Keys To Success: Achieving the Vision

Visualization, of all the keys to success, is the most important.  Thoughts are things.  If you are thinking of starting your own business you have to have that thought.

You have to visualize what that business is.  If you are running your own business you have to have thoughts and visualize how you want it to run.

Keys To Success:  Visualize What Can Be

Whether you are an individual, self-employed business owner, entrepreneur or solo professional the first step to success is that you have to visualize it.  You must create in your mind a vision of what the future will look like.

As Napoleon Hill said in Think And Grow Rich, “What the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”

Without a positive vision of the future it’s difficult for the present to be very exciting.  You can become like a rudderless ship going from one day to the next without any firm direction or purpose.

Keys To Success:  Believe In Your Vision

Now that you have created your vision you are now about to enter the hardest step for many.  In coaching success, I can assure you that nothing happens unless you absolutely believe that you can accomplish your vision.

After all, it is belief that provides the steam for your vision to take you to the success you wish to achieve in the future.  As a personal business coach I have found that the clients with the clearest and best developed vision of the future they desire are the ones who dramatically increase the odds of their success.

With a clear vision of what success will look like it is much easier to provide the enthusiasm that is necessary to sustain your belief.  To increase the odds whether it be for personal growth, small business success or small business growth you must have a strong belief in what you are doing.

If your vision is hazy it is hard to remain excited.  If you aren’t excited it is hard to keep your belief on the level necessary to achieve the outcome you desire.

And here’s one more thing about belief.  For most, they will need others to help them accomplish their vision.  It’s hard to lead yourself and others to a successful outcome if your belief and enthusiasm aren’t strong.

Once again, one of the keys to success is to have a well developed vision of the future.  It helps keep belief and enthusiasm high.

Keys To Success:  Achieving the Vision

A strong belief and enthusiasm are the fuel that will be necessary for you to achieve your vision.  Generally, nothing significant happens without a clear vision supported by belief and enthusiasm.  If your vision is to start your own business or be running a small business successfully, you must have a clear vision.

Once you start on your path to success remember that your original vision will have some alterations along the way.  These alterations are very important.

They are important because they will challenge you to create a variation on how you are going to attain your vision of the future.   Your mind is a muscle and as you continue to refine and enhance your vision of the future this will become easier.

At first, this is difficult.  If you don’t refine and expand your vision of the future then you will become stuck or possibly overwhelmed.  Welcome challenges.  They are the obstacles required to strengthen your belief and to make the changes necessary to achieving your vision of success.

Keys To Success:  Think it. Believe it.  Achieve it.

Visualize the future.  Believe that you can accomplish it.  And set out to achieve it.  And, when you come upon obstacles just go back to these three points.  Refine your vision as you need to.  That will restore your belief.  And with your belief is restored and strengthened you will ready to achieve again on the road to your success.

Keep visualizing the process. Know the process. Repeat the process.  Those are the keys to success.

What’s Your Path?

As we go through life we learn from our failures and from our successes.

And the more quickly we recognize the errors that are on the path of failure, the sooner we can start moving along the path of success.

Both paths are well traveled. How can we make sure we are on the path of success more often than the one for failure?

First, the path of failure is necessary so we can learn how to take the path of success. But when we take the path of failure too often then, because of its high degree of difficulty and extreme demands we no longer have the energy to take the path of success.

Both paths involve decisions. And these decisions have future consequences. And these consequences can be rewarding or hurtful.

To stay more on the path of success you must make the future, what you desire to have happen, part of your every day philosophy. Ask yourself, is this taking me where I want to go a month, a year or 5 years from now?

If the answer is ‘Yes’ you are on the path to success. You may have a temporary failure but at least your decision was made in an effort to achieve something worthwhile.

When you don’t have your future vision as your guide, you are much more likely to fail and in the process not learn much that can help you. Why? You have no vision of where you are going.

Just as when you get in your car you have a clear vision of your future destination. And you make all the adjustments along the way to get there. Sometimes because of traffic or construction we may have to make a detour. But because we have a clear vision we get back on track and successfully arrive at our destination of choice.

Make your vision of the future part of your decision making every day and you will increase the odds of traveling the path to the success you desire.

What Do You See?

In some way all of us see the present. The key to successful living and growing a business is to be able see not just what is happening in the here and now, but the future consequences of what you are doing in the present.

Being able to see the future is critical to your welfare and success. If you are doing something today that is destroying your health you can stop doing it. Why do you stop? You stop because the future consequences of what you are doing today are not good.

Conversely, if you are doing something today that is good for you then you keep doing it.

In either case, your ability to see The Future and its consequences will determine how you choose to ace.

In either case, your attitude about the future depends on our ability to see the future. What do you see in your future?

All things must be finished before they can be started. And, when you see the future make sure your focus is positive.

How come? When we are pre-occupied and filled with regret about the past and concerns about the present, then we subconsciously lead ourselves toward a future that is very much like the past we left behind.

Create a positive vision of the future, start acting on it in the present and you will leave the past where it belongs, behind.

Decisions

Are you afraid to make decisions? Obviously, there are times where the fear is justified. Maybe you don’t have enough information. That’s understandable. But is it acceptable?

Some people would rather hide behind ignorance and tell you that they don’t have enough information than to take the responsibility to learn and to adequate information to make a decision. And as time passes, the situation, the relationship or the business gets worse.

They didn’t make a decision on the pressing issues. They made a decision to do nothing.

They were afraid to make a decision to possibly change things and to move forward. So they made a decision for the status quo and mediocrity.

Why? They were afraid of failing. Yet, staying in the sinking ship of mediocrity where change is not embraced is failure.

How do you move beyond being stuck about decisions? There are many answers but you have to keep reminding yourself of the following:

The decisions you are making are not wrong based on the information you have. It is the information you have and possibly who you are receiving information from that are causing you to make wrong decisions.

Getting the information that success and happiness require, and getting it accurately, is essential. Otherwise we will inevitably drift into ignorance. And ignorance is a decision.

Make the decision to rise above ignorance. Get educated and when you do you will been better able to cope with change and make the decisions to keep you, your business and your life with a high degree of relevancy.

Keys To Success: Finding Peace (2)

Keys To Success: Finding Peace (2)

In the previous post on peace we looked at one of  the keys to success, finding peace.  We looked at what is peace and what is causing distress.

In this post I am going to start out and explore a little further what peace is.  And, we will look at some ways to create peace.  We will finish up with the concept that peace is best achieved by running your small business and your life by your expectations.

Keys To Success:  Know What Peace Is.  What Peace Is Not.

Peace:  A Definition

Sometimes in defining a subject it is easier to say what it is not rather than what it is.

Peace is Not:

1. Based on external influences
2. Based on other people
3. Based on the absence of pressure

Peace is Internally Based

Definition:  Peace is to be set at “one” again.  What does it mean to be set at “one” again?  Primarily, this means living your life in alignment.  When you are looking at keys to success, whether it be in your business or life, alignment is important.

Keys To Success:  How To Create Peace

To create peace, as we grow, we must bring order to disorder.  And, this is where many of us have a challenge.  Maybe you are great at creating your own business.  Possibly, you are very good at success planning.  But, the distress, or lack of peace comes from your inability to manage what you have created.

As a self-employed business owner for many years and in my personal business coaching practice collaborating with individuals, entrepreneurs, solo professionals I can assure you that the one thing everyone would like to have is more peace.  And peace is one of the most important keys to success for the long-term.

All these individuals are very creative.  And, creativity by its very nature is forward thinking and disruptive of the status quo.

Unfortunately, everything else is a goal except peace.  A marketing business plan is put together that will increase sales but it is not appropriate for the owner or the small business.

Or, success planning directs you and your business into areas that put too much strain on your existing business or structure.  One of the keys to success is attaining a measure of peace is to build your business around honoring who you are.

Keys To Success:  Peace Is Living By Your Expectiations

Live by your expectations.  Don’t live by others.  Spend time in your strengths.  Spend minimal time or delegate those things that are unpleasant to you.  Manage your expectations, yourself and your process for doing business to honor who you are.

When you do you are much more likely to be successful because you are doing it on your terms.  Honor yourself and manage yourself in what you build and you will have greater peace which is one of the keys to success.
