Recently, my friends and I argued. Gathering at a round table in a cafe, they discussed exciting everyday issues. Little by little the conversation turned on the topic of success and wealth.
How to become successful? This question, like us, is posed daily by millions of women of different ages, status, and professions. Yes, not just successful, but well-off. Or is it the same thing?
Everyone already has some opinion on this. For example, I have always considered success in any field the result of work and perseverance (often many years). Approximately this opinion is shared by the majority of our women's company.
But my friend Natalia replied that success is only the result of happy coincidences and coincidences. In a word, no matter how hard you work, and if Mrs. Fortuna is not favorable to you, you will not reach the desired summits. And brought some examples from the lives of their friends.
In general, the discussion flared up. And of course, each remained unconvinced. But I was hooked. And thoughts about the path to wealth and success continued to spin in my head. True, there were more questions than answers. Here are some conclusions I came to.
Modern successful lady must combine several roles. Wives, mothers, professional in any field or business woman. If our great-grandmothers, in order to gain recognition in society, it was enough to marry a decent person in time, have children and regularly manage the household, now this is not enough.
Moreover, such women, whose interests are limited only to the family, are considered boring and narrow-minded. In addition to the traditional roles of mother and wife, the shoulders of the lady of the 21st century took care of appearance, proper nutrition and body shape, career growth, education and self-realization.
In general, I am with both hands for the development and self-realization of the fair sex. But what makes up success? After analyzing dozens of success stories like a woman, I found something in common in them. A certain foundation on which their success and prosperity was built.
- Believe in yourself.
Without the faith that you can, do not achieve significant results in any field. This is perhaps the ingredient number 1 in the universal recipe for success. Belief in yourself is closely related to self-esteem, which is formed in childhood. If in childhood we were supported by parents, teachers and adults from the inner circle - we were lucky. If every child’s achievement is noticed by adults, and they do not stint on praise, the foundations of his faith in himself and adequate self-esteem are laid. If you are not lucky in this regard in childhood, learn to support yourself and surround with people who are able to sincerely rejoice and cheer for you.
- Set a high goal.
It is good to move when you know where you are going and why. Without a high goal, there will be no major results. Think in what area you want to become successful, and set for yourself a specific goal, what you want to achieve.
- Plan your time.
Having a high goal, successful people break it into smaller ones. Such that can be done in less time. In order not to lose the course, set goals for the next day, week, month, half a year and year. Write them on paper. Let your every day end with the schedule of tasks for the next.
- Follow the path, despite the setbacks.
Obstacles inevitably occur on the path of any person. And how often, having suffered 1-2 failures, we give up and abandon our dream. This is one of the main features of women who have become successful and rich. On their way there were a lot of failures, but at one time they learned how to overcome them. And they did not stop, continuing the path to the high goal.
- Learn from mistakes and problems.
From each failure you need to learn a lesson. Do not complain about the world injustice and the evil God, and use the problems as an opportunity to learn something new and useful. If you were wrong - do not blame anyone. Analyze the situation, draw conclusions, how to avoid this in the future. And move on.
- Find with whom to take an example.
Today they talk a lot about the need to find a mentor, - a man who has already achieved those peaks that you just want to conquer. I share this opinion. You should definitely choose one or several people whom you sincerely admire. But it is not always possible to communicate with them. And great women came out of this situation differently: they collected materials about their "idols", studied biographies, watched films, read books. And with the capabilities of the Internet, you can visit blogs, websites, chat online. And in a difficult moment they asked themselves the question: how would my mentor act in my place?
- Do what you love.
Then you will be successful, wealthy, and satisfied. After all, if the matter does not lie in the soul, no matter how profitable the chosen sphere may be, but you have to force yourself to do this every day. And your soul will resist with all your might. First there is laziness, then apathy, then anger at yourself. And often such a disagreement with oneself ends with a disease. But when you have a sincere interest in your business, it will be a joy to work and develop it. Energy and desire to work will appear by themselves. And most importantly - you will feel harmonious, and stay in harmony with yourself.
- Come to life creatively.
Avoid stagnation in any area of your life. The daily routine can kill both high feelings, and noble aspirations, and the most cherished dreams. And also lead to a state when the work literally sick. Salvation from stagnation - a creative approach. And creativity can be shown in any business: from cooking borsch and bedroom design to organizing the working day in your own company.
- Change your behavior.
Behave yourself according to what you strive for. If you want to reach a higher standard of living, avoid cheap bars, give up low-quality things. Let the wardrobe be 3 quality dresses than kilograms of cheap Chinese junk. Watch your speech. In a word, watch how people behave from the environment in which you want to go, and learn from them. This applies to appearance, speech, image, ways to relax, etc.
In general, I come to the conclusion that each of us has a chance to become successful and rich. You just need to know where to go. And to acquire new good habits that will lead to success is not so difficult. It is enough to force yourself to repeat the same action day after day - and after 21 days it will be brought to automatism.
So look for what you like, set big goals - and go ahead to conquer new peaks. May you always have faith in yourself, and the fear of failure will not hinder the way to your dream.
