Success
comes to those who have a strong will to succeed, a vision of what they want
and finally a plan to guide them to get it. Does that sound really simple and
easy to do, well it really is. The challenge you face though, is that as easy
as it is to do, so easy is it not to do. It is really easy to invest the time
to create a crystal clear vision for the future, build an action plan to get
you there and then to act on the plan daily. It is also easy to get lost in a
cycle of pointless wasted days of busyness and overwhelm, where each day just
blurs into the next and we never seem to achieve very much at all.
Find a recipe that Works
A great
method for finding ways to improve the level of successes you are enjoying in
your life right now. Is to identify people, who have managed to achieve
excellence and great success in their lives and businesses, in similar areas,
to the ones where you want to achieve success and then to explore how they
managed to do it. Try to get to know these people, and if possible ask them to
mentor you. Even if they are unable to mentor you, over time try to learn their
recipe for success and gradually use this picture, to build a similar recipe
for yourself.
Know Exactly what you want
The one
thing that stands out the most for me, about all the successful people I have
admired and whose biographies I have read, over the years, is that each one of
them had a clear vision and a plan behind their success. They did not just
randomly arrive at the incredible level of success they eventually enjoyed,
shake their head and wonder how they got there. They created a crystal clear
vision in their head of exactly what they wanted in their future, created a
plan to get them there and then with dogged determination; they chipped away
every day, until they achieved their goals.
Action Idea: If you want to invite great
success into your life, start by doing what all the successful people I have studied
have done. Create a vivid, crystal clear picture in your mind of exactly what
you want, write it down in the clearest and most easily to understand format
possible. Know exactly why it is important to you to realise that vision. Once
you have a crystal clear picture in your mind of exactly what you want your
future to be like. It is a good idea for you to create a plan for your success,
one that will work well and will take you to the finish line powerfully and in
style.
I have
written some ideas below to help you create your “Powerful Plan for Peak
Performance”.
Creating
your Unique Plan
All
people are different, some people need plenty of detail in their lives and they
work best with a very detailed plan, which highlights every intricate detail.
Other people are more freewheeling and work better within a plan that offers
only an outline or framework within which they must work.
The first
question to answer is “What is the right
plan”? The right plan is one that suites you and your style. A plan that is
unique to your circumstances, one that fits you and is right for you. Each of
us is unique, driven and motivated by very different things. No one knows you
better than you know yourself, create a plan, which suites your personality and
one that considers your strengths and weaknesses.
Take Action on your Plan
No plan
is of any value, unless you can actually use it daily to take inspired action.
To be effective your plan must be broken back to include individual daily
actions, which you can put into your daily schedule and actually take action to
complete. Long term sustainable success requires that you take action daily,
the secret to guarantee your success, is to ensure that the actions you are
taking are indeed the right actions. Review your progress daily, weekly and monthly
and ensure that the actions you are taking are delivering the expected outcomes
and that you are applying sufficient discipline to ensure that you are
completing all the actions scheduled in your dairy.
Reviewing your day
It is
always good practice to set time aside at the end of your day to reflect on how
you did. Are you meeting your commitments to create the future you desire? This
is an opportunity for you to go over everything you have done that day.
Re-examine everything you have learnt that day and lock all the valuable
information into your brain. This will allow you to store all the most valuable
experiences, for use at a later date.
Look back
over your day and examine all the people you saw, who you talked to, what was
said, what happened and how you felt. Each day is like a mosaic in the big
picture of your life, carefully store each one so that you can use it to create
a wonderful picture of your past. This allows you to gain the maximum benefit
from your past experiences and makes your past experiences even more valuable,
so they can serve you in the future.
Meet your Future every day
Your plan
can only work if you actually take action every day. As you know we operate
best with a daily success routine. Create time slots in your daily schedule
that are devoted to work on the tasks highlighted in your plan. I call these
time slots in my daily schedule “Meetings With My
Future” Show commitment and perseverance every day and make sure
that you meet your commitments to your future. Develop discipline and make
completing those daily tasks your top priority, every day. As you repeat this
positive cycle over time you will move closer and closer to the future you
desire and any personal or business goal becomes achievable.
Act on your Plan Everyday
Finally
ensure that you act on your plan in an inspired fashion every day. Simply
commit to do what it takes and work your plan every day. Your daily disciplined
actions, over time, will add up to massive equity. Stay committed to take
action every day and remain disciplined and focused. You have got so much to
gain when you commit to apply these few really simple principles in your life.
