Someone once said, “The key to happiness is having dreams. The key
to success is making your dreams’ come true.” Today I want to talk
about making your dreams come true. I want to talk about five keys that
will help turn your dreams into reality.
Without further adieu….
5 Must Read Keys to Success:
1. Preparation
“The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.”
~Benjamin Disraeli
Success loves preparation. If the perfect opportunity presented
itself today, would you be ready? It’s better to be ready and not have
an opportunity, then to have an opportunity and not be ready.
To succeed, you must be ready when opportunity comes. Spend your
time preparing for success, when your opportunity comes, you’ll be glad
you did.
2. Work
“Success is simply a matter of luck. Ask any failure.” ~Anonymous
All failures know that success is simply a matter of luck, they know
it’s just a matter of being at the right place at the right time, they
know with assurance that success is directly linked to good ole fashion
chance.
However, those who have succeeded know that success is directly and
proportionally linked to work. Even an amazing strategy can’t guarantee
success. Zig Ziglar said, “The most practical, beautiful, workable
philosophy in the world won’t work – if you won’t.”
You have to put in the time. However, when you put in the time, it
makes success all the more sweet. When you come from “behind” and do
the impossible, it makes success as sweet as a honeycomb. John H.
Johnson said, “I believe the greater the handicap, the greater the
triumph.”
3. Remember the Golden Rule
“Success is still the constant application of the Golden Rule.” ~Anonymous
Never forget the golden rule, “Do unto others as you would have them
do unto you.” That’s the key to success. Serve your clients as you
would have them serve you. Meet their needs as you would have them meet
your needs. Give them prices that you would want to pay, exceed their
expectations in a way that you would want your expectations to be
exceeded.
When you follow the golden rule, you open the door to success.
4. Confidence
“Confidence is the companion of success.” ~Anonymous
If you don’t believe in your abilities, don’t be surprised if no one
else does either. Your negative thoughts about yourself send a signal
throughout the world that others pick up on and respond accordingly. If
you’re broadcasting the station “Depression 108.7” then others will
treat you like you’re depressed.
But, when you believe in yourself and your potential, people pick up
that signal, and they will treat you according to how they believe, you
believe, you should be treated. Did you get that?
5. Lead
“A most important key to successful leadership is your ability to
direct and challenge the very best that is in those whom you lead.”
~Anonymous
To be successful you must be a great leader. There’s probably
nothing more difficult than being a great leader. It’s easy to be
selfish, it’s easy to only be concerned with your needs, your wants and
your desires. But to succeed you have to lead! You have to do what’s
best for the people; you must bring the best out of those in whom you
lead.
When you really lead, you will succeed.
