A thousand mile journey begins with the first step You only need to focus on making each of those steps towards your end goal successful steps and then you cant help but succeed.
Im not suggesting that success is going to be an easy walk though the park, youll undoubtedly have setbacks and your course will change etc but what I am suggesting is this.
I know, I know, all this theory looks good on paper and seems so simple, but life usually gets in the way of our plans, right?
Measuring Your Success
If you can learn what does work for you to achieve your success, youre much more likely to get success. Knowing what isnt working is equally as important, you obviously need to stop doing whatever it is that isnt working. Stop doing what doesnt work and start doing what does work and you will eventually attain success.
Success is a simple and scientific process. You make some progress towards you goal and you either dont quite get there or you do get there. If you dont, you adjust your method and try again until you move a bit closer to your end goal. When you do succeed in moving closer to your goal, you take another step closer. If you keep doing this, its impossible to fail.
