Are
You Successful?
Kelly Wissink
Are you
successful? What does that word mean to you? Unlimited wealth, “toys” as
far as the eye can see, or family gatherings at your cottage on the
lake?
Success is a state of mind, and I would like to help you Succeed! Below
are some dynamic belief steps to follow.
S – Start believing in yourself and what you do!
Starting=beginning. If you wouldn’t have taken the risk and got on your
bicycle for the first time, would you have the confidence that you do
now as you mount your bike for a ride through town? This belief comes
from within and turns your dreams and vision into reality!
U – Understand another's point of view.
You don’t know it all, so don’t appear to. Put yourself in their shoes
and listen. Have empathy.
What does the other person want? What are they feeling? Block out your
own feelings and the voice that has a response to their statements and
truly “BE” with the one you are talking with. Don’t interrupt! Have you
ever thought up the perfect response, so witty and smart, that it burst
out of your mouth, only to stop the sentence coming out of the other
person’s mouth. You missed them and possibly the sale or relationship.
Have you ever truly been understood? It is the best feeling in the
world. When you put yourself aside to put the other person first, that
is true sacrifice and success.
C – Confidence isn’t a feeling, it is an action. You need to have it,
even when you just don’t feel like you can!
C – Collaborate , share your successes, be vulnerable and share your
mistakes. Be real! You will become a people magnet. Surround yourself
with people you admire. Look for like minded people, people who have
what you want, who believe as you believe! Find out how they got to
where they are and then do the same. Billionare Ross Perot paid millions
to attract the brightest to his company. Be people smart.
E – Exercise your brain and body.
Read, read, read! Readers are leaders. Have you thought about that, it
is true. The more you know, the more confident you feel and the more
comfortable you feel collaborating with those who have what you want.
Sound familiar?
Run, run, run! Keep your body in shape. Make a list of the people you
admire, who have what you want? What do they look like? Do they exercise
or take care of their outer body as well as their mind and soul?
E- Encourage others! Your friends, family, business partners all deserve
to hear praise. Dig deep to find something they are good at or have done
well, then say it, write it, sing a song to it, whatever, just
acknowledge it to that other person!
D- Determine to be better than who you are and you’ll be surprised at
who you’ll become! Use the bulldog determination like the tortoise and
the Hare. Even the snail made it to the ark. Determine not to quit,
creatively begin again and again, and again!
How hard are you going to work? How bad do you want it! It isn’t that
hard, just…
