"Think success and it will happen....Think failure and it will happen...." Thomas D. Willhite

What I have come to appreciate over the years is that there is a science to success. From personal experience and having studied quite a number of successful people, I have come to appreciate that there a number of definitive steps that if applied consistently, can make the likelihood of success far greater.

Believe This is by far the primary pre-requisite for success. All great accomplishments were preceded by an unwavering belief that the goal was possible. On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you truly believe that you will able to achieve your keenest ambitions or live the life of your dreams? An honest answer to this question will reveal your state of self-belief.

Your belief in your own ability, if positive, can propel you towards your goals; however, if negative, will ensure that you never achieve them your goals.

Self-belief simply reflects your own opinion of yourself and has very little to do with what others think of you (except of course in cases where one has allowed the opinion of others to mould and be the very foundation of how they see themselves).

Whenever you are experiencing doubt in your own ability or fear that your dreams may never come to pass, always remember that there are many that faced similar or worse situations went through difficult hardships but eventually triumphed. If they could have done it, what makes you less capable?

The mere fact that you had the ability to conjure up a goal, an objective or a dream implies that deep down somewhere inside of you is a seed of corresponding greatness that has within it the innate potential required to achieve that goal.

I know that sounded a little bit like "mind-power mumbo jumbo" but just look around you. Many of the things that surround you today, from cell phones to jumbo jets, would have been considered "impossible" a couple of hundred years back, yet someone had the dream to create them and so they exist today and have become part of everyday life.

Take Daily Action Resolve to take some action daily that will make you a better person today than you were yesterday, to better position you to achieve your goals and objectives - make more sales calls today than yesterday, see more clients this week than last week, do more research on that business idea, take on more projects etc.

For example, if you want to have a successful career, constantly ask yourself – "what action can I take daily that will eventually put me in the top 20% or 30% of my industry? What actions can I take today that will render me truly valuable to the company? With this sort of thinking, you set yourself on the path to daily improvement and eventually, that "elusive bonus" will become a thing of the past.

Positive belief and productive action is a powerful recipe for actualising any goal.

Faking It Till You Make It Success is a state of mind. This is a strange but true statement. Once you begin to act as if something were possible or act as if you have a certain ability, this will give you the confidence boost needed to get going.
