The hard cold truth is that you must be better, smarter, and faster than the next person to succeed.
Read it again, you MUST be better, smarter and faster than the next person to succeed. Sounds harsh right? I am willing to bet if you read that sentence to anyone who has ever enjoyed any level of success, they would agree. So the question is what are you doing to make yourself better, smarter, and faster?
Here’s my Top Ten Tips to become the person that you have always wanted to be.
10) Take time for yourself.
If you do nothing but work, worry, and stress out you will lose focus. Read a book, see your favorite movie, go for a walk on the beach, whatever you love and have a passion for.
9) Never be negative.
If you let the negative things dominate your life you will miss out on the things that you should really focus on, there is always one positive thing to be found no matter what the situation is.
8) Measure Twice, Cut Once.
I am sure that you have heard that old adage. Any time you are faced with a difficult decision take some time to really think about it, don’t rush blindly into anything that you do. Measure your decisions twice and then make them.
7) Surround yourself with like minded people.
There is a famous quote floating around out there that read something along the lines of “The secret to my success is to surround myself with people that are very good at their jobs and then let them do their jobs” I am sure I am miss-quoting but the gist is that once you have your goals in place and you know what you want to achieve, find people that are thinking like you and want to help.
6) Learn Something Everyday
I don’t care if you learn the airspeed of a African Swallow laden with a coconut, (ref Monty Python) or you learn how to build your own airplane. Learn something, Ray Crock of McDonald’s was quoted many years ago “If you are green, your growing, if you’re ripe you rot” Be green, keep your mind alive and growing every day.
5) Plan your work, then work you’re plan.
Sounds simple right? I have talked to hundreds of people and when I ask them what the plan is I get a blank stare. They say I want to do _________, or I need to do ________. Okay so how are you going to do it? My dearly departed Grandmother used to tell me as a child “If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.” When you make your wish, whatever it is, make a step by step plan of how you are going to achieve that wish. Once you have the plan, run with it.
4) Dream Big.
The only way to get big is to think big and the only way to get what you want is to ask for it. Again, both of those things sound simple, but most people, don’t know how to ask for what they want. Last time I checked, I did not know any mind readers. Never be afraid to ask for anything, and remember the absolute worst thing that can happen is that the person says “no”.
3) Think Quickly and Speak Slowly.
I have always believed that it is not what you say to someone, but rather how you say it to that person that makes the difference. I believe that you can say anything to anyone as long as it is said correctly. Choose your words carefully and if you do offend or hurt someone by the wrong choice of words don’t be afraid to apologize to that person.
2) Listen
God gave us two ears and one mouth. If you listen twice as much as you talk, I have found that you will go much farther. Knowledge is power and to get knowledge, you must listen. Then reference #3
And the number one thing to be better.
1) Have Fun
Laugh, have passion for what you are doing, make a game of the hard things. Work like you don’t need the money, love like you have never been hurt, and sing like nobody can hear you. I know I am being clichey here but those old clichés are around for a reason. If you have fun every day, at everything you do you will win.
