. He had his hair cut and groomed neatly. He bought new clothes so he looked like a professional. The other salespeople in his company began looking up to him and asking him for advice.

Six weeks after my course, they made him a sales manager and put him in charge of a small territory. Two months after my course, he went with his uncle and bought his first car. He had tripled and quadrupled his income and completely changed his personality.

His uncle told me that Bob attributed all of his success to having been forced to go to my seminar. He said the most important thing he learned was the value of reading in sales for at least an hour every morning before starting out. It transformed his life.

This clearly shows you the importance of reading at least for 60 minutes before you start your day. It is the same in every industry. If you are in business, you can read books related with your business industry. Or you can always read self improvement books if you wanted to.

If you can commit to read 60 minutes every morning before you go to work, you are actually feeding your mind with great mental food. And this will surely change the way you think because you are consistently feeding your mind with something positive and something constructive. As a result, your life will change because you started to respond differently, you make decisions differently and you take action differently. You will become the top person in your field because you are thinking like one.

This why reading is important and if you can make the commitment to follow through, success will be yours and you are able to produce extraordinary results in your life.

Finally, understand this, “If you are not consistently learning and upgrading your skills, somewhere, someone else is, and when you meet that person, you will lose.”

Therefore, commit to lifelong learning from now on. Remember, wake up 1 hour earlier from tomorrow onward, and spend those 60 minutes to read. This is how you can transform your life from average to extraordinary.

What Really Matter And Motivate You

Everyone knows that motivation is very important if they want to be successful in life. When you see how great people are able to accomplish outstanding results in their lives, most likely an image of someone who has a strong drive and are always ‘on the run’ will come into picture in your mind.

We all know that you need to have a lot of drive and consistent energy in order to take action and move toward the direction that you want in life. Thus, finding out what actually motivates you will become a crucial task.

When you know what are the things that are motivating and driving you, you can then put them into your vision board, set them as goals and make use of them to energize you to take massive action.

So what really matter and motivate you?

Well, there are many things that can motivate and drive you. It can be money, fame and power, materials such as cars and big houses, pride, the feeling of hate to lose, your passion, the feeling of satisfaction, charity and helping others, and many more.

I do not know what drive you. You need to ask yourself and find it within you. We all have different things that will motivate us. For some people, it is for the money. They work hard and they go into business because they want to make a lot of money.

However, money usually is not the end, it is a mean to an end. For example, what you really want is not money. What you are looking for could be the feeling of satisfaction or the feeling of proving to your parents that you can do it.

Just like Donald Trump, for him, money is just the score of the game. What really motivates him is his passion in making big real estate deals and the feeling of winning in closing those deals.

Some people think that what they are looking for is money. But after they make all the money, they still feel lack in them. It is not the money that is motivating them. You need to find out what really drive you so that you can make use of this energy to keep you going in your life.

You have to understand that out of so many people who want to be successful in their lives, only a small portion of them actually achieve what they set to achieve. Why is this so?

The answer is that most people lack the drive to take action. Almost everyone wants to be financially independent, but majority of them fail to accomplish this aim because they do not have the motivation to earn the money, save and invest.

This is why knowing what really motivates you is a very important task here. If you know that you are working so hard to achieve what you want because you want to prove it to your dad that you can do it, I suggest that you put a picture of you and your dad in your vision board and let this picture be the fuel and drive you in your journey.

Knowing what drives you can also help you in clearing all the clouds in you and gives you a sense of peacefulness and passion. This is what is happening to most people out there. They are working on a daily basis, and if they do not like what they are doing, they will feel hatred with their work. As a result, they feel stress and always complain about their work.

Do not let this happen to you. When you are clear with what you want to do and what you love to do, you will never complain about your work. This is exactly the same as finding out what motivates you. When you know what are the hot buttons that can turn you on, you will be in control and are able to turn on the button at any moment you wish!

This is how powerful it can be when you know what really drive you. You will feel the energy flow in you and the fire within you. You will want to take action and desire for success. By then, you will have no problem taking action and nothing can actually stop you.

So take your time to discover what you really want and make is really motivating you toward the goals that you set. Why do you set those goals? What will you get from achieving them? Why do you want to achieve those goals in the first place?

If you can answer those questions, you will have a clue about what you really want and you will know what your ‘hot button’ is.

Look at all those great people who accomplished amazing results in their lives. They always have the drive and are always ‘hot’. They seem to have all the energy to wake up early in the morning and take action until later of the day. They can even sacrifice holidays to work on their dreams and their goals. Can you do this?

The Absolute Way To Achieve What You Want In Life

Well, there are many things that you may want to achieve in your life, but this does not mean that it is easy. In fact, many people fail to achieve what they want in their lives. However, I strongly believe that every one of us has the potential to accomplish great things in our lives if we wanted to.

It is just that you have not awakened the giant within you. When you tap into your maximum potential, nothing can ever stop you. So how can you bring out your best and achieve whatever you have set to achieve?

The answer is that you must follow through the success principles that have been practiced and used by all the extraordinary people out there.

Be clear with what you want

The first one is that you must be absolutely clear with what you want to accomplish. So ask yourself right now, do you know what you want to accomplish in 3 years? If you do not know what you want to achieve in the future, you can never tell whether you are doing the right things that will get you the results that you want.

So stop becoming like a lost sheep. If you are serious about getting what you want, make your mind clear and focused single-minded toward that target. If you do not know what you want to achieve in the future, you can never know whether what you are doing right now is contributing to your dreams.

Do you know that the strategies to make $100,000 a year and the strategies to make $1,000,000 a year are totally different? You cannot work as an admin in a small company and earn a million dollars a year. It is just impossible. What I want to show you here is that it all depends on what you want to accomplish. The goals that you set are going to determine what you should be doing now.

A lot of people did not realize that what they are doing right now does not actually contribute to their goals and their dreams. Therefore, make sure you are moving in the right direction that you want to end up by determining your destination first.

What really drive you

Next, you have to make sure you have the passion and the ‘stamina’ to complete the journey. Achieving your goals and your dreams are not something easy. This is especially true if you set extraordinary goals that will propel you forward by a giant leap. I want to stress it again, it is not something easy, it is something very challenging.

If you set your goals as something that are easy to accomplish, you will be just ordinary. Extraordinary people set outstanding goals because they know they are difficult to achieve, not because they are easy to achieve.

So do you have the courage to set big goals? If you do, great! Make sure you have the passion and the stamina to take the necessary actions that will produce the outcomes that you want.

Most people fail to accomplish what they have set because they do not have the drive to take the necessary action that will give them the results that they want. Do not let this happen to you.

Ask yourself, what do you really want from your goals? A lot of people set their goals to become rich and to become a millionaire, do you really think that it is the money that is motivating you?

Most of the time, it is not the money that is motivating us. For many people out there, it is other thing that is driving them to achieve more, it is not money.

Some people just want to prove themselves that they can do it. Some people do it because they want to help their company to move forward. Some people do it because they feel satisfy and doing their work makes them feel great. Some people do it because they just want to make enough money to buy a house and to save enough for their marriage. So what really drives you?

It is just like an athlete, what drives you that you want to become the champion in the game? Often, it is the drive that will keep you moving forward no matter how tough the training will be. So you see, if you do not have the fuel, the drive, the motivation, the stamina or whatever you want to call it, you will burn out very fast and give up once you face obstacles.

Successful people will never give up. If they give up, they will never be successful anymore. The same goes for you. Why do you want to achieve your goals and accomplish extraordinary results in your life? Your answer will show how motivated and how committed you are with what you want in life.

Having the right tool

Do you have the right tools and equipment to succeed in life? If you are in business, your tools can be your office, your mobile phones, your computers, your attire, your employees and anything that can relate to your business success. If you are a tennis player, what will be your tools? For instance, they can be your shoes, your racket, your sports wear and many more.

It is quite easy to have the right tools. You can look at other successful people in your field, and learn from them. For example, you can look at how superstar athletes play, how they dress, how they train and more. For sales personnel, you can look at how your top salesmen in your company dress, what mobile phone they use, how they talk, and to some extend, what car they drive and so on.

Of course, you do not have to copy everything, what you want to accomplish here is to learn from other extraordinary people and see what kind of tools they are using that can help you improve your own results.

Having the right tool can help you achieve the results that you desire faster. And this is one of the keys that you can use to replicate success in your own life, easier and faster.

These are some of the most important factors that can help you in your journey to success in life. Remember, you need to be absolutely clear with what you want so that you can take the right action to produce the results that you are looking for.

After that, make sure the drive is there to fuel you toward your destination. This is where a lot of people lose in the game. They simply cannot take it because they do not have the motivation to put in 100% commitment for their dreams. So find out what motivates you and nothing can ever stop you again.

Finally, you need to have the right tools in order to produce outstanding results. Just like going to your destination, you can choose to walk, to drive a car, to travel by air, or cycle there or to take bus. There are many ways to achieve what you want, however, having the right tools can get you toward your destination faster and easier.
