”If you want to be successful faster, you must double your rate of failure. Success lies on the far side of failure.” Thomas J. Watson

It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all – in which case, you fail by default.

The fact is that the more you have already failed, the more likely it is you are on the verge of great success. Your failures have prepared you to succeed.This is why a streak of good luck seems to follow a streak of bad luck.

When in doubt, ”double your rate of failure.”The more things you try, the more likely you are to triumph. You overcome your fears only by doing the thing you fear until the fear has no more control over you.

Most people have habits – some are positive, some are not. Successful people tend to have more of the kinds of habits that contribute to their success.

Effective Habits of successful people

PLANNING

One of the most frequently mentioned habits of those who are successful in life is organization. Such organization includes planning as well as setting priorities and goals prioritize “To-Do List” every evening before going to bed to prepare for the next day.

Positive attitude is a small thing that makes a big

Having a positive attitude is not just a result of being successful – it’s one of the root causes of success.Joel Brown refers to gratitude and positive self-talk as priorities in the lives of the ultra-successful. Moreover, Brown says, it’s not enough to express gratitude and a positive attitude. You must also remind yourself why you are grateful in order to achieve a deeper effect.

Be frugal

Being frugal is not the same as being stingy. Frugality is a habit of being thrifty, with money and resources. It is also a habit of being economical. Learning to be economical comes through avoiding waste, which automatically results in efficiency.

Corley notes that wealthy, successful people avoid overspending. Instead, they comparison-shop and negotiate. The result, according to Corley, is financial success through the simple act of saving more money than they spend.

Don’t give up on your power by just thinking you don’t have any

Read a lot

It’s important to note that successful people read. While they also read for pleasure, most use their reading habit as a means to gain knowledge or insight.

For anyone who needs inspiration about the value and importance of reading, look no further than the example of billionaire author, J.K. Rowling, who says she read “anything” as a child. She advises, “Read as much as you possibly can. Nothing will help you as much as reading.”

The Bottom Line;

Most people have habits – some are positive, some are not. Successful people tend to have more of the kinds of habits that contribute to their success.

The good news, for those who wish to be successful, is that cultivating positive habits takes no more effort than developing bad ones.

Some of the best habits of successful people involve only conscious effort, like getting up early every day. Others, such as becoming organized, may take a little more skill and practice but ultimately result in the most desired outcome of all – success.

THINGS TO REMEMBER:

The past can’t be changed

You only fail if you quit

Success is not like a football game. It’s not a sports because in sports when time is up you are either a winner or a loser.Your dreams and goals have no time limit,you try and try again and again until you succeed.

Don’t give up on your power by just thinking you don’t have any


Sometimes “no” means “not right now”

If you want to be successful,’No means Not Now’ should be your number one principle. But also taking No for an answer doesn’t mean you should ignore reality. You just have to take no as a life setback which is not permanent that will push you to adjust your strategy and reboot your method and skills. Then your No will turn into your Yes.

Doors close so that the better ones can be opened

Do not focus your attention on the failure-the closed door, don’t be frustrated,as frustrations will take away your attention from the new door that is opening for you. It’s not going to be easy to move the attention from the loss but if you take it as a plot twist of your success story then you are going to make it.
