7 Things Not To Do If You Want To Be Successful

By: Garry Munro, Thu Dec 8th, 2005 10:45:20 PM

So you want to be successful but no matter what you do it just doesn't seem to happen, then I offer you the following 7 things you don't do if you want to be successful:

Don't #1: Stop "winging" it and jumping from one project to the next. (The key to success is planning). Don't #2: Avoid being limited by logic, advice from friends and waiting for the right time.

(What is logically today is a myth tomorrow. If your friends are successful then listen, but, still make you're own decision, if they're not successful then why take advice from a "loser". The right time is always now).

Don't #3: Being half-hearted about your goals and dreams will only bring you half-hearted results. (Approach everything with Passion, if the passion is not there then you'll not achieve).

Don't #4: Doing many things at once loses focus and the drive to succeed. (Go for your main goal with the focus of a laser beam and watch the results quickly appear). Don't #5: Stop procrastinating. (Start NOW, nothing beats action, even making a mistake is far better then doing nothing at all!).

Don't #6: Trying to do everything yourself can be a time waster and a sure way of hitting dead ends. (Seek out people who have achieved what you want to achieve and ask their advice and help).

Don't #7: If you're not totally committed to the end result, don't start. (Be a 110% committed to finishing regardless of the "pain" along the way).
