The 10 Ingredients That You’ll Need To Know In Order To Achieve Success In Life And Business…
Hi All,
You have a dream? You want success? You need to succeed? Here’s what you need to make it happen.
I don’t like the expression keys to success. There are no locks to success that need to be opened. Success really has an open door policy and it’s up to us just to walk on in and make all our dreams come true.
There are INGREDIENTS that need to be blended and a recipe to follow to create a successful life. As in cooking everyone will always add that little something of their own to the recipe to make it special and successful.
The 10 ingredients below are to be working together for and with you at all times. They’re not to be addressed as individual ingredients to be used individually at certain times. You will find that all these ingredients will blend and overlap each other on a daily basis. The more you know about each one and how it will affect you on your success journey the stronger and more accurate you’ll be when trying to hit your targets or goals.
The following are the 10 ingredients for success:
1-Support – Everyone needs a cheerleader. Everyone needs someone to go to for advice, support and information. When the body and mind want to quit you need a voice whispering in your ear that you can and will make it. Friends, family or other professionals could make up your success support team. This is the most critical ingredient for your success journey.
2-Dreams – Everything starts here. Whatever the mind can conceive it can achieve. Don’t let anyone tell you to give up on your dreams. Make your dreams an integral part of your life.
3-Goals – We all need direction. You need to know where you’re going and when you’ll be able to get there. Goals will help you with this. Make them big goals. Don’t be afraid to set big goals. Big goals will energize and inspire you.
4-Reality – You must learn how to deal with the harsh realities of life at the current moment and at the same time keep your eye on where you want to be. Your dreams and goals will help make this happen for you.
5-Positive Expectancy – You must be able to know in your heart that whatever life throws at you it will be ok and you’ll be ok. You must embrace and have faith in the notion that every day is another chance to start fresh and fix and adjust anything that knocked you off course.
6-Emotions – Emotions are yours and they are meant to help you and guide you. You must acknowledge them all and respect them. Let your emotions have their say and question why you feel that way. You’ll feel empowered and confident once you and your emotions become allies.
7-Fear – Everyone lives with this particular emotion. Courage is not the lack of fear it’s feeling the fear and moving forward anyway.
8-Think Negative – Expect the worst and hope for the best. This attitude will never let you down. It will stimulate questions that need to be answered and it will help in keeping you safe in business and in your personal life.
9-Questions – Questions get you answers. Answers are what you need to be able to achieve success in your life. Always ask questions that start with who, what, when, where, why and how. Question everything and your chances of success increase at an incredible rate. You can never ask too many questions.
10-Action – Just move forward. Adopt the attitude of ready, fire, aim instead of ready, aim, fire and make adjustments as you travel. You can’t get to where you’re going unless you get out of the house and let opportunity bump into you.
Embrace all 10 ingredients and as you move forward build your own success support community. As I said earlier this is the most critical ingredient of all.
Having success support is about having people in your life who care about you and are loyal to you as well as having people in your life who are positive, intelligent, ethical, and ambitious. Having quality people participating in your success journey and each person enthusiastically participating is absolutely essential to your success.
Your success support team gives you feedback, helps you brainstorm new possibilities, and sets up accountability structures that keep you focused and on track. You must create a success support group who will brainstorm together with you and help you move closer to all your goals and dreams. Success Support is a significant, critical ingredient for you achieving all your goals and making your dreams come true.
Good Luck,
Regards,
Barry
Two Critical Elements You Need To Have On Your Success Journey
Two Critical Elements You Need To Have On Your Success Journey
To have in your grasp every element that you need to succeed is extreme wishful thinking. You can never have too many but you can have too few and you certainly can have the wrong ones.
After 30 years of building large ladies apparel manufacturing companies I’m here to tell you that the two most critical elements needed to build your fantastic future are Attitude and Success Support.
Attitude:
“Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.” ~Winston Churchill
Definition- A state of mind or a feeling; disposition.
Talk about an understatement. This statement reads so mildly, so peacefully that you would think “a state of mind” is weighted the same as a simple bad mood. The fact is your “state of mind” or attitude is your control center and it will determine what you accomplish today, tomorrow, next week, and many years to come.
It will determine how you are received,cared about, liked and loved by any and all people you meet in your personal and/or business life.
Attitude determines how you react to life and all of life’s challenges. It will be the key that opens the doors to many opportunities. All you have to do is boldly proclaim “I want to change my life, ramp up the hope machine,check your attitude and move forward.
Your attitude is all about how you think and how you react.
If you want to know how to give your attitude an overhaul read, “How To Win Friends And Influence People” By Dale Carnegie and “Think and Grow Rich” By Napoleon Hill. These two books are the foundation of the Personal Development movement.
In Addition, visit your favorite search engine and search “attitude” to find an unending supply of great articles on the subject. I implore you to do the research and give your attitude a reality check as soon as possible. It could change your life.
Success Support:
This element to me is the most powerful one and it is worth whatever time and effort it takes to cultivate.
To do Search Engine research — “Mastermind Groups”, “Success support”, “Success Support forums”
What Success Support does for you:
1.You have trusted people available to help you achieve your goals.
2.You get the benefit of differing perspectives, input and feedback.
3.Your Success Support team can bring resources and connections to the table you might not have had on your own.
4.You have people who care about you and your future holding you accountable and offering a steady flow of inspiration and encouragement.
Your team should have it all covered and it should be diversified:
1- Parents, family or significant other for private moments when fear or anxiety overcomes you. A hug from someone who loves you is a great thing.It also allows you to be yourself and that is very powerful.
2-Professionals…Accountant, Lawyer, Life coach, Banker Etc.
3-Mentor- Having this could cut many years off your learning curve.
4-Doctor to monitor your health.
5-Trainer or gym partner to push each other to exercise.
Napoleon Hill, in “Think and Grow Rich”, even went so far as to say that there was a mystical quality created when a mastermind group or success support team was formed. He said: “No two minds ever come together without, thereby, creating a third, invisible, intangible force which may be likened to a third mind.
If you concentrate on all of the above your success journey will be much more enjoyable and you dramatically increase the odds for success in your favor
POSITIVE MESSAGES
”The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other’s life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof.” RICHARD BACH, Illusions
“Here is the basic rule for winning success. Let’s mark it in the mind and remember it. The rule is: Success depends on the support of other people. The only hurdle between you and what you want to be is the support of other people.” ~ David Joseph Schwartz Quotes
“When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang one minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn. “~Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811 – 1896)
Once you choose Hope, Anything’s possible
“Once you choose Hope, Anything’s Possible”… Christopher Reeve
The Definition of Hope:
1. The feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best.
2. A particular instance of this feeling: the hope of winning
I ask you “Why not you?” I ask you “Why shouldn’t you have everything you want in life?” I ask you “Who told you that you can’t have what you want”?
It seems that too many people believe that where they are in life today is where they will be forever.
I ask you Why think that? I ask you “Who made you believe that?”
I’m not saying it’s easy and that if you just change your attitude you’ll be on your way to your dreams. I am saying why not take a baby step towards your dream. Dip your toe in the water and go from there. That’s easy. Start with busting out of the chains that keep you down.
I want you to defend yourself against negative people and the negative talk. Defend your right to succeed. Why be bullied into low achievements by words that are not accurate or true? Words spoken by people who will never do anything with their lives. Little People!!!
Hope means busting out from the loser village that people close to you got you to buy into. Oh, the people that love you wouldn’t do that? Right? Yes Right!!! You did it to yourself and you allowed it to happen. Hey, I ask you “If you did do it why can’t you undo it???”
To Summarize: You want success in your life?
1-Use the questions above to bust out of all the mental restrictions you imposed on yourself. Start small. Just question yourself or have a positive human being work with you. Don’t beat yourself up. Take one question a week to begin your journey. One Question… It’s that simple.
2-Physically move forward towards you dream. You got 4 kids, 2 dogs, mortgage, helping your in-laws and no time. I ask you “Can’t you find 15 minutes every day that you could do research on making your dream come true?” If you can’t you might as well just resign yourself to your current reality.Just 15 minutes… It’s that simple.
3-Ladies and Gentlemen: You gotta have HOPE. Hope is dealing with your reality today AND at the same time know that you will be ok and that you will succeed. I ask you “Why Not?”
Good luck!

Barry
Who’s On Your Side???
Who’s On Your Side?
There are a Gazillion books on how to think positive thoughts and how to be successful. There are a lot of men and women who are making fortunes “teaching” us how to be happy and how to think positive thoughts. There are too many people giving us the “inside” scoop on how they became rich and successful and, OH BOY! , how we could do it too. The problem with the majority of what is being written and spoken about leaves out the most critical key to a successful life’s journey… It’s the answer to the question, who’s on your side?
The truth, in my opinion, is that yes, there are some basic rules you need to follow to have a successful business career or build a wonderfully fantastic life but the one thing, and the main thing, you need to have is a success support group that is there for you. They should be a mixture of people who are Nurturing, smarter than you, more successful than you and they should all believe that dreams can come true if you all help each other.
Most of the books and sermons emphasize “YOU” and what you have to do to move onward and upward. What they don’t mention is the fact the most important success ingredient is whose got your back and “Who’s on your side”. You’re not the Lone Ranger and that mentality will help you get absolutely nowhere and eventually slam into that proverbial wall.
From my experience the people you know and who know you is more important than any experience or Knowledge you may have. What one is lacking in traits needed for success can be rented (accountants, life coach, lawyers, and employees) or found in a success support network. Your own personal success support community.
What you need to do is once you have some powerful goals and before you begin to do anything you must look around you and see who you have on your side and how they can help move you to the next level and complement your personality and abilities.
“WHO’S ON YOUR SIDE???”
This is the most important question you will ever have to ask in your whole life. It’s the question and it’s the answers that will put you on the road to success in anything you want to achieve. If you want to bring someone with you on your journey to success and you think they can help you… STOP – LOOK – THINK. Look into their eyes and think silently “Whose side are you on?” Concentrate. You will be amazed at the answers you’ll get.
“WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON???”
Use this question every day of your life. Ask your important People just for the hell of it. If they are truly with you they will “Get It” and be happy to answer you. Ask it out loud when you need to make heavy people decisions. Listen carefully and you’ll be able to build a very strong success support network.
If someone is offended by the question then they’re not for you and they’re “Not on your side”
Make this question and its answers a priority when building your success support community. It will make the difference between whether you succeed or fail. I’ve lived this. This question will protect you if you’re honest and accept the reality it exposes.
I sincerely wish you the best of luck. Keep on Moving forward.
Regards,
Barry
