Whenever I introduce myself and say that I am a self-starting entrepreneur, I often get asked the question, “How did you become successful?”
The truth is your success is not defined by others or calculated by superficial numbers. Success is measured entirely differently.
In fact, the secret to becoming successful is so powerful yet so incredibly simple, and it all starts with a complete shift in perspective.
Future Focused
Growing up we are often taught that to be “The Best” or “The Smartest” means to make the fewest mistakes. We’re taught that we need to get the most questions right on the test or to shoot the most balls in the hoop to be the winner.
However when it comes to the game of life, the real winners aren’t those who never mess up. The true winners are those who experience betterment, wisdom and strength by accepting setbacks and failures.
I first discovered this when I stopped comparing my path to others’ and started measuring my achievements in lessons learned. I looked at every hurdle as an opportunity to grow and a chance to tune out the noise that steered me off course. I chose to remain future focused and believed in my heart that I knew where I was going.
On my path to success, I’ve also learned that the road to achieving my goals is not a straight line! It isn’t as simple as having a great idea and capitalizing on it like lightning in a bottle. It takes a tremendous amount of determination, positive thinking, and persistent productivity.
One thing I know for sure is that when you set your mind and heart on course for something you truly believe in, anything is possible.
Know Your Why
In order to stay on course and navigate the road to success we must learn how to stay motivated, trust our instincts, and keep forging ahead. This means staying persistent even when met with roadblocks and setbacks. Achieving this comes from knowing your “Why”—your reason to persist.
This all starts with believing in yourself and trusting in the tenacity of the human spirit. After all, there’s nothing you cannot achieve when you dive in headfirst and give it all you’ve got.
When I first heard about my Premium Fuel Source almost five and a half years ago, I was skeptical and didn’t want to take a chance on it. I didn’t want to try this new drink because I wasn’t 100% certain it would work for me. But after I did decide to try it, and I experienced all of its transformative benefits, I realized how life-changing this technology was and how it could manifest so much betterment in my life. It now has been almost four years since I said YES, and I am so happy I did!
It was then that I took a big risk, started deeper into my entrepreneurial journey, and opted to go all in on this premium product. I believed in my heart that it could make a huge difference in so many people’s lives, and I wanted to share it with as many people as I could.
I found my why.
Keep Going
Success comes to those who persist and go after their goals with all they’ve got. If you’re looking for ways to keep powering your positivity and continue pursuing your dreams for success, try asking yourself these questions:
1. What’s something that challenged me in the past that is no longer a challenge? How can I apply what I learned from that experience to a new obstacle?
2. What is my “Why,” and how can I pursue it?
3. What helps me stay future focused?
