Don't chase success, attract success. 7 steps highly successful people do to attract success. Would you believe that most successful people that have achieved great heights in life "attracted" the success they have been able to achieve in life rather than merely chasing it? Truth be told, I've been chasing success like it slapped my momma and stole something from me at the same time. In other words ruthlessly chasing success down. What does that mean exactly you ask? It means I have been looking for anyway to achieve success by any means necessary. I looked for the expedient factor and path of least resistance when it came to achieving success. "I looked for the expedient factor and path of least resistance when it came to achieving success." ,The expedient factor is when someone tries to get to point A to Point B the fastest way possible with the least amount of resistance. Typically those are the folks that like to take shortcuts, hate working hard, and want the get rich quick system that never works. That was me in a nutshell and I wasn't proud of it, but the truth is I wanted to chase success so badly that I lost sight of what success meant. I had always known the true way to achieve success is to attract it to your life, but it was easy to lose sight of that truth when you're blindly chasing success. The first time I specifically identified what I wanted success to be was when I set the goal of getting more dates with pretty girls, so I took courses on it. My favorite course was by David Deangelo called double your dating. (don't worry this isn't an article about picking dating) I learned from that program to focus on myself, improve myself, my image, my attitude, my confidence , learn conversational skills and most importantly practice, practice and practice. Only then would I be ready to "double my dates" (as the program promised) so I did just that and after a few misfires you can imagine the results, I didn't just double the amount of dates I quadrupled it. What that program taught me along with what I've been able to learn from tons (and I mean tons) of books and literature on the subject of success has allowed me to achieve a small piece of that success today. You see 5 years ago, I bought a business that was generating $2 Million in sales and $400,000 a year in cash flow. I managed to grow that business to 3 locations and double my profits. I did it because I decided to focus on attracting success into my life not chasing it. 7 Steps Highly Successful People Take To Attract Success. Step 1. They specifically identify what that success means to them. Sit down and write out what success looks like to you, what do you want to achieve? be specific down to the last detail. For example: Not Specific: I want to start a business that will allow me to quit my job and travel more. Specific: I will generate a passive income of $8,000 a month in the next 3-6 months doing. beginning today Feb 1st, 2016 with a completion date of August 1st, 2016. This will allow me to travel more and live a better work life balance while doing what I love. Step 2. They set their goals and break down their goals into action steps. their goals are created after they have identified what success looks like to them. They start off with 15 year goals and work their way down. (don't worry if you can't see 15 years out.) start with 10 year goals / 5 year goals / 3 year goals / 1 year and down to 3 months and 1 month... 1 day Step 3. They believe in laws of attraction. They know they must attract the success they want through the way the feel, think and the energy the emit into the universe. Tip: Watch the documentary or read the book titled "The Secret" ( I watched it on netflix). They also visualize the success they want to attract... similar to watching a movie on the big screen, they picture themselves already with the success they want to attract, how their life looks, what they're wearing, who they are with, what car they are driving and so on. Visualization is very important to attracting success into your life. Step 4 They are avid learners. They know that when the opportunity presents itself they must be prepared so they attend continued education courses, seminars, conferences. They buy audio programs and e-books and attend courses. Step 5. They Are curious about problems. When a problem presents it's self they ask "What If" questions...What if we did it this way? Step 6. They create time and spend time in constructive mode: building, creating, initiating. Most people will tell you they just simply don't have enough time in the day to spend on learning, creating, tinkering and initiating. Reality is the highly successful people in this world make the time. A few months back I discovered from attending a seminar by Robin Sharma (who's by the way an amazing speaker and motivator) that waking up at 5am each day can change my life. So I practiced building the habit of waking up each morning at 5am for the past 60 days until I build the habit of waking up at 5am. I now have an extra 4-5 hours per day then I did before I build this habit. Step 7. They are quick to pivot. They know when to change course and pivot to a different project or different way of doing things, they don't get complacent. They know when a certain direction, idea or plan is not working and are quick to change course, most people that continue to struggle in life don't realize when to change course. Extra Step . They are continually evolving. They choose to spend their time learning they choose to see problems with curiosity, they choose to experiment, they choose to create space and time creating and construction, and they choose when the opportunity comes to pivot. Start living a life where you attract the success you want and not chase it. Challenge yourself everyday to be iconic and live your life the best way you possibly can, and watch success com to you.
