9Keys To

Personal Success

In order to open any door you require a key. The doorway to success is no different. Here are simply 9 keys that I have discovered throughout the years that have led to my own personal success in every area of my life.

Key # 1 : Stick with the facts.Rule your emotions by sticking with the facts. Be a detective and learn to make investigation your key weapon for success. Ask questions. Delve deep. Get input. Surround yourself with wise counselors. But above all, get the facts and stick with them.

By doing so, you will position yourself at the right place at the right time. You will be one of the informed. And while others are swayed by the emotion of opinion, you will act on the basis that you have all the facts at hand. This will equip you to make informed, winning decisions.

Key # 2 : Have a plan of action.It’s amazing how good one feels when you record your plan of action on paper. Everything is put in the right perspective. Nothing is hidden, and all guesswork is put aside. This is the platform for planned success rather than unknown occurrences.

A planned life will not just happen by accident, but will allow you to adjust and swerve, if need be, when the unexpected happens. It allows you to sleep at night, knowing that by taking time to plan, you have planned to succeed.

Key # 3 : Follow the footsteps of masters.Place your toes within the boundaries of the footprint that has been left in the sand by a giant. Then do what they have done, think what they have thought, go where they have gone, speak what they have spoken and believe what they have believed.

By following in their footsteps you will be destined to live how they have lived. Trace their experience and then duplicate their ways. Remove the guesswork of how to live a successful life, by having a mentor.

Key # 4 : Remain teachable.A teachable spirit is a great spirit. It is the basis of a great life, which in turn will be transformed intoa great teacher. Bathed in humility, the one who is teachable will always learn more, because they recognize the importance of listening more than speaking. They open their mouth when they need to and keep it closed when they have to.

Reading is a vital part of their life, and because

they are teachable they surround themselves with

people who are much wiser than themselves.

Key # 5 : Walk in humility.Never think too highly of yourself, because pride comes before a fall. When people compliment you, simply respond by saying ‘thank you’ and then move on. Don’t dwell on your past victories and don’t ever believe your own press. The greatest people who have ever lived have walked in this way, and it is for that reason that they have provided a great service to humanity.

Quietly they have worked, often without anyrecognition, and when it finally arrived, theycontinued on, unchanged by all the fuss.

Key # 6 : Communication is the basis of lifeIt is so important to understand that true communication is a two way street. In fact, if you have a look in the mirror you will find that most of us have been born with two ears and one mouth. So make sure that you listen twice as much as you speak.

Communication is definitely the basis of lifeand the development of strong relationships.

Key # 7 : Exchange is the process of lifeIn order to move forward in life an exchange must take place. Good habits must replace bad habits; faith must be exchanged for fear, action for inaction, and confidence for lack of confidence. This is the process that will allow you to grow, to expand and to step into your future – fully equipped for increased responsibility that will accompany that growth.

Similarly, those whoactively take part in the

stock exchange of lifewill grow wealthy in

every area of their life 

Key # 8 : Balance Is The Key To LifeWith the passing of the years, and the acquirement of some wisdom birthed along the pathway of experience, I have realized that I can do all things if I make balance a key part of the ingredients that makes up my life. Not only did we get our business up and running, but we spent quality timeas a family laughing and chatting all the way.

Family time has always been a major part of

maintaining balance in my life – but along with that I have included physical

exercise, healthy diet, regular sleep, spiritual health and have never

stopped dating my wife!

Key # 9 : Agreement is the power of lifeThere have been times when I have plowed ahead to do things without obtaining the agreement of my wife. It was no wonder that those things failed. But whenever we have agreed to move forward with a project or a process we have always experienced success.

When it comes to agreement we make it a priority that we always move towards a point of meeting – even if at times it is by faith.

Therein lays the power – the power of life.

This is about the pursuit of a balanced success whereby you can experience the longevity of the joys and the fruits of a life that concentrated on living a successful life, and of leaving a successful legacy for future generations. Take your time in reading them.

"Successful people can't relax in chairs, they relax in work; they sleep with adream, awake with commitment and work towards goal. That's spirit of life."
