A Note from Linda ... I believe in the Universal Laws for Success. I also believe in the Law of Attraction. I believe that we attract events and circumstances into our lives that correspond with our thoughts, focus, and actions. Everyone wants to be a success, yet many aren't sure how to attain it. They often lack focus, commitment, and clarity on what it is they want to achieve and how to make it happen. Like so many other things, success has a series of laws that, as timeless as they are, need to be practiced every single day regardless of discomfort, setbacks. and challenges. Good leaders attract success into their lives by focusing their thoughts and actions around the 11 Universal Laws for Success. What Laws of Success do you follow? My best, "To guarantee success, act as if it were impossible to fail. " -- Dorothea Brande 11 Universal Laws for Success: Doing What Works If you watch closely, you can see successful people exercising these laws everyday. In fact, one way to be successful is to do just that: find a successful person you admire, watch carefully, observe what works, and do it as well. Here are 11 ways success comes about. The Law of Experience Success comes from good judgment; good judgment comes from experience; experience comes from bad judgment. The more 'at bats' you get, the more experience you get, the more successful you can be. The Law of Hunger In the words of motivational speaker Les Brown, in order to be successful, "You have to be huuuuuuuuungrrry!" You have to want it so bad that you can taste it. You have to want it so bad that you are willing to pay the price to get it. The Law of Balance While you're paying the price for success, it's crucial to keep your life in balance. No one who is a success in his or her chosen profession, and whose personal life is a failure, is a success. The Law of Small Successes Many people never even get started on the road to success because they have convinced themselves that the task is too big. This is a myth that stops many people. Even the most gargantuan of tasks are accomplished one action at a time: Simply break your large task into smaller, more manageable tasks, and celebrate each small success. The Law of Momentum Once you get a few small successes under your belt, a powerful momentum has been set in motion. You begin to believe you can be successful, and things that seemed difficult or even impossible before become simply challenges you are eager to take on. The Law of Clarity You need to be clear about what you are going for, so you will be clear on knowing when you get it. If you say you want to make more money, that's not clear enough. I could give you a dollar and you'd have more money. But I don't think that's what you meant. How much more do you want? By when do you want it? What could you do to experience the most enjoyment while you are getting it? These questions give you more and more clarity. The Law of the Trail Success always leaves a trail. While there is value in blazing our own trail, there is also value in investigating how others have become successful. This leads us to... The Law of Modeling To be successful, we do not have to reinvent the wheel. This is so powerful and yet so easy it's amazing to me that more people don't do it. Simply find someone who is doing, or has done, what you want to do, and find out how they did it. What did they do on a daily basis to get where they are? What did they have to believe, what did they have to focus on? Most people are so honored by the question that they will be glad to talk with you. Everyone likes to feel that they have experience and wisdom to pass on to others. The Law of Habit All of us need success habits that we think and do every day. Remember, "Bad habits are easy to form and difficult to live with, good habits are difficult to form and easy to live with." The Law of Focus It's our responsibility, each and every day, to control our focus. If we focus on all the things that could go wrong and how we might not be successful, we will be pulled in that direction. If we focus on opportunity and all the many ways in which we can be successful, we'll be pulled in that direction. We control our focus. It really can be that simple. The Law of Enjoyment So many people miss out on this one. They are so busy making sure they are successful that they forget to pause and enjoy it. There are two things to shoot for in life: 1) to get what you are aiming for, and 2) to enjoy it once you get it. Only the most wise and fortunate of us do both. Adhering to the 11 Universal Laws for Success requires commitment, self-discipline, and adaptability. Working with a coach can help individuals develop and improve their abilities to implement the good habits that lead to success. A habit is defined as a recurrent, often unconscious pattern of behavior that is acquired through frequent repetition or an established disposition of the mind or character. Daily habits consume much of our time and can either help or hinder us. Create good habits by listing those you want to change or eliminate and then listing those new habits you want to establish. Share them with a coach or mentor. Consistency and persistence will help you develop your new habits and keep you from straying. |
