Top 7 Self-Empowered Success Strategies

Do you have a strong desire to become more successful? Being successful can mean different things for different folks but the obstacles to get there seem to be similar across the board. These seven gems can help you to overcome any obstacles to your success regardless of your goals or challenges. As you read through you will be reminded of your own personal habits, patterns and ways of being.

1. Be determined.
   
   Make a decision to go all the way to the top. If
   you are not sure where the top is, imagine where
   you want to go and envision a place even beyond
   there. This new place may feel less comfortable
   and maybe a bit scary. Most people stay where it
   feels safe., and yet, real success requires
   determination not safety. Go past that familiar
   place and reach for what you really want. We are
   creatures of habit and without determination we
   will stay where we have always been. Nothing is
   wrong with that, but know that you are making a
   choice. It might be scary and it might push you
   to learn new skills and systems but if you are
   determined you will go for it.
   
   
2. Recognize what is holding you back.
   
   Most people know what it is that is holding them
   back, and if they stop and quiet their minds
   enough to listen, they will hear, but sometimes,
   someone else's objectivity will see easier than
   you can see yourself. It could be a skill you
   need to learn, a quality you need to develop, or
   an action you need to take. Find out what it and
   acknowledge and name it. Once something is named
   it is the first step to gaining power over it.
   
   
3. Surround yourself with positive people.
   
   Jim Rohn says. "You are a culmination of the 5
   people you spend the most time with." Would you
   rather feel inspired by the people you hang out
   with or do you like hearing people complain or
   be negative. We are a culture of complainers and
   blamers. If you hang out with negative people
   then it will effect your own state of mind.
   Negativity will trigger your own fear and make
   you feel either frozen or stuck. Positive energy
   is contagious and will make you feel joyful and
   happy. Which do you choose? Do you complain
   when things don't go right or do you look for
   solutions? Be a positive person yourself and
   your positive state of mind will spread to
   everyone you touch.
   
   
4. Be healthy.
   
   That old saying, "If you don't have your health,
   you don't have anything." is true. Healthy diet,
   eliminating addictions, and exercising will keep
   you vitalized, balanced, and stress free. Your
   energy will be amazing and your productivity
   will grow. Eat organic food, drink lots of water,
   breath fresh air, swim, walk, ride your bike and
   you will notice your creativity increase and your
   energy for running your business will multiply.

6. Create an uncluttered and attractive work
   space.
   
   Have a look at your office or work area. Does it
   feel good or do you feel distracted when you are
   in this space? Like cooking in a messy
   kitchen; you can do it but very inefficiently,
   and the quality of the food that is produced
   will be less vibrant. Know what your style is.
   Some people need to have everything neat and put
   away and others work better with papers spread
   out. If you are the spread out type then make
   sure you have big desk space. While sitting at
   your desk, notice what is on the wall directly in
   front of you. This is where your eyes will wander
   throughout the day. Put an inspiring painting or
   photograph in that space. It will help keep you
   centered and will support your creativity.
   
   
7. Keep your commitments to people.
   
   Relationships are the cornerstone of running a
   business. Business is all about relationships.
   Treat your staff the way you would want to be
   treated. Take time to have lunch with peers.
   Initiate. Call people back, say thank-you, give
   appreciation, and offer help. It will come back
   to you multiplied.
