10 Success Principles to Live By

Here are 10 Success Principles to remember....

By Jennifer Buchanan on Saturday, May 17, 2014

1. You are the only person responsible for you success.

The best part of your life will start on the day you decide

your life is your own- no one to lean on, rely on , or blame.

You are in full control of your future.

2. You don't have to invent the wheel.

Lots of success were found just by taking something that

already existed and simply putting their own twist on it.

3. There is no progress without action.

What is not started today is never finished tomorrow. Just remember,

no action always results in a 100% failure rate. So get into action now

and begin to move in the right direction.

4. Persistence always win. As Winston Churchill once said, "Success is stumbling from failure to failure

with no loss of enthusiasm." A river cuts through rocks because of it's persistence

over time.

5. Focus is everything.  If you never focus clearly on something, you will never be 100% efficient at anything.

Multi-tasking usually reduces your efficiency in dealing with each individual task.

6. Failure is necessary.  If what you did today didn't turn out as you hoped,

tomorrow is a new opportunity to do it differently. Interpret each failure as a

lesson on the road to success.

7. Positivity fuels productivity.  Success comes from positive energy.

You can choose to get caught in the negativity surrounding you or you can

decide to do something positive about your situation.

8. You must believe you can.  You must find the place inside yourself where anything is possible.

It starts with a dream. Dream becomes a reality with commitment, action, determination

and time.

9. Helping others is a big part of becoming successful.

Successful people constantly come up with new ways of helping others.

Your long-term success is directly tied to how well you serve your community.

10. Success is a journey of countless baby steps.

It's a constant process of growth. If you want to be successful, you must continue 

to hold yourself to a higher standard than anyone else, and strive to improve.
