10 SUCCESS PRINCIPLES TO REMEMBER

​
• You are the only person responsible for your success
  1. 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.
• You don't have to invent the wheel
  1. Lots of success were found just by taking something that already existed and simply putting their own twist on it (their unique selling proposition)
• There is no progress without action
  1. 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
• Persistence always wins
  1. As Winston Churchill once said, "Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm." A river cuts through rocks because of its persistence over time
• Focus is everything
  1. 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
• Failure is necessary
  1. 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
• Positivity fuels productivity
  1. Success comes from positive energy. You can choose to get caught up in the negativity surrounding you, or you can decide to do something positive about your situation
• You must believe you can
  1. 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
• Helping others is a big part of being successful
  1. 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.
• Success is a journey of countless baby steps
  1. 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
