How to ACHIEVE MORE and BECOME MORE

0

Okay people, let’s be real for a minute shall we?

Who doesn’t want to attain to greatness, achieve something really meaningful and substantial in life, be on the front cover of the Ovation, times or Forbes, and have hundreds of thousands of friends on face book not because you invited them but because they just want to be associated with you and stuffs like that?
NO need trying to play “the modest one” on me, nobody wants to be a total nobody, at the very least, everyone has a dream or maybe just a fantasy of becoming something.

However, the question we do not always ask ourselves is HOW, and sometimes when we do get to know how, it looks so big and beyond the reach of “ordinary you” (for those who think they are ordinary).

The Way Up

As they say, “becoming a man (or a woman), is not a day’s job” neither is becomes a bill gates, building a Rome, or a Burj Al Arab for that matter.

So how do men become men and turn fantasies to reality?
THEY FIND OUT WHAT THEY WANTED TO BE, HOW TO BECOME IT, AND SIMPLY STICK TO THE PATH CONSISTENTLY EVERYDAY TILL THEY ACTUALLY ATTAINED

It’s not more than that, that’s all there is to it.

So how do you become the best student, best employee, best in your field or business, transform yourself from someone people pass by without giving you a first look, to someone who has to avoid public places to save one’s the embarrassment of everyone wanting to talk to you, touch or take a picture with you.

You know the answer but I’ll say it all the same

The Steps to the Top

1. Know where you’re going

Really, this is more than “I want to be an engineer” or “I want to be the number one…” Yes, this is where it starts, but knowing where you’re going is having the conviction of what you really want to be and the determination to pursue it; It’s that drive that many lack.

2. Find out What You Need To Do To Get There

I have a feeling you’ll say you know this already but go with me just a little bit longer.

Do you really know what you need to do to get there

If you must make meaning of life, you must act deliberately.

Really, really find out what it takes to get there; find someone who has or is on his way there and ask questions, read biographies and stuffs like that. It has to be deliberate, but find out.

NOW HERE’S THE MOST IMPORTANT PART THAT MANY TAKE FOR GRANTED

3. Plan

Do you know what that is? yes you do, but my guess is you only think you do, but like many of us, we never really take the time to SIT DOWN TO PLAN.

How to Plan

Now this is how you plan
  • Sit down (yes I mean really sit down on a chair, your bed, the floor, anywhere, but put your behind down on something)

  • Take a pen and paper (not figurative this time, a blue, black, green, red, gold, any color of pen, but pick a pen and a paper, preferably a book specific for that purpose) and write down all the things you need to do, so as to arrive at your destination

  • NOTE: Planning only makes sense when you are headed somewhere definite, so      take time on step Two, and upgrade your plan as the demands of your goal change.
  • Break down these tasks into smaller bits.

Now here is the secret to the miracle of practical productivity

TAKE EACH TASK ONE BY ONE AND FACE IT, ONE DAY AT A TIME.

Simple but fail proof, these is the secret to the tinny drops of water that made up the ocean, the 16inch blocks that add up to form a skyscraper and the little bits of faithful dedication to work that makes up a great career and formidable business empire.

You won’t get to your destination by chance, but by choice, you won’t wake up tomorrow and be who you want to be, NO, you’ll deliberately, persistently and consistently work your way there and the key is PLANNING and GOAL SETTING.

If you don’t have specific goals for your life, that you can break down into daily goals, you are wasting the currency of life and if you finally get to where you dream to be, it would never be as fast or as good as you could have, if you had set clear definite goals.

Life is like a business transaction, you must bargain for it.
