What are the skill sets you
possess, that you believe can contribute towards reaching your goals?
Take a long hard look at
yourself and see what characteristics or skills you possess, which will
contribute to your sustained success. This self-audit will help you
assess where you are regarding your current skill set. It will also highlight
any shortcomings that you may have and allow you to take action to remedy them.
This new awareness will
also program your brain to start looking for what you need. Amazingly exactly
that will start showing up. The more clarity you can create around your
goals and what you need to support you to achieve your goals, the easier it is
for your brain to filter the specific bits of information you need, out of the
billions of bits of information you don’t require. The greater the degree of
clarity you create in all areas surrounding your goals, the more powerful the
assistance from the universe will be too.
Identify Resources in your Environment, Which will support
You
Look in your immediate
circle of influence and identify the people, who you already know who could
possibly help you to achieve your goals. Get clarity on exactly how you would
like them to assist you on your success journey.
Action Idea: Know exactly what
support you need and then approach them with a clear request for assistance.
Ask them if they would be willing to offer the scope and type of assistance you
require. More often than not people will be willing to mentor and support you.
The secret to make this work for you is not to have only one way expectations. You
must find ways to build mutually beneficial relationships with the people, you
know can support you.
Look beyond your Immediate Sphere of Influence
Once you have discovered
the people in your immediate circle, who you can build mutually beneficial relationships
with. Look outside your immediate circle of influence and try to identify any
other people, who you will approach or contact to help you with your goals. It
is really important that you are clear on what type of assistance you require.
It is unlikely that anyone will offer their assistance, if you are vague about
what you require or what your expectations from them are. You must be clear
about the exact contribution you expect and the input you require from them. Be
very specific about the time or other commitments you would need, from them. Try
to always see ways of offering something in return to them. One way relationships
are seldom sustainable. Whenever there is fair exchange, relationships are not
only sustainable, but there are winners on both sides.
Identify Character Traits in People, Which will Support
you
Once you have completed
this exercise, where you have found people around you, who can support you. Really
open your mind. Try to identify personality or character traits or
characteristics in other successful people, who you feel will significantly
contribute to your future achievements. This exercise will program your
mind to unconsciously begin looking around for the right people to help you to
succeed. You can never succeed in isolation; you need the support of mentors,
coaches and other people, who can support you. Success is a journey, which is
far easier to travel, when you have the support of people, who can help and
support you.
